There's no ego. This is one image like another. The suffering, the cataclysm, it's the beauty that you're looking for, it's joy that you're seeking. This is what can happen from the deepest part and it is what we constantly refuse to do because it cramps our image of ourselves, that we should be free from this, that we should no longer be like this. So we refuse all this constant aid, which is the only way to deeply liberate ourselves.
It's a bit like a tragic farce: we are constantly saying no to what can show us our limitations, to live in a hypothetical of wisdom, of freedom. So, above all, we don't want to see ourselves in fear, in uncertainty, especially not realizing that we know nothing, that we can't do anything. So we are constantly updating these opportunities to live in a spiritual image, to meditate, to become this and that, to be free from this and that. But one day we realize the mechanism; then change happens. We no longer seek to become anything, to avoid anything.
This is the end of all spiritual teaching, this is the beginning of spiritual life.
Can't have it both ways
