You can hide it enough so it doesn't embarrass you in public. You can pretty it up so that others are not as annoyed with it. You can try to ignore its whelps and howls when it gets out of hand. But can you free yourself of your ego?

Thank you for the simply profound insights of how to seek freedom within and without !
May you be blessed with continued strength to help fight all the spiritual bondage we find ourselves enslaved with.

the simple truth is the hardest to accomplish. Thank you for the insight.

Rabbi Tzvi speaks to me in a remarkable voice. Chag sameach, Tzvi Freeman. Your words inspire .

Truth tastes good, though doing isn't as easy as wanting to. But we still can, you taught me that.

This is breathtaking! All this work of Sefirat Omer, 49 days of refining our emotions from the hart down, can do nothing to clear our main blockage, our Mitzraim, our strangled neck. Only the fiftieth day, G-d willing, can take us beyond.... Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a brilliant article - you gave me an extraordinary clear understanding of "I" (ego) along with the holiest of Resolutions. I am grateful for your thoughts - and your exceptional ability to get them to me, and through me.

This article seems to go nowhere? Is that intentional?

WOW!! What an insightful article. Please get this printed on every religious website on the planet! To say you speak Truth would be a gross understatement.
Did you know how a farmer can tell the difference between a "weed" and a "reed"? The reed bows as the wind blows.
May we bow our heads as the reeds do to the one true and Living G-d while there is still time to repent and to live a lifestyle of humility. amen

Simple. Poignant. True. But oh, so difficult to accomplish. Every day is a struggle to do exactly as you've said. But you've reminded us that the struggle is worthwile.

This article is way up there with the writings of the Sartres and de Beauvoirs. This is a clear and simple explanation of the existential situation of every human being on the planet.
Rev Freeman, thank you for the insights you provide us that help us understand ourselves, our world, and our relationship to/with G-d.
