If you think your consciousness and ego/ self of I, me, mine is so damn clever, important and responsible for all the things it takes credit for just stop to consider what it does not and cannot do. Little things like beat your heart, digest your food, run your central nervous system, keep your balance, regulate your body temperature, fight infection, filter toxins, grow your hair, see, hear, feel, taste and of course breathe to name but a few. You wouldn’t even be able to entertain the fantasies that you have an ego or are a self without your unconsciousness providing the means for such illusions.
