It's not about 'other', it's about ' your name here'. Always. Can you witness ego within yourself with objective clarity? Seems to me the only way ego can be witnessed is......by ego....its still you looking at you .True nature isn't witnessing an illusion , perception is pure, unfiltered, immediate, egoless. It's a no-brainer and there's a specific applicable self-inquiry .. who is it that sees the arising of ego in the other?

So all I was trying to convey in this thread is that there is a direct correlation between 'level' of Awareness and level of suffering. If there is vexation/suffering, that is indication of attachment/ego, no matter how much one tries to gloss it over after the fact. Roy, what do you mean by 'level' of awareness? Do you mean there is a baby awareness, then an adolescent awareness, an adult awareness and an old guy with a white beard awareness? Until one is unwaveringly rooted in/as Self-Awareness, such awareness will be intermittent. I suppose that the amount of time spent (the very appearance of time is...) wavering from focus on Self to focus on mind/body, would be what I mean by 'level'. When suffering is experienced, this is a clear sign that one's focus is away from Self. It is legitimate to use relative terminology such as 'level', 'growth', 'advancement', when speaking of/relating one's experience 'prior' to SR.

You are the only Being in your world. Everything is about your Awakening; nothing and no one else matters, because there is no one else. So who (is it that) cares if ego is seen in 'other'?

Another informative fact is the answer to the question of which one of us keeps introducing pronouns into this sub-thread about ego.
