Dr David Hawkins wrote about 300 pages on the subject.

Eckhart Tolle keeps it simple and in away it is.
If we stay present in the NOW the ego cant exist, it needs past and future to survive.

Ive been fortunate to have been at two of his seminers and one weekend retreat at Findhorn. By an amazing coincidence he and Kim his partner were at the same small Bed and Breakfast and three of us share the breakfast table with them, a lovely humble person, very attentive to Kim, a gentleman.
We spent over an hour talking with them.
Thats my spiritual ego telling you this.

Be happy.

Great, thanks, you tied in my post to ego so nicely. I have not been to any of ET's seminars, but you are right, he keeps it simple. I just took that quote from a 2010 calendar newly purchased with quotes from ET and nature photographs by David Muench, an old family friend in Santa Barbara.I love seeing the connection of two I care about. What a treat for you to have had casual time with him. Your spiritual ego must truly enjoy its observations as much as mine does!

Am Happy,
Bushycat
