In this episode I discuss "immortality projects" - a term coined by Ernest Becker to describe the ego's efforts to escape the fear of death. This episode includes:

• What type of "projects" the ego creates to hide from death
• The cost of denying death
• Why denying death makes us vulnerable to cults, conspiracy theories, and manipulation
• Why we need to awaken to our Higher Selves, our witnessing and observing selves, and help the ego surrender to our own higher wisdom
• Why even "death work" can be an immortality project for the ego
