The Death Of Ego
‘Ego’ is the Greek word for I.
Ego is created in every moment that consciousness clings to an idea. No clinging, no ego. This state isn’t vacant; consciousness is naturally suspended awareness, or pure consciousness. It’s what we are. The very moment consciousness recognises clinging, we are free – ergo, the death of ego.
Of course, ego will return as karmic events unfold, until the moment of complete enlightenment. Noticing the returning is our practice and our path.
The death of ego is the realisation that there is no such thing as ego.
