LOL con???

The teachers tell you that this self must be thrown away there's no "con" its up to you if you want it or not.

Yes you throw away this perception of "yourself", but this perception of yourself is not real, it is why we all suffer internally struggling with ourselves and our identities, we identify with objective reality, we all know theres something more but we dont know what...this personality/ego is just a false impression of separateness that we hold to be true, thus we come into suffering.

Humans beings have been designed so they can look within and get rid of this false impression/delusion, getting rid of it means you see reality which is bliss, joy, unconditional love & compassion for all.

This is why (almost) all the prophets taught selflessness, getting rid of selfishness and finding the love that lies beneath it all, the unconditional love of god.

"This is such a con! I want my misery back!!!"
