The ego is the socially conditioned/programmed you. the ego is the you that’s lived this life before awakening. My journey has shown that the ego can be taught and guided (being your higher self) and killing it or attacking it or throwing it away is literally throwing that part of you away and it will come back to haunt you cause you’re only hurting yourself. (Aka the shadow comes out) My opinion of ego death is a cycle of death and rebirth that the ego finally understands that this negative thing or way of thinking just isn’t me, that i don’t need this anymore and being a better truer you and when it fully understands that it lets go of all these falsehoods and undergoes this euphoric transformation and is reborn and more aligned with your true consiousness/soul/heart. the ego can completely align to where there’s no serperation in self and that’s where the real transformation and awakening happens. At that point it’s not even an ego anymore just the real you.
