I don't see how you came up with the "war on ego", Steve. You seem to believe that when you give up identification with the ego you are unable to function correctly. You can't lose sight of ego completely unless you're dead or schizophrenic or something, I'm no aware of any spiritual master encouraging suicide. When one stops identifying with the ego you become aware of "your" individual self in a greater context, I'm just not aware of anyone claiming that you need abandon context completely. Or maybe I'm confused and that exactly what people mean when they say enlightenment? |
