Excerpt: The ego is an illusion, so there can't be any "ego death" if there is no ego in the first place. This is so difficult to take in because it means giving up the romantic ideal that you are going to achieve something, like the "Hero's Journey". There is no Hero's Journey because there is no hero, and there is nowhere to journey, because not only is the ego an illusion but all of this is an illusion, it is all created by the mind, it's an hallucination. And because of that there is no journey to anywhere, except perhaps the realization of that fact. (Event: Ego Death and Divine Rebirth, Retreat. Recorded on the evening of Sunday, April 1, 2012.)
