You're welcome for the comment, question and resteem.

Thanks for trying to answer. :)
It seems like me and you have some interesting common interests but also quite different ideas on things, which is not necessarily surprising but it does provide for a good back and forth I think!

I'd like to respond that I don't think ego is evil and I don't think it's possible to totally separate from, I think ego is a perception of self and that I'm not sure how life would work if we didn't have some kind of perception of self? Everything it seems like would kind of just blur together if there wasn't separation.

Know thyself, from my perception, refers to knowing what you are and not who you are.

I sort of see "who" and "what" synonymously in this case, however, lemme rephrase then... Instead of asking who you are, let me ask.. What are you at the deepest level or whatever level you feel okay answering about?
