How can ego be unnatural when all humans naturally have it?

Think. How did an ego come to exist? Does it even really exist? Is there any reality in it?
I beginning to realize there are only two main languages. Dream talk and something else. I don't fully understand the latter but its slowly beginning to make sense. Hence i can understand contradictions. Existing and not existing at the same time.

On a church sign:
If God can light up a bug's butt, think of what He could do to you!
Ps, discussions about the ego are on other threads...this is just quotes, thanks.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

When I read that quote I thought of him singing it. I have heard so many of his words in chants.

The power of sweetgrass is always the spirit of the spirit that is with the south wind. This is always pleasing to the good spirits. The bad spirits do not like the smoke of the sweetgrass. The smoke of sage will drive bad spirits away.

A Sicun is a man's spirit. A man's real spirit is different from his Sicun spirit. Ni is also like a spirit. It is a man's breath. It is the spirit of smoke. It is the spirit of steam. It is the spirit of the sweatlodge. It purifies the body. The bear taught these things to the shamans.

'The light that we are wants to shine; it wants to expand. That's its nature. All that's preventing it is our attachment to our suffering. So we only need to find out how it's being prevented, and give our attention to that. We don't need to change it, or fix it, or figure it out, or even understand it - we only need to see the resistance for what it is. The resistance is always what's blocking the light, blocking the movement of fulfilment.' - Jon Bernie
'Often when people embark on the spiritual path, they feel like they can't be human anymore - that since they're "spiritual" now, they shouldn't have normal human experiences or normal human feelings. But that's a trap, just another limited identity, and actually one of the most difficult to let go of. When finally you let go of even the "spiritual" identity, you find that you experience and feel more deeply than ever before.' - Bernie

'How do we become free of the obsessive mind? By letting the intense energy of the underlying emotional state fully discharge through the body. This can only happen when we give 100% of our attention to what is - in this case, the movement of the emotion.' - Jon Bernie
'If a particular obsessive pattern is very old, arising from early conditioning or early wounding, then it may recur, even as we deepen into awareness. One may naturally be concerned about - or disturbed by - this recurrence. But in reality, the pattern's recurrence is not our problem, or even our business. We simply need to ride the waves when they arise.' - Bernie
