That's very good you've made it pretty far my friend. I wouldn't suggest "hate" being something you want to have within you, it's detrimental to enlightenment. Focus on what you want to be, not what you don't want to exist. I'm only speaking from my buddhist perspective, but compassion is very helpful in removing the ego because it shifts the focus to the whole of existence and the entities therein, rather than the self. When you realize that the importance of others is the same as the importance of yourself, ego dies.

I'm sure you understand this though, I'm just suggesting one way of approaching the issue.

I see it more like.. Im not just fighting my own ego, even when free I'm probably going to have many who will conflict with me due to thier personal illusion, much like what happend to Jesus.
It's a mysterious issue, isn't it? Many enlightened beings know how to abolish the ego, how to be a force of possitive energy only, but nobody has yet managed to transform the rest of the world. As Buddha would say, souls need to mature, and many are unfortunately just not ready to ascend. I hope one day we all can, but I don't see it coming at this time.

I agree that I'm nowhere near humble in most posts, but if you were expeiencing truth it would not bother you in the least, therefore its just some more ego talking to me so fuck it. :stoned:
But, when one is completely humble, completely unmoved by praise or scorn, the learning can truly begin. This is actually a toaist concept that I love, but it seems 100% compatible with buddhist thought.

I know you're not buddhist, toaist, anything in particular really, but I'm just conveying the knowledge I've come to learn in my practices. Myself, while I follow the path of the Buddha and believe in his teachings, there is definately much to be learned from many belief systems. I'm particularily interested in Taoism, shamanism, hallucinogenic explorative techniques from the America's, Huna meditation, and bits and pieces of this and that.

I've yet to learn exactly how contemplative meditation would be done, do you have any knowledge in this?

I am putting up that sign, because your help is wanted. And you must apply within, meaning within yourself, by going within and discovering that ego, and then letting it go.
