Default Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?

Dear friends in a way we have moved away from the topic of the thread and that is very beneficial.

The paradox is that the ego just a bundle of thoughts which I insist in in believing is me.
The pull of ego is very strong yet the ego is nonexistant.
Thus the purpose of the thread is tp discover that it is the "Phantom" and perhaps ultimately become thought less awareness
Nasargadatta in the book "I am That" said "Show me the ego and I will smash it to pieces"

I have an ego or I would not be expressing a point of view.
Its still work in progress but the mind is becoming quieter and quieter, time can pass and no thought arise. It is rare to have a though that bothers me.

It amuses me that we are attempting to talk about something which cannot be spoken of and putting our thoughts on what oneness is about God who is silent supreme intelligence without parts and just radiates LOVE without doing anything.in tg

Talking about the ego is one thing talking about God is another, yet the two subjects are connected.

Chris

Namaste
