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

That is why the philosophical assertion " I think therefore I am" is incorrect.

Hi Kriya
good to see you.
Both my favorite teachers say it is back to front. "I am therfore I think" then promptly disswade you from the notion that you are the thinker.
Anything that comes and goes is not what you are.
Anything experienced therefore is not you.
If thought were you, you could easily stop them.
Your body is not you, try stopping breathing and see what happens.
Interestingly when you have been siting with several people silently for few moments note that the breath synchronizes, all breath in and out at the same moment.
Namaste
Chris
