Our mind is like a parachute: it only works when it is open | Erica Rijnsburger | TEDxBonn

Our mind is like a parachute: it only works when it is open. But how to keep your mind open when the work you love to do asks a lot of you and of your time? And how to keep your mind open when you are far away from home and your beloved needs you? In this talk Erica Rijnsburger will take you with her on a little journey into yourselves.

Erica is a trainer and a teacher and organize retreats for all kinds of people. She is a very clear observer and sees where and how people set themselves in a fixed state of mind, where in fact our mind and personality is a fluid state of being with different contents at any moment.

The ego is constructed to survive everything she says. So it is not wise to kill it. Apparently she does not know that the ego is our captivity of the matter/duality-apect of the universe. And is the reason of our ongoing search for freedom, harmony, balance etc. So it is wise to get rid of it. Of we do so we become who we really are, one with our observer, our conciousness of our ego. Then we are free of our struggle to survive and live by the Will of life itself which is infinetely simple.
