Episode notes

In this episode of Monday Mornings with Peace, we explore the ego as a false god—a counterfeit ruler that keeps us trapped in loops of pride, fear, self-importance, control, and distorted perception. Through powerful wisdom from Jesus, Theologia Germanica, Epictetus, the Buddha, and Marcus Aurelius, this episode offers 5 deep mantras for breaking free from the false self and returning to peace.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in repeating mental loops, constantly defending your image, needing control, or confusing the voice of the ego for the voice of truth, this episode is for you. This is a reflection on overcoming the ego, escaping the loops of self, inner peace, spiritual growth, Stoic philosophy, and the deeper work of the soul.

Monday Mornings with Peace is a weekly reflection for those trying to live with more clarity, depth, and grounded purpose in a strange world.
