 i mean theres people in psychosis and you say there&amp;#39;s no ego evolution, so isn&amp;#39;t it psychosis or enlightenment?  these intoxicated anxiety experiences really make me feel like i have a serious psychological disorder....  &amp;#39;anxiety experience&amp;#39; doesn&amp;#39;t do justice to the extreme fucked-upness of the situations...  i could see how it might be going on all the time, but its more suppressed and easier to deal with when sober... also, disassociating from egocentric care kind of seems like one of those things like &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#39;do nothing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;become choiceless&amp;quot; that so called&amp;quot;enlightened masters&amp;quot; (i use sarcasm but part of me believes there are enlightened people) say to do that they make out to seem so simple to just snap your fingers and do, but is fucking impossible and doesn&amp;#39;t help at all in the never ending search to get outttt.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3719024566754743654/22220163028030868/comments/default/2725330610561501118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3719024566754743654/22220163028030868/comments/default/2725330610561501118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.peacefulself.com/2012/01/egos-dont-evolve-they-die.html?showComment=1327049898164#c2725330610561501118' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.peacefulself.com/2012/01/egos-dont-evolve-they-die.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719024566754743654.post-22220163028030868' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3719024566754743654/posts/default/22220163028030868' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-2017819075'/></entry></feed>
