Hi Deoxyan

First of all, great thread. I think the Bronte Baxter (Splinter in the mind) blog is very thought provoking.

Before commenting, I thought I would try to find a good definition of what I think the ego is being defined as:
http://www.kriyayoga.com/english/encyclopedia/ego.htm

But, after reading that I feel that the ego helps us translate our earthly experiences to our spiritual plane and I feel that is needed for balance. I need my heart (soul) and my mind (ego) to function as a whole person. It is all about balance in the here and now; before we can even get close to the Divine within.

Unconditional Love and Oneness are the product of a balanced human experience and being that we don't yet reside in the ethereal world, how can we ascertain that balance without the mind (ego)?

It is all very ponderous and I know just enough not to be inflexible in my opinion.
