agree with GuaiEye, "stunningly articulate" - and to me, this is a refreshing, necessary view to consider by Western Buddhists and spiritual seekers. A real gem, thanks for sharing!

[GuaiEye]

Stunningly articulate.

'To get rid of ego' is to replace it with a larger ego that sees other viewpoints. Then not to identify with that, but be open to learn more. Not to 'think' is to see the spirit and meaning behind things and behind that too. We could call it listening to intuition, nature, spirit or our inner common sense. You look at anything and see all is in different combinations by the second. It's sometimes useful to see the newness of something and re-find the awe and joy of it all that we once had.

Well suffering is a great teacher to let go of the Self. We can't force a person it's enlightened being, but to discover the passion of a person, or allow it to open up to it's divine principle will be the next chapter in humankinds evolution. When our perception of eachother changes we can stop exploiting eachother. The collapse of humankinds egoic world order will liberate humankind and allow to view this world from a different perspective. God is Love
