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

It depends how far and how deep a person wants to go into the subject of ego.
We are not the ego, which is thought based, anything that comes and goes is not what we truly are.
We as consciouness experience , it is possible to experience without judging or evaluating or comentating ,labeling or puting our experience into words. One can be left speachless on experiencing a beautiful sunset.
The words are not the sunset experience which is subjective.

As the ego is transcended life is experieced to the full with less and less fear less and less judgment. More and more acceptance of what is, more peace, more aliveness.

An apropriate prayer might be.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
Courage to change the things I can.
And wisdom to know the difference.

In an egoless state the enlightened one dosent mind what happens but right action will ocour.
The persona is still there.
