Breaking Free from the Ego’s Old Program | Q&A With Shunyamurti

For the infant, the mother is the original Other and taken to be God. The reactions, attitudes, and justifications the child develops to deal with the struggle between love and hate in that relationship remain as sanskaras. Those continue to be projected throughout life at the internalized mother now in the form of other things, situations, and people. In this Q&A, Shunyamurti explains how to return to God as the source of light within in order to be free of the ego's suffering, repetition of trauma, and defensiveness against love.
