I see what you are trying to say in this post, but I was wanting a more specific definition of ego in the sense that you were talking about ego in the post. This post reminded me of something in the teachings of Arten, Pursah, and Gary Renard. On the CD set Secrets of the Immortal by Gary Renard he specifically talks about how some people teach that you should just become friends with your ego. And he says that is perfectly fine to become friends with the ego, but only if you want to stay stuck here. And when everything is going fine, staying stuck here doesn’t seem all that bad, but when the crap hits the fan, as it always does eventually in this dualistic world, getting out becomes very appealing. And to get out requires undoing the ego (undoing the unconscious ontological guilt as it is described in A Course in Miracles). I suppose it’s all about perspective and objective though. And it is also all about what level you are talking about, mind or matter.
