The ego doesn't exist

@Joseph Maynor I understand that and I agree. 

'Being' is not about agreeing or disagreeing.  It's the Mind which agrees and disagrees.  Being is about locating that which the word 'being' is pointing to.

@Joseph Maynor It cannot be located. It simply just Is.

Now.  Does what 'being' points to say that it's God?  Where are you getting that concept from what 'being points to?  What is creating this concept of 'God' -- this meaning, this thought, this talk? 

Does what 'being' points to need a concept, thought, meaning to hang in an unchanging frame?  Or is this like a piece of property that you have in your possession but don't have any use for?

You can also call God 'It''. It here refers to what you really are. But you are right God is ultimately a concept and using It is more appropriate. This It is Everything and omnipotent which is why I like to call it God. I am conscious of It and that cannot be described in dual language or with the mind.

Omnipotent? This is more conceptualization, is it not?

@Consilience Yeah but once on weed I became conscious that It is I and everything. Right after that I became aware that It can do anything it wants cuz it is Everything. What can stop it from doing anything it wishes?

That question presupposes that there is someone to have wishes and desires so I'm not entirely sure how to answer you. But I guess there is nothing to stop it.

I don't know if it has wishes or desires but yes nothing can stop it from doing anything for sure?

@Joseph Maynor @Highest I am not enlightened also if i am not sure just absence of thoughts is called being or god. 

But once when i didn't know what it is called i feeling or sense of me or IAM. So i was doing self enquiry and the attention touched the sense of me or i feeling. Thats the first time in my life i experienced i feeling sense of me as an experience. 

So from that experience i can for sure tell i feeling or sense of me is real. That i feeling or sense of me is hiding the being or conciousness. 

So i agree ego is real and god is a concept.

There is only It (that which you and everything is, call it whatever) . Your experience of me being real was it. It's all it. There is only It.
