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

Chaos @chaosprimeincidentally, i've learned that erowid types have appropriated/polluted the concept of ego death so as to map the phrase to psychedelic experiences of oneness with the universe or whatever the fuck. this is wrong. that kind of experience could result in ego death but need notShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

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.

It was also clear that, if you ever meditated, it did nothing for you. You never got far enough to realize the insubstantiality and impermanence of the self. You actually believe it exists, and you dismissed the idea that it differs from moment to moment.

And it seems very, very doubtful you have achieved dhyana, let alone samadhi. If you had, you would know what it is like to have the ego broken to bits.

but if somebody on the ground reached for me to help them up, then it turned out they wanted me to try to pull them up so they could prove how strong they were in clinging to the ground, that shit would get real old real fast
