Polarity

[anagogy]

Excellent. Thanks. How do you define "ego"? There are some schools which spoke of a multiple nature. The ego would be a lot of fragments or "I s" of someone. What is "ego death" on LOO context?

The ego is the belief in separation. Any distinction between inner and outer is accomplished through some type of mental acrobatics and this distortion is the ego (it acquires the sense of having a separate independent reality from that which is observes). I'm using it in more of the structural sense rather than in the "personality sense". I'm referring to the self that mentally pushed the inner and the outer perceptually away from one another (potentiated them), and then, generally, has forgotten that its own mental gymnastics were that which caused this scenario (when the loop of thought that generates the appearance becomes unconscious it makes the taboo all the stronger, and also, the trance that results from it (the new reality) all the more vivid and real as well). So the mental gymnastics which generate the sense of separation, or "taboo" (the line you don't cross), become  unconscious even to this mind. So the ego is the mind, because it is the mind that distinguishes differences, i.e. separation.

Ego death is when the distinction between inner and outer collapses. Subject and object collapse into one. Opening up intelligent infinity. The light floods in, the distortions are seen for what they are, and abandoned.
