Yes, but you have to ask yourself if one's "ego" is like a flesh-eating virus inhabiting one's skin. My answer is that it is not, and to hold such a viewpoint of one's own mental conditioning is not beneficial or healthy.
I see obstructions on our awareness as mental phenomenon that dissolves in the light of reality. We become more aware by transcending our mental conditioning that seperates our awareness from our direct perception. I hold this viewpoint because it is reflective of the nature of reality, not because it is an abstract analogy. It has effective predictive value, and regards the aspects of ourselves that need to be transcended from a neutral vantage point. To do otherwise would be to associate our identity with that which we seek to transcend, which strengthens these aspects, since our natural desire to continue to live works agansit transcendence of these aspects we have now invested identity within.

yeah i have to agree, but not matter how much you try you cant strip your ego unless your ego is like a screw and you stripped it and now you cant screw it in any more. and in that very case the screw needs to be melted down and remade so it can function again. to ever be fully conscious one needs a strong ego now the thing i think lsd and the whole pyschedelic mind does isnt destroys egos but gives your ego more play with other egos and lets eachother share in each other more. or something of that such. I would call it kinda of a group mind but your always your self even if your yourself and others as one

I think maybe the better question is, "What have we NOT done so far with our consciousness that we are capable of....?" Where is it that you see our consciousness taking us that we don't already go....?
