"Present me and future me..."
"why should..."
all these... also thoughts...
questions like these... undecidable...
* thoughts are the words of your language in your mind.
* The ego is thought.
* The ego is the I-thought.
* "I am happy", "I am sad", "I did this", "I did that". There are so many sentences that are thought of with the word I in them. That thought "I" in each of those sentences is the ego.
* The root of thought is the I thought.
* Disconnected the I-thought from the external sense objects to which it attaches, and all other thoughts will fall away.
* Follow the I-thought to its source.
* To turn the attention that normally goes out to the world around 180 degrees and to look inward, towards awareness watching awareness.
* Disconnected from external sense objects, the I-thought becomes unstable and retreats to the source and disappears.
* What remains is the Self!
- haltingproblem 6y agoI wish removing the ego was as simple as pulling a linguistic trick of dropping the "I" in a sentence or saying just dont think of the I.
