Anamnesia
Rising Star
Ego death is a misnomer. There isn't anyone to die in the first place, nor is their any such ego to be suspended, because the real nature of the false sense of self is that of a mirage. Mirages appear real, you see them, and they can even seem frightening, but they can do you no harm, because in reality the mirage is just an illusion created out of avidya (not seeing, or ignore-ance). Once you realize the so-called ego is not real, you cease to stop trying to transcend it, because there is nothing in the first place to transcend. Then, when you see people all over the spiritual marketplace trying to sell techniques of meditation you are appalled, because meditation is now being sold as a method to go beyond the ego and the whole thing is phony. Meditation is what the fundamental nothingness is always doing and always has been doing and always will be doing and that's what you are. From the void we arise and dissolve. Just as in the nature of thoughts, love affairs, the rise and fall of civilization, the birth and death of species', the lifetimes of the stars, and even the whole universe. From the void all becomes form (information) and into the void all is dissolved. Again and again forever and ever. There is no ego, because there is in actuality no such thing as a separate cut-off being from the whole universe. That separate self is a total phantasm and has no reality. Because it is a pure hallucination, how can we say the ego has a beginning and an end? In this way there is no birth and no death. Through the gate of this realization is deathlessness. That is the true meaning of immortality. Realizing your true origin the concept of ego becomes obsolete and ridiculous. There is nothing more egotistical than meditating in order to go beyond your ego. Come off it already.
