Every spiritual reality can be described in many different ways. I often write about the necessity of ego removal, for example, and I always describe how it implies that we should get rid of egoism and egocentrism in our lives. But just as well I could describe this principle as the necessity to 'untangle' the soul. For the ego is not a seperate entity that suddenly 'overtakes us' or 'gets a hold of us' and like a little inner devil attaches our existence to temptation and desire. The ego isn't an 'evil inner spirit' that tries to blind or limit our 'good soul' as much as it can.
