☯ Death of the Ego

No two seekers are alike. 

Many people share similarities, but everyone's path is unique, and for guidance to be effective, everyone needs to be met where they are in consciousness.

One of the road blocks I encountered along the path was speaking to people who unwittingly had a "one size fits all" coaching or mentoring style. I found that a great many well-known spiritual teachers and gurus do.

There is only one destination, but infinite experiences of getting there.

When "you" realize there is no you, the ego, which is like a deep hypnotic trance, ends, or evaporates. All is seen as impersonal, and the mind no longer creates a separate person who exists within a life experience. You become aware that you are the entire experience this apparently separate "you" has been appearing to live!

Your body seems separate from the rest of the world, but there has to appear to be something other than you in order for a "you" to be identifiable or defined.

This realization is the only "end of time" there is.
