The ego sees Love as hate
Guidance as blame
Acceptance as rejection
Recognition as reproval
Examples of the above:
- A desire to help someone join you in happiness is seen by the ego as hate because it is not happy now
- Forbidding an unsafe action is seen by the ego as taking its freedom away
- Allowing a pattern to unfold and calling it out is seen by the ego as not being liked as it is
- Refusing to help because help is not needed is seen by the ego as a refusal to be helped
