The ego has two parts, the “I” and the “me”
You live with a mental image of yourself
You see this when you say things like “my life”. Because it follows that my and life are two separate things. I and life are two, if I am separate from life, and I am separate from all things.
So there is no such thing as “my life,” I don’t have a life. I am life. I and life are one
Since I and life are one, how can I lose life? How can I lose something that I don’t have in the first place? How can I lose something that I am?
