@Cortex You go first.

@Sukhpaal Could it be that your self identity is beginning to dissolve and so it is over compensating to validate it's existance? Observe and contemplate that to see if it's true.

@dimitri The answer to that can be found in these words of Nisargadatta..... What changes is not real. What is real does not change.

All joking aside I really have no idea.

@Jack River SUPER ego. - JUMBO shrimp. Get it? An ego is an ego no matter how you slice it.

@Jack River The same person who coined the phrase- JUMBO shrimp

The three faces of ego seems like one big illusion to me. All of this does.

All I see is illusion.

The realization that there is no direct experience with an external world is quite mind blowing.

lol

Here's another just so we're sure we're on the same page.

Regular ego needed a place to slip into it's Super Ego costume.

@Jack River It seemed to fit here for some odd reason. Maybe it's just me?

I know. It's an odd model and it's got ego written all over it. And not just in the literal sense

@Anders901 She told me to sit anywhere. So I looked around and there wasn't a chair. -The Beatles

@Anders901 Mu-

@Anders901 Call that the ground state of all experience.

@Jack River It works great when needed to cross a busy street. After that all bets are off.

@The Don Here's something that's not often said about ego death. Once you've experienced it for yourself, it's actually kind of cool in a strange way. You learn to make friends with it because it offers you something other then what you had access to before. Then you can't look away.

Ego just hangs there suspended in the nothingness supported only by it's own illusion.

@The Don Neither did Buddha

Pacing yourself are you?

You gotta go straight at the very foundation of the ego otherwise your just pussy footing around.

What's stopping you from having a direct experience of ego death right now? If you feel your self-enquiry is seriously fucking with your ego your doing it right.
