Book excerpt: Why stupid? • Stupid means our intellect is being overruled by our ego in the way we live our lives. • Stupid means having ego-driven, reality-disconnected thoughts, often leading us into unnecessary and painful beliefs, feelings, behaviors, and physical symptoms. • Stupid means spending more of our life focused on daily and mortal survival and less of it on truly living. • Stupid means blocking ourselves from spiritual awakening and being the love, life, and energy that God is. • Stupid means failing to recognize and live the divine gifts everyone has been given—life, creating our life, eternal life, and God within. It’s Your Ego—Stupid! exposes you to a greater understanding of your ego; symptoms of ego imbalance involving power, flexibility, and vulnerability; and insights for fixing your ego so you can live the great life you are meant to live. You are an intelligent, spiritual being capable of becoming a better human being! Nick Martin
