makes more sense to me. i was reading this gnostic book, forgot the title, about killing the ego. it seems abhorrent to me, killing something which is a part of you. Originally Posted by regnauld

it's just a metaphor sir. no actual killing included. it's just like destroying your ego or swallowing your pride, so to speak. Originally Posted by miyay
