ego: (sigh)…Mike, really…all this “ego dynamics” stuff is hard for people to click with. I mean, people want to develop the ‘self,’ not strip it away.
Mike: Well, maybe that’s the problem! Maybe if we had less ego involvement in the world, we wouldn’t be having all these problems in the world.
ego: Mike, Mike, Mike….You and I both know that I ain’t going anywhere. And that’s just as true for everybody else.
You can’t transcend the transcender…
Mike: Yea, I get that. But maybe we can have significantly less of you. Wouldn’t that be nice!
ego: So, then… if you had “less” of me... what would you be left with?
Mike: More of my “True Nature”!
ego: What’s that?
Mike: I like to think it’s my deeper self... minus you.
ego: But, how would you know it without me?
Mike: Good grief! It’s like I can’t do anything without you!
ego: Unfortunately, Mike, even trying to be without me... requires my assistance.

The poor sweet little ego is like some abandoned, ignored child...until perhaps it is seen that ego is this too.
