I wasn't mistaken, just I couldn't remove the emotional and mental barriers that are inherent to human condition.

The reality was the same, just existing, but if you are immersed in the emotional human density it's not easy to make everything clear enough to be able to open yourself to the unlimited nature of everything . 

You were doing it all to yourself. But just as readily you can undo it and be whole. This is the work. There is no bad. And there is no good. These were imposed interpretation which blocked the luminous reality from shining forth. Correction is possible and available every moment.

Imo It's not as simple as saying you're causing your own closure. If you're a woman in Afghanistan and they sell you to an old man when you're 11 so he can lock you up at home and rape you, things get complicated. Reality is wild, nothing is guaranteed

The same pointless confused conversations again lol . Before deciding “we should eliminate the ego “ or “we should align the ego “ ..do you even know what the ego actually is ? 
the ego is your sense of “I” . Full stop .

the sense of I is real . The I itself is not real . 
so what are you going to align or deny ?

I know it’s hard (almost impossible)  for most people to wrap their minds around the notion that the ego itself doesn’t actually exist in physical reality . 
We can speak loosely about overcoming or weakening the ego by spiritual practice like meditation or fasting but in the ultimate Analysis it should be clear there is no ego in the most literal sense possible. The “I” is a thought instead of a physical entity . Whenever the thought “I” arises it comes delayed after the act happens and it claims ownership of thoughts and deeds . The body eats and breathes and sleeps and then the i-thought arises and claims dowership “I slept or I dreamt or I ate etc “
