Ego is that it’s the structure in your brain that gives a “person” identity. It serves a very practical purpose for physical interaction of humans. Bashing your Ego is just a movement of “negativity” in you, it’s not spiritual or “pure”. It’s just a negative pattern, and if you sense it you will know that it’s just “violence” within you. When you truly become rooted in the truth of your being, you will not find any problem with your Ego and you will allow it to play the “practical” part that it’s supposed to play in the movement of physicality. What is needed is that you stop identifying yourself as the Ego, and know yourself to be the “wholeness” or pure consciousness and then allow the Ego to do its part in the play of physicality.
