Consciousness Knows Nothing of Ego

A man observes that during states of love, joy and awe, the mind knows it is consciousness yet maintains slight identification, asking if this represents a unification where ego accepts consciousness as true self. Rupert firmly rejects this, stating consciousness knows nothing of ego, which exists only from its own illusory perspective. Just as the actor John Smith remains himself throughout his performance as King Lear, consciousness remains untouched by ego’s temporary drama.
