If Dr Seuss Met Up With Eckhart Tolle (Oh, The Places Your Ego Will Go)

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Laugh your ego into enlightenment! Scott Kalechstein Grace takes on the style of Dr. Seuss as if Dr. Seuss studied with Eckhart Tolle and was on a spiritual path. Free your inner child from seriousness. Have fun with your ego.

I hope this little video brought you joy, and that you joyously share it with others.

I trust you have had a good laugh at your own ego. We all have one. The trick is to stop identifying with it and listening to it as if it were your guidance counselor. Laughter can help. Witnessing presence through meditation is also powerful.
