In the land of "I know," there is always competitiveness, jealousy, pretence, pride and arrogance. It is an aggressive realm - the realm of the ego. I say refuse citizenship. In the land of "I don't know," the inhabitants move without conflict and are naturally quiet, happy and peaceful. The wise stay here.
Ego is a ghost who is terrified of dying.
Upon discovering truth, the natural love one has for oneself expands until it encompasses the whole world. This Love removes the ego.
You want to be free as the ego, but you need to be free FROM the ego. To be free from it is to understand its unreality.
Life cannot be against you, for you are Life itself. Life can only seem to go against the ego's projections, which are rarely the truth.
When one is without ego, one becomes immediately free of all personal judgements, and perceives life and the world with divine eyes and mind. Nothing is offensive to them and they remain in perfect serenity and peace always.
