Light Headed - Ego Identification

I was meditating today in the park, on my lunch break.  I had this sensation of light headedness... and it scared me. I get all these fears like, "what if you're dieing?"  "what if you loose consciousness?"

I dont know why I get the lighteded feeling... But what I realized is that i'm so ego identified.  All I could do is grasp onto my chair, and try and break the meditation, to focus on myself.

This fear... this attachment to the body, is ego identificaiton... and it's not pleasant.  It disrupts and blocks spiritual progress.

Quote: Kriyananda

“I have always found that by adhering rigidly
to right action, I have achieved all the success I wanted and needed in
life.” - Kriyananda

How to be successful

To be ethical and all decisions made with a dharmic mind.  Only through right action is one successful.

How to separate God from Ego

A similar question was asked of Swami Kriyananda.  He mentioned that our ego wants to get in the way, but the way we can discover what is ego - if there is desire behind it. 

The guidance of God, shouldn't have selfish desire associated, but the egoic goals will have desire.  Find decisions that don't have selfish desire.

Fear

I was meditating a few days ago and came across this idea of Fear.

Fear, when confronted with a situation, is normal for someone attached to their body.
But fear, when no situation is currently at hand, is not normal - and instead the concentration on that fearful potential can create the outcome.
