The problem ego imposes is that it separates us from others. Ego still serves a functional purpose for the brain. Ego is like an application of evolution that enabled us to become the society that we are today, but it has now become cumbersome and outdated due to further progress. The ego is self serving and inherently fearful. With meditation, cognitive awareness and holistic responsibility, we TRANSCEND the mundane ego and realize connection with the All, the universe,or nothing, or whatever you want to call it but a fucking Christian God.
You come off as nihilistic when you say that without ego, there is no mind. There is more to life than your own petty thoughts of it. You are right in saying there is nothing, but that is a necessary aspect of something.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
