Get Rid of the Ego?

I hear this a lot from the 'new age' type of people, and firstly let me say that if you really do want to destroy your ego, then good luck and "I" - or "this particular area of the collective awareness" - wishes you all the best.

Because that is one hell of a task to embark upon.

('cause we can't keep down this reptillian braaaaiiiin)

It certainly is true that the ego is a major problem, in that it is via the ego that we are most easily manipulated, and it is because of the ego that we are most likely to be assholes and ruin things.

I agree we would be better off 'reining in' the ego, to be aware of how the state and the corporate world play on the ego to create compliant serfs who, paradoxically, think they are free.

So we cannot allow our psyche to be ego-ruled. But wait a minute...

It is the ego that says "I'm a human being goddamnit; my life has value!"

Without the tempered ego, individual rights aren't possible.

I. Me. My right to self determination. My self ownership. And yours too.

Without the ego, no individuality, no freedom. We are not all one in these terms, we are 6-7 billion. The globalists would love to destroy the ego, IMO. We are all one in ideals, in ideas, in other terms, but - and let's be grateful for this - we are not a hive mind.
