Godliness state as in becoming God like or Godliness as in closest to your God? I strongly suggest take what the Saints have done and astral project to him up in heaven.

Why would you want to get rid of your ego (if that's even possible)?

Unfortunately this is only the smallest part of the answer. What is stopping me is the 'I' stuff I have forgotten or never even recognized as 'I'. Nine tenths of the stopping is found there.

That is the reason why these endless repetitions of "you are already there" and "there is nothing to be done" have no effect. They just keep us from starting what needs to be done and there is plenty to do.
There is nothing you can do to realize your true being, if anyone gives you a belief system their your enemy, who is going to realize who you truly are, your mind body ?.

(Modern) Spiritualism - yes folks this is that forum - teaches that it will take many lifetimes of many kinds to reach god. There is no fast way and hence no way is fastest.

Many will feel they have "the fastest way" but illusion is all part of that process. Perhaps in a similar way to climbing a mountain, the higher we climb the more we realise that there is still a way to go....

Unlike climbing a mountain, though, we may realise how high we still have to climb spiritually to reach the godhead only after we reach the first peak - the one we thought was the summit.

Spiritualism teaches much about the nature of the worlds which follow the physical and the nature of god.

I am pleased to see so many recent converts posting in this forum.

welcome

to dissolve the illusion around you. self awareness is the ego. being aware of the self in an illusion, the material reality. minus the self and you have god awareness. i dont think you can get rid of ego completely wile having a body. i suppose you would just separate from the body.

i guess i would say that reaching god is reaching enlightenment.

Don't wast your time trying to dissolve an illusion, you just can't so you may as well surrender to what IS, but the joke is there's no one to surrender.

There's only one way to reach-out to God and that's to forget wun-ness, is-ness and the rest of it. Get out there, make your compassion for all suffering beings a reality, and add to the whole. Accept your lot and do the very best that you can, not for you but for others within your selfishness. And the biggie.....Give love. Selfless LOVE.
