The Ivory Tower and the pursuit of knowledge

[kevn]

I'm not sure if there's any middle ground to that. Can I have half an ego?

Not half but transformed. Some teachings (Jesus, Ramakrishna, St. Francis) mention the servant-I: I am the servant, He is the Master. I am the servant, He is the doer.

You remind me of something I wrote:

"Elle m'inspire, et moi j'expire"

"She inspires me and then I exhale"

It's a bit along the same lines... Trying to remember how to be like that again. Humility seems to be the key. But here's the twist: it's hard to be humble when you know that's gonna lead to being divinely inspired!
