I guess i have problems keeping them seperate because in the book he says anytime you want anything,that is your ego. But now i can see the difference,like wanting to take a shower isnt selfish,and wanting hunger to end isnt selfish. I just dont like how he worded that,it made it so black and white.

So, you could buy a brand new expensive car and a house and become famous, but if you realize that the real you isn't the
rich famous person who has a cool car and a big house, you are successfully dissociating from the ego and on your way to true and sustainable happiness and peace, according to Tolle.
That would be quiet the test! I cant imagine most rich and famous could dissociate themselves from their ego.
