Don't you see though that that's contradictory? If the ego can be gone completely how can one still be oneself? Or are you saying the self isn't individual? Maybe corresponds to some monotheistic principal or principle?
Besides, to the gnostic the god is within one so will be influencing their "I am." God is filtering through a lot of 'past experience' processing to the you at the front reacting to the situation you happen to be in.

In this positon, One will sense the changes....
...It's NOT intellectual. One senses a shift in consciousness. God consciousness.

And you see you've done it again. How can one sense the changes without an ego or at best a self? What's doing the sensing? Are you suggesting the dominant force itself is sensing the change? (Pse correct me if so.)

She's there already. Truth is unique to us individually. Whether there are many paths to it I don't know. I suspect there are several.
