Default Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?

What David Hawkins said gels with my subjective imagery or truths. Also Buddha did not quite say "suffering", but more closely translated as "separation". Right about detachment, more technically the unfixing of polarities and their degraded games. Take the compulsion out of everything.

For example, I can still eat, but the compulsions surrounding eating are almost non-existent, and it is even more so neither good nor bad, simply a preference (or not).

It's late and maybe that's why I can't quite see the connection between ego and removing compulsions or fixations, dualities/polarities.

Morning early swan 4.44 am here.
Ego is desire. Wanting-ness that is never satisfied -- give me more
enlightenment is a desire-less state. However anything wholesome would be enjoyed.
yet if consumption was interrupted there would be no desire to resume.
DH says yes there are polarities ie North and south but they are not opposites till we say so. Hot and cold are different graduations on a temperature scale.

Evil is the absence of Love.

You are doing great my friend.

With Love
