How can I destroy my ego (self)?

I’m glad you are aware that the ego has to be destroyed. Let me share my story.

I started meditating to clear my cluttered thoughts and emotional baggage so I could live at ease.

Following the guidance, I recalled my mind, reflected on it, and released it.

I was surprised to see how I was stuck inside my past. In each phase of my life, I could see my old self talking, complaining and suffering about things that had already passed.

I figured out why my mind was messed up and never quiet. I pitied my old self, reassured her that it was all over, and wished her to move from the past that no longer exists.

As I continued to meditate, I realized that she was not to be pitied. She will never budge because she is a dead consciousness. That is why I should force her out of my mind.

Since she occupied my mind, I couldn’t help but be affected by her; overthinking, moody, needy, and irritable. Not caring for her voice was as tricky as ignoring the stinky filth in a space. Like the best way is to get rid of the stinky filth out of the space, I just get to rid of her in my mind.

I desperately recalled all the minds involved and released them through the meditation practice. The more my old self disappeared in my mind, the easier it was for me to control my body and mind.

As the meditation practice deepened, I learned the uncomfortable truth. The human mind is deeply rooted in habits that are passed down from generation to generation. The main target is not my mere self who has lived until my age but a condensed human mind throughout human history: a ghost trapped in a human form, which has a lingering attachment to life. Therefore, it is not being able to return to the living spirit and soul, energy and light.

I knocked on the door of this meditation just to live my life at ease, but it was the door of Truth that transmuted humans to the spirit and soul of the Universe.

I mistakenly thought it would be a decent life if I work hard and get along well with people. I mistakenly thought that if I strongly believe in religion, I could be saved. I mistakenly thought that I am living of my own accord, but I have been being guided by the will of the Universe without a hitch.

To destroy the ego is not an option but a must. Hope everybody learns how to do it.
