Thank you! I’m very grateful for your work. (Also, I’ve never understood the quest for nirvana. Sure, no more pain, but also no more beauty, rollicking laughter, fun puzzles, wonder, joy, magic. Sounds like a shitty trade. I’ve had enough pain to know it’s worth the price of admission.)
I totally agree with your assessment of the worth of an ego. I am someone who has lived my life with a fairly thin ego. I cherish the freedom to now embrace and express the truth and beauty that comes from the singularity of Shari. Like you said, it is my responsibility to till my own soul and plant seeds of my own creation.
I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I’ve missed your weekly horoscopes in the Reporter. Which was the only thing worth reading in the paper. I am so happy to have found you here. I have subscribed to get your weekly updates.. I have a friend who has one of your first books. Keep writing.
Substack can be maddening in its inefficiency. The only thing I know of to do is to unsubscribe and then resubscribe you. If you want to do that, send me your email address at truthrooster@gmail.com.
For all the radical non-dual teachers who have zero-to-none understanding of the human psyche, the so-called eradication or denigration of the ego can often result in a profound Soul fragmentation for those engaging in such extreme practices.
For many of us, myself included, the ego actually needed building-up and not devalued, no less exterminated.
Thank you for all your writings Rob. They are always a soothing, imagination sparking draught. I am not currently in a position to offer financial support but I will certainly spread the word.
I love my Leo forecast for the week. I work with people soooo different than me. Different in interests, politics, capabilities, stamina, predilections and so much more. Sometimes they surprise me with a nugget that quakes. I know that sentence is ridiculous but your posts give me the freedom to be ridiculous. Thank you for that. And for orienting me towards those whom I often try to avoid. I’ll be especially attentive to them this week. 😊
This: “I’m proposing a crucified and resurrected ego, a gorgeous and lyrical and empathetic ego that’s a gift to humanity.”
Thank you. Yes. May it be so. 🙏🔆
I bet you A TRILLION NIRVANAS 🤣🤣🤣
The letter is so lovely, Rob, and needed. Thank you for this gift today. 🙏💖

Yeah, it was a shock to get boosted out of the Reporter after having been there for over 30 years. I guess readers didn't complain enough about it!
Our loss. The paper is not as interesting under new management.
Love your love letter to the ego! 💜
Beautiful, Rob!
The Ego transformed is how Spirit naturally works through the body.
As usual, your weekly astrological predictions hit home for me! Being an Aries, this is exactly and uncannily what I’m dealing with personally.
Thank you Rob!

Hi Pam —
Substack can be maddening in its inefficiency. The only thing I know of to do is to unsubscribe and then resubscribe you. If you want to do that, send me your email address at truthrooster@gmail.com.
Sorry for the hassle,
Rob
Testing. Thanks for quick response.
Rob…I love this SO MUCH. 🙏❤️🌷🌟💫

“Thank you for reminding me that self-interest may be the sacred instinct of preservation.”
MOST CERTAINLY the case here.
You are one of a handful of Cosmic Life-lines out of a transcendent teaching that relied on emotional bypassing and spiritual materialism.
So grateful for your Song.
