Measure how big is your ego

[Enlightenment]

Sit in a straight posture, put your attention on the sensations of the breath at the nostrils, see how it goes for 45 minutes:

 

Generally speaking 

You've been forgetting the breath and/or falling asleep - high ego

You did not forget the breath even once, posture was slumping sometimes, more or less distractions/dullness but breath always somewhat in awareness - medium ego

Effortlessly sustained laser-like attention on the breath and powerful awareness accompanied by joyful energy - low ego 

Same as before + strong equanimity, possibly with moments of perfect equanimity (Nibbana) - lowest ego, you're full of love at that point

It doesn't have to do with ego, it's just concentration skills...      COPE

What is Ego in the fist place, what is beyond concepts about Ego? How we dissolve the Ego? It is something physical too.

Thank you for sharing the excercise.

This is ridiculous. There's no such thing as "ego".

I don't think the breath thing is that important.

I can feel my whole body energy + visual field of awareness + mind 90/95% of the time of the day without the breath being noticed.
Don't even need to focus on the breath to stay conscious when mindfuckery is "taking over".

Unless you mean it's just part of the whole thing, but specifically focusing on it I would tend to disagree as a general rule.
