This was forwarded to myself and Mark over at IKN by a mutual newsletter subscriber. It is simply awesome in its illustration of what it sometimes takes for us to get over ourselves and get beyond the grip of our own egos.
He mentions that he learned "dying is not scary", and that resonated. While it does not compare to the terror of being on a crashing plane, I was once moments from death (bee allergy), and in shock. I calmly sat there (while my wife ran around looking for the Epi Pen) unable to see (other than a grey haze) and thinking 'I am dying' while having absolutely no emotion about it whatsoever. It was matter of fact. That was due to being in shock according to the doctor. But it was kind of cool knowing that when you go into shock pre-death, you feel totally at peace.
That's my story and while I feel I have a lot of work left to do on my ego, I think what this gentleman has to say can help us all. Especially in living each moment and gaining perspective toward the abstract environment in which you and I operate; namely the financial markets. Thanks Julian, for passing this along.

Nice share--thx. It seems hard to find anyone with an introspective inkling that doesn't realize our tendencies in ego. I know I oftentimes find traces in the words I use--traces I wasn't even conscious of at the time I used them.
