	Encyclopedia: Egolessness
		Egolessness is a concept sometimes studied in psychology, for a emotional state where one feels no ego (or self); of having no distinct being apart from the world around oneself.
		Thus "egolessness" may simply be the Western psychological term for a psychosis that resembles this apparent schism.
		One would say that a person is "egoless" when he or she feels or acts in a way that suggests that the self is irrelevant (regardless of whether the act or attitude had any benefit to self or others).

	Buddhist Psych 1: Egolessness
		Egolessness is the most subtle of the three marks, revealing itself only through meditation.
		Egolessness refers to an "ego" that does not translate directly to Western psychological or philosophical concepts of "ego" or "I".
		The Buddha's teaching on egolessness is a unique concept in the world, not subject to western psychological ideas of "ego." What the Buddha taught is not that there is no self, that there is no person there experiencing existence.

	Egolessness and Detachment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		If you find yourself feeling egoless, develop the opposite quality, which may feel like selfishness, all those energies of "I want this," "I want to go there," and "I don't want THAT." This could be called your preference structure, or your passion.
		Attachment and Detachment, Ego and Egolessness, are two of many paired opposites that need to be balanced in your life.
		And it is not up to you, or to your friends, to decide whether you need your ego reduced or not, any more than you should arbitrarily decide that you need your thyroid levels reduced, your blood pressure reduced, or your brain waves slowed.

		Egolessness becomes the most desirable attainment possible, for it protects us from everything we wish to avoid and grants us unalloyed and permanent peace of mind.
		Egolessness, then, is simply a shorthand description for the illusion that we can escape an overarching concern with ourselves.
		In between the extremes of absolute egolessness and pervasive egoism lie a whole range of interpretations about what it means to cultivate an egoless existence.

	Guira Ego
		In the communicative sense, the ability to be flexible between two language personas lauded by Guiora, requires a cultivation of this strength and definition of language ego that implies an evolutionary change,while many theorists might view the language ego as a construct which is somewhat solid or discardable.
		The implication is that the language function we now posit as language permeability, egolessness process, is a psycho-linguistic device which must be properly nurtured in order for it to evolve to include both L1 and L2 functions.
		The upshot of the posited view of ego permeability and egolessness process is that enumerated, predicted, possible behaviors of the L2 learner can focus the teacher in addressing and assisting the evolutionary changes occurring to any student's language ego.

		It is important to understand that egolessness does not mean that there is no self in general, only that there is no permanent and substantial self.
		Because egolessness implies that there are no unchanging and permanent characteristics, then to discriminate on characteristics that do not permanently exist, like gender, would be foolish.
		Complete egolessness is necessary to attain Enlightenment, or Nirvana, which is the ultimate goal of Buddhism.

	Big Lankavatura
		By the egolessness of things is meant that the elements that make up the aggregates of personality and its objective world being characterised by the nature of maya and destitute of anything that can be called self-substance, are therefore un-born and have no self-nature.
		When true egolessness of things and persons is understood, discrimination ceases to assert itself; the lower mind-system ceases to fuction; the various Bodhisattva stages are followed one after another; the Bodhisattva is able to utter his ten inexhaustible vows and is anointed by all the Buddhas.
		Having gained a thorough understanding of the mind-system, the three self-natures, the twofold egolessness, and established himself in the measure of self-realisation that goes with that attainment, all of which may be gained by his right-knowledge, the way will be clear to the Bodhisattva’s further advance along the stages of Bodhisattvahood.

		Egolessness is a state of mind that has complete confidence in the sacredness of the world.
		When egolessness arises, we can recognize it as egolessness—a fresh moment, a clear perception of a smell or a sight or a sound, a feeling of opening to emotions or thoughts rather than closing off into our narrow limited selves.
		Egolessness is available all the time as freshness, openness, delight in our sense perceptions.

		The educational center, although characterized by its unique Buddhist philosophy, geared to be nonsectarian and open to all.
		Egolessness basically means the awareness of the "self"; the realization that the self is not solid, but rather continuously in process, and is a way to the development of a free and liberated way of being.
		In the effort to be a part of the struggle for peace, Volition will conduct a major event that will take place once a year and will last a month.

	A Buddhist Bible: The Lankavatara Sutra: Chapter VI. Perfect Knowledge, or Knowledge of Reality
		By the egolessness of things is meant that the elements that make up the aggregates of personality and its objective world being characterised by the nature of maya and destitute of anything that can be called ego-substance, are therefore un-born and have no self-nature.
		By the egolessness of persons is meant that in the aggregates that make up personality there is no ego-substance, nor anything that is like ego-substance nor that belongs to it.
		Perfect-knowledge belongs to the world of the Bodhisattvas who recognise that all things are but manifestations of mind; who clearly understand the emptiness, the un-bornness, the egolessness of all things; and who have entered into an understanding of the Five Dharmas, the twofold egolessness, and into the truth of imagelessness.

	Egolessness
		Without understanding the egolessness of existence, it is not possible to gain a real understanding of the Buddha-word; and it is not possible without it, to realize that goal of emancipation and deliverance of mind proclaimed by the Buddha.
		He who does not understand the egolessness of existence, and who is still attached to Ego-illusion, such as one cannot comprehend and understand the four Noble Truths of the Buddha in the true light.
		Therefore, wherever the doctrine of the egolessness of all existence is rejected, there the Buddha's word is rejected, But wherever, through penetration of the egolessness of all existence, the ego-vanity has reached ultimate extinction, there the goal of the Buddha's teaching has been realized, namely: freedom from all vanity and the highest peace of Nibbana.

	Nine Qualities of the 'Enlightened' Being, Part 4: the Enneagram, by John Fudjack
		The inflation that the Eight is susceptible to (in identifying with the divine, the whole, the 'Self') calls for a compensatory 'deflation', a move toward the 'egolessness' of the Two, or the dispassionate observing of the Five.
		The 'formless' points are Four (which focuses on emptiness of the object), Two (with its focus on egolessness, or emptiness of the subject), and Six (which dis-integrates subject-object frameworks, dissolving them into formlessness).
		In Buddhist psychology form and formlessness (in objects), power and egolessness (of the self), and harmony and chaos (in the 'illusion' that is the world) are delicately balanced.

		Personally I remember a clearly egoless secular experience: the process of finishing a manuscript was experienced as that which existed, and when this process was finally completed, an experience like throwing up occurred as the beginning of the reappearance and separation of the manuscript and I as two entities.
		In contrast, an egoless experience of the world (perceived or conceived) is still a conscious experience and avoids the dichotomy between the material and the mental.
		Egolessness and nothingness are also important elements of Jewish mysticism, both as direct experience and in the conception of the world..

		Lifestyles of communal ownership (no individual property) and the "vow of poverty" in many monastic traditions may also be intended to make selflessness easier to maintain; that its practitioners may continuously remain in a mative state of mind.
		In some forms of mation in Asian religions, egolessness is a mental state that is sought after.
		While at the basic levels, mation is geared toward relaxation, the practice of advanced mators may be aimed toward the purpose of dividing one from their awareness of "self," to a certain degree, and for a certain time.

	Egoless Means More (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		But egolessness does not mean the absence of a functional self (that's a psychotic, not a sage); it means that one is no longer exclusively identified with that self.
		One of the many reasons we have trouble with the notion of egoless is that people want their egoless sages to fulfill all their fantasies of saintly or spiritual, which usually means dead from the neck down, without fleshy wants or desires, gently smiling all the time.
		But egoless does not mean less than personal, it means more than personal.

		However, by cultivating an affective understanding of egolessness, we realize that this overwhelmingly intense attachment is to a hypothetical entity, impermanent, constantly changing, and completely uknownable.
		In this respect, the morality of egolessness is a dialectical, relative morality, with individuals cultivating one quality while rejecting its definitional opposite.
		Gautama's relative morality of egolessness is therefore analogous to the dialectical, relative morality of ethico-legal personhood and the socio-legal world in which it exists.
