“Everything’s pretty much ok, so why do I feel a bit perturbed?”
In conversation with a client.
There was a bit of a sense of foreboding, as if it wasn’t ok that things were ok.
I floated the idea that it might be ego, up to its tricks.
You see, ego—which just wants to exist; you can’t really blame it!—has no incentive to keep showing up in the same form. Once you’ve spotted one of its disguises, you’ll spot it again quickly.
So it has to evolve.
