Who Else wants to be Free of the Ego?

The ego likes to play games.
It hides behind a lot of things hoping that it won't be noticed. What it doesn't usually realize, however, is that we can pick it out from a mile away.
Anytime you find yourself statements of identity that's the ego.
Anytime you find yourself judging yourself or others that's the ego.
Anytime you feel superior or inferior, that's the ego.
Anytime you feel emotional pain, or seeking emotional pleasure, that's the ego.
Anytime you find yourself making statements like "I'm getting rid of the ego, what a good boy I am" that's the ego.
Basically the ego is very intimately tied up with conscious thought. It is very concerned with both right and left brain functions and the concept of time.
It loves to put labels on things, and judge whether those things are good or bad. That's basically it's job.
And it loves to take you out of the present moment to make those judgments.
If you ever watch yourself making judgments about things, labeling them good or bad, you're more often than not referencing a state of time. At that moment you are outside of the present moment.

Good news about the ego is that it's not so formidable as it seems. Both Crowley and the Buddha Sidartha thought that it was possible to do away with the ego with a very simple shift in awareness. It's just a matter of choice.

Like Eckhart Tolle says all you have to do is shift your mind from a state of thinking to a state of awareness. Just be aware of your surroundings without labeling them, without referencing your past experiences, or your future projections. Just settle into the present moment and appreciate pure awareness. It really is that easy.
Once you've found that odd state of being you can summon it whenever you like, and the more you do the less frequently you'll have to do it consciously.

In times when the ego would normally rear it's head, like times of anxiety or fear, all you have to do is acknowledge the ego, thank it for doing such a good job, and stay present and free from labels.

A couple little things that you can do to make it easier at first is to ask questions. The ego dissolves instantly when we start truly examining the situation in which it pops up. So the Meta Model of NLP or Byron Katie's inquiry process work really well for gaining some perspective on what's really going on.
