Interesting what videos can appear in one's feed. I think your's appeared because of the title, "the illusion of ego." At least that's what grabbed my attention. Here's something interesting, the Latin "ego" translates to the English "I." So to put the whole statement in English it is "the illusion of I." What if the "I," our most sacred sense of self, of "me" and "mine" is in fact an illusion, a mere hallucinated sense of self and other, subject and object, in essence, a feeling of division, of something that is missing. What if the "I" is the dream and when the dream ends so does the "I"? No one wakes up because there was no one there to begin with. That's definitely a very unpalatable idea for most humans, the idea that there sense of being someone is a mere mirage of a feeling, that "you," that "I," that no one actually exists. Take all that or leave it, regardless, what I was most moved by in your video is your vulnerability in what you share about your life, and your authenticity in how you share, and your clear passion in finding your way, and finding the truth. I wish you the best on your journey which, as T.S. Eliot says, is "to arrive where we began and know the place for the first time," or something to that effect. And I'll add, maybe what we most long for is our own absence, where all that remains is THIS, a THIS that defies the duality of words, a THIS that knows no self or other, no "me" or "you," no before or after, no here or there, nowhere a seam that divides what always only can ever be wholeness, a place where the scalpel of the mind cannot find even the tiniest solidity to cut the undivided into two. No yin. No yang. Nothing. Just THIS that is forever beyond the reach of the conceptualizing mind. 😊
Thanks so much for your comment. It's certainly a topic that is inexhaustible and "I" find great fascination swimming about in its concepts. I know deep inside a wordless place in myself that I am formless and that my ego/ identity/ form in this world is just a temporary vehicle of expression. I've found a true home in the "place where I began" as you mentioned.. I've always felt a knowing of where I've come from and a knowing that this reality is a mere shadow compared to the truth of the essence of THIS. Thanks again for your words and for watching🌀✨
Ego is whatever we do in repetition and validation until the repetition is distinguishable as difference. You look like an ENFP, have you heard the term?
Yes I have! If you met me in person you certainly wouldn't guess E haha. I've done the test many times and got INFJ and INFP I definitely relate to both!
Nice video 💯
