If the ego is flawed, i.e. a terrible driver, why would the consciousness create this? Why couldn't consciousness create an ego that simply observes and doesn't try to "drive?" Is there some practical reason for this?

Yes, it's called imperfection. As I believe consciousness is perfect, then on some level I'm guessing that it would like to enjoy imperfection, hence the need for the physical reality/observer deal. The trick is to remember that your real identity is consciounsess and therefore you are actually the back seat driver all the time, but for the sake of the perception/illusion you perceive that you are the front seat driver. The more you identify with the back seat driver (consciousness) the more the front seat driver (your physical body/mind) can get out of the way of creation.

Second part, who is the decision maker - Consciousness, or ego? You talk about conscious choice being the creator, do you mean that it decides or chooses for us? But then you say, that the egos job is to observe and decide. Sorry, if I'm reading your thoughts incorrectly, just like some clarification.

They are not two seperate entities, I know I explain it as back and front seat driver, but it's the same thing, the one thing. Physical reality/avatar is an expression of consciousness, you are that consciousness. If you think about where thoughts and decisions truly come from, you'll see that it's not your physical body/brain, there's something else running the show (consciousness) and your body and physical output is creation, not creator, try to think of it as the real you is just having this incredibly detailed and dense experience called physical reality and the only way to enjoy that experience is to place an observer there (you, your physical body) to observe all your creation.

Thanks for the interesting discussion. Don't mean to sound interrogating or anything, I value your thoughts and point of view, so that's why I'm asking you.

You're welcome, feel free to ask me anything, me no stupid
