If someone is having "enlightenment" experiences or is
stabilized as Self and talks about an ego, I don't
doubt their experiences, I just wonder what it is they
are referring to when they say "ego." When I say in
enlightenmernt that there is no ego what I mean is
that there is no subjective self. There is no "me".
The pronoun "me" or "I" doesn't refer to anything. The
mind looks for something and there is nothing there,
literally. In waking state the mind turns inward and
experiences a thought/feeling sense of an individual;
a private "me." This is what disappears in CC. There
is just consciousness and then everything else
(objective and subjective). You could say, "I am pure
consciousness", but the problem with this is that
there is no "I" to be or not to be anything. There is
just consciousness and objects that are not
consciousness. Thoughts and feelings are there, but
there is no "I" having these or taking ownership of
these subjective experiences.
