Spirit of Light
Be who ever you want
As a Cultivator of buddha dhamma a part of the path is to let go fully of ego/selfI basically agree.
There's a distinction that can be drawn between one who is an aspirant and one who has realized. The aspirant aspires to continuous unconditional love. The one who has realized experiences nothing but unconditional love.
I'll answer the question for myself: the ego can be conceptualized approximately as a cocoon or a veil if you like. It's something that is necessary and useful at one stage. But when it's time is over, the "butterfly" "breaks out" to live what it has become.
