The ego cannot be annihilated

We cannot annihilate the ego; it is indestructible

However, we can expand it; like a piece of rubber it can be stretched until it becomes transparent.

If it is not stretched, it is opaque, and light cannot shine through, but when it is stretched sufficiently, it assumes a clarity whereby the full light of the “Kingdom of Heaven” within can shine through the individual self.  The window is spotless, and the light shines though in full force.

The light is so powerful that the glass is not even noticed, and yet it still exists.  Living as an individual being, one can find within oneself the real “I” – the real Kingdom of Heaven.  And, although there are still individual limitations, one can live in that silence, peace, and joy of the universe.
