Egolessness is a flexible identity...
[E]golessness is a flexible identity. It manifests as inquisitiveness, as adaptability, as humor, as playfulness. It is our capacity to relax with not knowing, not figuring everything out, with not being at all sure about who we are, or who anyone else is, either.~Pema Chodron

The highest level. Of compassion. And egolessness. IMO.

Sex is not just physical—it could be meditative. If two (or more) people are deeply present during intimacy, they can experience a moment of egolessness, which is similar to meditation.

Guilt and shame around sex are artificially created, that prevent people from living authentically and joyfully.

In medieval times, komusō or "emptiness monks" used the shakuhachi [bamboo-flute] as a spiritual tool. Their songs called "honkyoku" were considered meditation (suizen).

They wore wicker baskets (tengai 天蓋) over their heads, a symbol of their egolessness & world detachment.

This is probably the best 'definition' of what egolessness looks like I have come across.

Julian Champagnie on Devin Vassell's all-around play:

“He's been great for us. He's been super diligent, attentive to detail...Playing defense, rebounding, blocking shots. He's just doing everything to help the team win. He's helping us with his egolessness."

This analyzing knowledge that establishes all phenomena to be emptiness is called discerning intelligence. The continuing knowledge, which uninterruptedly definitively decides samsara and nirvana to be the great emptiness, is called the intelligence realizing egolessness.

Luke's secluded life on Ahch-To is just like Hirayama's Perfect Days. Worrying about the past or future of the galaxy is nothing but worldly desire. Ultimately letting go of the body and reaching a state of egolessness. It's precisely Zen.

The beginner’s point of view is to realize nonexistence, to understand nonexistence, and to experience nonexistence. It is very important for us to realize that sight, smell, colors, emotions, formlessness, and form are all expressions of no-beginning, nonexistence, egolessness.

Why are there 9 people on a panel??

And not just that, but 9, mostly white, guys?

If they don’t have the judgment to realize how stupid this looks,

or the egolessness to say, “9 people is too many, I’ll sit this one out,”

how can we trust them to build this extraordinary technology??

Egolessness is when you step outside and the sunset is really crazy and everyone starts texting eachother pictures of the sunset and going woah have you seen these clouds. This light. The sky is a dying hearth on a cold night. Everything is as pink as the womb. This is cool as fuck

Egolessness is contentment.

If only we could bring that egolessness to Wicker Park
