I have tried reading some Krishnamurti and as you say it is rather difficult to read. Especially because I was reading an English version when English is not my first language.

I just started reading 'The Power of Now' and I must say it is more than interesting. Thank you for the recommendation.

This is actually a basic meditational practice recommended by people like Ram Dass and Eckhart Tolle.

Keep an objective and non-judgmental narrative going, like "He is hungry." "He is eating." "He is pooping." etc.

I like to add theme music that goes with what I'm doing...




He's right. It's a great idea and it's been around. I added the bold to "Ram Dass". Whoever it was in this thread that said all teachers are saying this same point in their own way is also dead on. The point is not to "erase your ego" but to not identify with it.

one way of disidentifying with your ego is to learn new things. for example, you can't call yourself a painter until you've painted something. what you identify yourself as has just expanded from this experience. the ego shrinks and the more flexible creative part of you expands. probably important to let it flow through you and not have a preconceived idea of what you are doing - like dancing. just my 2 cents.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

this thread is weird b/c lately more and more i have these moments when im not myself but i feel like im viewing myself through whoever is in the vicinity. it freaks me out, but i have a feeling it's a good thing.

He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

well when i became conscious of everything i do, i eventually kinda lost myself. I tend to adapt to suit other people. But i also have these days when im really close to being my old self, and i get kinda rude. Im working on fixing that for good though.

one way of dis-identifying with your ego is to learn new things.

I'm not sure if this is true but it sure is good to keep the ego balanced and healthy.
