Ego and Ambition in Service

"I understand consciousness and that ego doesn’t exist as it appears, but how can I be competitive in business without ego? How can I push myself without it? Rupert says: ‘First, the ego does exist, but it’s not what it appears to be. There’s a difference between something that doesn’t exist and something that’s an illusion. A square circle doesn’t exist. A landscape in a movie is an illusion – there’s something real there, the screen. The ego is like believing the space in this room is limited by the walls. The space exists but isn’t what it appears to be. It appears limited but it’s not. The ego is the belief that your being is finite. Why could you not desire excellence without your being aggrandised by it? Use your mind as a tool to push you to greater heights. Be ambitious. Put your ambition in service of love, in service of humanity. Use your entrepreneurial skills to bring something fabulous to humanity.’"
