Let go my ego! Hehehe.

I think that ego and spirituality are two opposing concepts. Ego allows us to define ourself as an individual entity whereas spirituality allows us to become one (undifferentiated)with all else.

Yes, I suppose that if one were to seek spirituality for the purpose of becoming a better person than we were before then the journey is naught but an ego trip.

I personally try to maintain harmony (yeah, I know, balance) between my ego and my spirituality. I am, afterall, at this point in time an individual identifiable thing that I call JimBob. I must take care of JimBob. My ego helps me do that. But, when I get to the point that I think that I am any better than any other creation in the universe then I have gone astray.

My ego deals with physical reality, my spirituality deals with my inner essence.

Peace & Love!
