I believe I'm almost putting the pieces together when it comes to understanding the concepts of the ego, true self, reality, determinism, etc. But right now I'm struggling to understand how to best put this actualization into practice. In other words, I'm wondering at what level I ("my" ego) can influence my life? Is in the ego's power to define the rules for my true self to live by? If so, it's all about redefining these rules and getting out of the way so my true self can be most of the time in a flow state? If you have some metaphor for the ego that could help me understand it please do share it, I would very much appreciate it

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the concept of ego, ego death, true self, etc. But after listening to the "Distraction" episode in which Leo says that 99.99% of people are lost when it comes to self-actualization because of distraction, it got me wondering: what would be like living a life free of distraction? and what if everyone was living that way?
