Think one of the classic "death of the ego" stories comes from the "Power of Now"

Eckart Tolle shares in the book how life had got to the point that he could no longer live with himself. When that though arose the question also arose. I can no longer live with my self so are there two of me? A self that can no longer live with self?
At that point came a realization that he was not the miserable entity, a moment of fear followed and he remembered little of what came after that but when he awoke the whole world looked totally different. Peace had replaced turmoil, his mind was virtually silent.

We transcend ego and our world will look totally different, our perception will have altered.

Is it worth it to do what it takes to let go of ego?

I think so.

With love
Chris
