Why is there a body?

@Joseph Maynor There isn't... The body exists within consciousness as well.

Whether the body exists within consciousness or not, the body exists on some level.  You can call that whatever you want.  You can say that it's an illusory level if you want to.  But if I come up to you with a baseball bat and threaten you, you telling me your body doesn't exist ain't gonna carry any water for you.  We wanna be smart but not so smart that we're not smart.

Why is there an ego?
See if you can find it first. If it exists,then you should be able to find it,right?

Ego is your life.  It's everything that's near and dear to you -- both inner and outer.

@Joseph Maynor correct.  There is only the idea or concept of the body which exists within consciousness.  How did this come about?  That is what the great mind which is all of infinity simply mustered up.  It's the same question as to why there is a tree or why there is existence.   Infinity is everything....

That is your perspective. I've found it to be different.

My question to you would be this.  You have what you just wrote there.  How does that differ from what it's like to be you?  What's the relationship, if any, between what you wrote there and what it's like to be you?

Society and your own thoughts are main thing behind creating it, what is the purpose of this question? 

I have not had single realization that would show that existence is movie, only thing that points at it is real life experience that you can access, but it could be nothing more then brain interpretation, so I can not take it serious , as you still have ego in it.

You mean the fact that I am indeed an idea as well and not real? There is in fact no difference.  And I became conscious of this the week I became enlightened.  And on the day of that realization and true consciousness of my true being I basically went from complete bliss to feeling dead inside.  Not sure how to even describe the despair of that moment of realization other than to say see my post on stomaching the truth.  Ego backlash resulted.
