And in dhyana or samadhi, that sense of self goes poof while conscious.

the ego disappearing in deep sleep is your deal, not mine. i don't think it "disappeared" any more than it did while you were watching a movie, any more than Chrome uninstalls itself from your computer when you're not running it

Are you seriously claiming that you are self-conscious in deep sleep, while I am not?

you're going keep aggressively not getting the difference between inactive and nonexistent no matter how many times i restate it, aren't you

Correct, because it's not a meaningful difference. You are claiming the ego still exists during deep sleep, insisting on it in fact, but have offered no evidence to support that claim. Instead, you're insinuating that I am just being difficult.

Well, aren't you? You say the ego still exists, but is inactive. Can you honestly say that you can support that statement?

sure i mean, i guess. does your memory of your first kiss stop existing when you aren't remembering it? does your knowledge of how to ride a bicycle stop existing when you aren't riding a bicycle? qed dunno why you seem to think i need to prove you should buy something here

That first kiss is a memory, and no longer exists in the sense that the table beside me exists. By that analogy, you're tacitly admitting the ego ceases to exist.

are you trying to win something here by making me roll my eyes so hard i damage my optic nerves maybe idk, the way you keep talking past me to try to argue with someone who isn't here makes me suspect you think i'm talking about the 'ego death' psychedelics evangelists refer to

What you describe here is permanent. It's the first question I asked. And, when you said a new ego grew back immediately, it was certain you were talking about something you have never experienced.
