Thanks. It seems like the ego is one of the biggest and most powerful ways of keeping people asleep. "Us vs Them", competition, "we are separate", "I need to be the best/fastest/smartest/have the most", etc, and much more are all so polarizing. What a great way to keep masses controlled and fighting amongst themselves. I've found the release technique to be a huge help in trying to understand and circumvent the ego (or, understanding how to love it and let it be). Amazing how it dissipates once you focus love and approval on the ego. But it can be hard to maintain.

Does karma exist as we commonly understand it? Are there some "universal laws" out there? Does doing good deeds rack up some good karma points in the "universal bank account of my soul", somehow?

Thanks again.
