The Unveiling of the Ego
Descartes wrote, "I think, therefore I am", yet nothing could be further from the Truth.
Today, all of our Psychology, Psychoanalyses, Education, even commercial enterprises, both support and expound upon this notion.Shoring-up our ego-structure is THE main goal for self-development. The way that we worship Religious, literary, artistic, political, academic, parental figures of all types...
New-age techniques like EST, Landmark Forum, and many others, spend much time breaking-down the ego, only to substitute it with their brand of conceptualization...
Suppose you took it away altogether, and observed what remained in its lack, suppose you learned to recognize its varied atttempts at re-establishing itself in your personality, suppose you learned to recognize it in others and in every human endeavour so far attempted...what do you think you would see?
I purport that God-realization is as easy as removing the veil of the ego that is preventing you from seeing yourself the way you are.God is not something external, or internal for that matter that needs be attained, but rather the notion that is preventing you from experiencing your God-Self, yet at the same time insisting that you do just that, that is the web that your ego-mind has woven, that is the matrix from which you need to awaken, that is the grid you need to map-out.
Plato said "I only know, that I know Nothing", I invite you to explore the vast realm of that Nothingness, No-Thingness, N0- Body ness, a realm that our senses are eluded by, that our thoughts cannot imagine, I invite you to journey into the discovery of who you really are, to answer for yourself Ramana-Maharshi's question "Who Am I"
