EGOLESSNESS IS LETTING GO<br><br>
"Egolessness" does not mean that nothing exists, as some have
thought, a kind of nihilism. Instead, it means that you can let go of
your habitual patterns and then when you let do, you genuinely let go.
You do not re-create or rebuild another shell immediately afterward. Once
you let go, you do not just start all over again. Egolessness is having
the trust to not rebuild again at all and experiencing the psychological
healthiness and freshness that goes with not rebuilding. The truth of
egolessness can only be experienced fully through meditation
practice.<br><br>
From "The Meeting of Buddhist and Western Psychology," in THE
SANITY WE ARE BORN WITH: A BUDDHIST APPROACH TO PSYCHOLOGY, page
10.<br><br>
