Isn't that what certain Eastern schools of thought advocate? To unite with the world, liberate from your ego, accept yourself as nothing more but a wave in the vast ocean of consciousness?
- ca98am79 12y agoThis is a good question. Just my two cents, but he says it is a "very dark place" which I assume means bad. If so, then there must be some resistance or dissatisfaction with his situation (not that I blame him). I think Eastern schools of thought advocate something similar (i.e. allowing your self/ego to vanish) but with complete acceptance of how things are, which leads to peace.
