“(I was speaking with a friend who said, “zeroing out the ego helps”.)
My response:
But here’s the thing to keep in mind!
If you try to ‘zero out the ego’ you enter into a fight you cannot win!
That’s why PS has you build a largely NONVERBAL Ego.
It still fills the hole that you need an ego.
It just makes you transcendent instead of pain based.
It’s the greatest innovation of all in PS.
It’s what all humans have largely missed —Jesus, Buddha, PKD — all of them.
It’s just OBVIOUS.
Now with other systems, they accidentally fall into bits of the truth on this,
but it’s 100x easier to do it, if you consciously know that’s the central
cureall of the human condition.
If there’s one thing i want people to walk away from PS with, it’s this one
fact.
