The Presence Projects presents episode 99 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series. Join Paul for a podcast that focuses on a game/program the ego plays in a variety of different scenarios that creates a significant amount self-inflicted suffering.
The title and topic of this episode is “If, That, Then Is a Game of the Ego". In this podcast Paul shares his personal, and clinical, experiences where he has observed, identified and exposed an ego program that is woven deeply within the constructs of the matrix being proliferated by societal conditioning that prevents Presence.
This ego program acts as a Presence obstruction as it's used to eject you from the Present moment by creating conditions that need to be met so you can get to a future moment that will be better, or easier, than the one you're existing within. It is imperative that this ego game be observed, addressed and removed with the use of Presence Tools.
Until this is accomplished the ego will use it repeatedly causing strife, angst, frustration and a variety of other negative states of being where the ego thrives. Because of how frequently, and effectively, the ego uses this specific program it may take some time and dedication to identify and stop it from running. Persistence and Presence will provide you with ample opportunity to uproot this insidious ego tool allowing for more neutrality, peace and prosperity.
As always, it is advisable to listen to earlier podcasts that discuss other Presence topics and Presence Tools that can be implemented to help shift into the Present Moment.

The Presence Projects presents episode 98 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series. Join Paul for a podcast that addresses obligation, what it is, how it’s used, the effect it has on the Present Moment and how we can reframe it.
The title and topic of this episode is “Obligation Is a Tool of the Ego". In this podcast Paul dives into a subject that has created a lot of self-inflicted suffering at the hands of the ego. Everyone on Earth goes through life with a certain number of obligations which is why this podcast is so relevant and relatable.
Being obligated to do something usually entails having to complete a task, action or responsibility that we do not want to do but must do. When we feel forced to do something the ego thrives and establishes a state of resistance and resentment, both are tremendous Presence obstructions. By being Present and remaining the observer of our thoughts, feelings and emotions there is an opportunity to shift into a more neutral state of being by simply accepting the task at hand. You can then willfully choose to do it because it needs to be done regardless of how you feel, or think, about it.
As always, it is advisable to listen to earlier podcasts that discuss other Presence topics and Presence Tools that can be implemented to help shift into the Present Moment.
