Quote:The pure consciousness - without ego - is nothing - no thoughts, feelings, judgments, emotions - nothing.
Many Buddhists would disagree,arguing the death of ego results in pure awareness ,Nirvana (Samadhi for Hindus)
Me? I think ego is probably a product of mind,which in turn is merely the dynamic of the living brain. However, I don't actually know,so am unable to assert what is or is not IS the case. I'll be thrilled to see your definitive proof.
