The Ego has Usurped the Position of the Absolute

Sunday 17 July 2022

What 'I' Disappeared?

A man shares that he lost his sense of ‘I’, with nothing to anchor. He asks, ‘What “I” disappeared?’ Rupert suggests that the separate self or ego didn't really disappear because there is no such entity. When the ‘I’ disappears, it is an illusion that disappears. King Lear doesn't know John Smith. John Smith knows John Smith. What he lost was the illusion of being separate.
