Question of the day: am I ready for ego death?

I don't think the ego can be killed directly. By attempting to destroy it, you focus on it & ironically give it more power.

What you might want to try is starving it of it's sense of separateness.

Fight your internal judge & victim. These are the 2 aspects that the ego depends on for seperation. Comparison is food for the ego & also the thief of joy.

I agree. Ego can’t be “killed” completely as we need it to operate still if we follow school of Freud.

I guess for me at this point it’s more about how do I drive actions from the higher self (which is above the 3 aspects from Freud) and not the egotistic self.

Life without an ego will be incredibly boring and I guess I like fun too much still 😅
