I think that you are correct.... just my opinion Never the less, what does seem abundantly clear is that the human animal has almost exclusively lived in social groups... which would not be true if our species did not naturally have a collective mind set _________________________ "It's not a lie if you believe it." -- George Costanza The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. --Bertrand Russel

Is not the ego the illusion of individuality? Ever notice how much we share this illusion?

Greger Pooh-Bah Registered: 11/24/06 Posts: 13757 Loc: Florida	Quote: Is not the ego the illusion of individuality? Is the ego the illusion of reality? Or is the ego the very definition of reality? You have a source to back up this unusual concept? Wiki says: Quote: In spirituality, and especially nondual, mystical and eastern meditative traditions, individual existence is often described as a kind of illusion. This "sense of doership" or sense of individual existence is that part which believes it is the human being, and believes it must fight for itself in the world, is ultimately unaware and unconscious of its own true nature. I don't give much credence to "mystical and eastern meditative traditions" _________________________ "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."— Oscar Wilde
