(As with most of these blog posts, this one is in response to a question. The question was what I recommend that someone do to deconstruct their ego.)
If I recommend anything at all, it is that people discover what they are and simply then be as they are. Everything else happens by itself.
You discover what you are by discovering what you are not. You are not anything perceivable or conceivable. Everything perceivable and conceivable appears and disappears within awareness.
Ego does not exist in and of itself. It has no self nature. It is not something we are but something we do. It is a construct of thought, consciousness and memory. That which wants to deconstruct the ego is the ego.
In simple presence, there is no ego.
There is only This.
