Everything is "God" and "not God" at the same time. You pick up a rock, and you recognise it to be a part of the vastness of God. Yet, you don't worship the rock as God.

The subconscious is the same. The ego is also the same, what we call conscious.

When you see someone trying to "Kill the Ego" you see someone who has not understood.

You see, for God to be Everything he must also be Nothing. Both God and Not God.

Only that is truly everything. And why we are here, so small and seemingly powerless in the vastness of space. We know we are part of God, but God, being Everything and all-powerful must be powerless also.

That's us. Powerless. Small.

But it means that you can trust the all-powerful as you trust yourself. And there's a beauty, and a peace, in that.

You become powerful by giving up all your agency to that.

That is what "Killing the Ego" truly means. Not a violent death. A soft surrender. It never meant you stop being who you are.

It is a lovers embrace, where two become one. Where you become yourself more fully.

That is the Divine Union so many spiritual traditions speak of.

Trust.

Yourself.
