' Look for it '...

Self-centered thought makes reference to an assumed self that stands apart from awareness.

This notion is the ego or "I" thought. But is this concept true? Examine it and you will find it is a false notion.

There is no "I" standing apart from awareness. So everything the mind refers to about a false self (the one who needs to progress, etc.) is false.

The purpose of spirituality is to see what you are, and also to drop or release the belief in the assumed separate person or ego.

How to dissolve the ego? Look for it.

Since it is not present, this looking will dissolve the belief in its reality.

You remain as you are and always have been, pure presence-awareness itself.

You are that here and now. Just confirm this basic fact.
