yeah but just because an identity exists doesn't mean that's what you totally are...the fact that you become aware of an identity as such is already a step in the right direction. and i have found that as the process continues there will definately be moments when no sense of a 'person' is there at all...it's really a very natural feeling.
and then there's times when you still intuitively feel like an individual, but experientially actions are just occurring, almost like you aren't exercising any control over them, and that too is like ego death because it shows you just how little control the ego actually has. going with the cosmic flow ~~~

alright, that's a good book...wasn't challenging anybody's wisdom with my post honestly. i was simply asserting that in addition to what you said, one can come into a feeling where the identity is not so predominant. and that is a good thing, it's a liberating feeling.
