The ego is a barrier to experiencing love from "summary" of A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson
The ego is like a protective shield we put up to guard ourselves from getting hurt. It's that voice inside our heads that constantly tells us we're not good enough, that we don't deserve love and happiness. This ego-driven fear keeps us from truly experiencing love in its purest form. When we let our egos take over, we become preoccupied with our own needs and desires. We start to see love as something to be earned, something that we have to work for. We become so focused on getting love from others that we forget to give love freely in return. Love cannot flourish in the presence of fear and ego. Love requires vulnerability, openness, and a willingness to let go of control. It's about surrendering to the unknown, trusting that we are worthy of love just as we are. By releasing our egos and embracing love unconditionally, we allow ourselves to experience a deep connection with others. We no longer see love as a transaction, but as a gift that we can give and receive freely. When we let go of our egos, we create space for love to enter our lives. We become more compassionate, empathetic, and understanding towards ourselves and others. We start to see the world through the eyes of love, and we realize that love is not something to be chased after, but something that is always within us, waiting to be shared with the world.
