Egos Are Delicate Things

Ego – ergo, I – is just consciousness (what we are) clinging to memories.

“I think, therefore I am” is both an idiotic and a profound statement that perfectly describes intelligentsia’s misunderstanding of our actual reality, and proof that we think we are our thoughts.

Ego is so quick to repeat what others say, while claiming it for itself. Think twice about immediately accepting what any religious person, scientist, poet, newsreader says.

If the Buddha made a statement, how do we know it’s actually true? It is only through personal investigation and testing that we actually know anything. We’re merely guessing, otherwise.

The truth is what we already know. The truth isn’t a mystery; it’s pure consciousness … what else can it be?

Getting upset, annoyed or angry is ego at work. But as ego is a fictitious memory, it only exists in our mind.

Our reality is exposed in the first instant, before the anger arises.
This is mirror-like wisdom; pure perception of pure consciousness.
