I want to really emphasize the death of the egos today, so that you get the technique right. I'll take some questions now, if you have any.
Does this silence mean that you actually know how to practice the death? You know the technique, is that right?
Audience: Yes
Belzebuub: Alright. While we're talking now, apply it, can you do that? How often are you having to apply it?
Q: Constantly
Belzebuub: Why constantly?
Q: Because they're coming up.
Belzebuub: Have you been spotting the egos that have been coming up?
Q: Something's distorting it, trying to be aware.
Belzebuub: Ah, but thought, the chain of thought can do that.
Q: Sometimes I feel something subtly there, and I'm trying to attack it, but I don't really have the stability for it, and I'm trying to apply the death, apply the death, and I don't really see where I'm going, and as I'm doing the death I sort of get worried by this ego if I can't destroy it, I know, then I almost feel like identified with this ego I'm trying to kill but I don't even really see what I'm trying to get rid of.
Belzebuub: Yesterday, we looked at that stillness. If you have that as the point you want to get to, the point that is without the egos, then you see that everything else, every state, is an ego. Then you have a point which you are fighting for, or fighting to get to. So then, if you’re confused, is it stillness? Is that stillness confusion?
Q: No, not stillness, no.
Belzebuub: Right. So what is that confusion?
Q: Egos.
Belzebuub: Right, so, in itself, it's an ego, which you apply the death to. So you get to that stillness, that stillness is the correct state to be in.
Q: Yes.
Belzebuub: You see, we can apply the death and carry on thinking, we can apply the death and be confused, but we've got to have that goal, that understanding of what it is we're trying to get to. What we're trying to get to is stillness. Where the egos are absent, even if it's for a moment.
