You bring up a good point, it's possible to detect in others, once I learned what to look for. The people mentioned
would not have been able to accomplish what they did had they been in ego driven consciousness.
They would not have been able to speak with such conviction about their beliefs because they would be to busy worrying about what others are going
to think of them for 1 thing.
I would be surprised if their ego didn't play at least a small role in their personal lives though.
Their motivations, like any mystic masters, were certainly not ego driven.
Learning to identify the way people act under ego is also a perfect way to detect charltons or false prophets.
I can name many but don't want to open that can of worms.

So instead of being attached to the thoughts & emotions that bring me to the conclusion that right & wrong have anything to do with anything, I am instead the awareness behind the thoughts & emotions.
Neutral, allowing, and free.

I agree, and from my experience a dishonest being can never hope to achieve
a relationship with that particular Awareness.

lol... hey... this is fun!
But your point is certainly true and well put.
Have fun and experience joy with everything you do.
Sometimes text won't come off that way.
I always loved these smilies because of that.
