How does one maintain a sense of self and oneness with the universe at the same time? This may be obvious, but to contribute to one's fellow creatures in a sane and healthy way, one needs to be secure in one's self, one's ego needs to be intact. We speak about 'destroying' the ego--does that lead to destroying one's self?
One of the things I've seen mentioned in not only Evolver and Reality Sandwich, but also a lot of other forums is the idea that we should reimagine ourselves.
It is called the "Story of Self", the "Ego", I've heard "Mara" used once or twice. And according to many it has to go. It should be replaced with defining who you are as interdependant and not separate.
