📝Alan Watts argues, with equal parts conviction and compassion, that “the prevalent sensation of oneself as a separate 📝ego enclosed in a bag of skin is a hallucination which accords neither with Western science nor with the experimental philosophy-religions of the East.” [1]
In Hindu traditions, realizing who you are is called Sadhana, which means “discipline.” It is the way of life necessary to follow to escape the illusion that you are merely a skin encapsulated ego. [2]
The 'Skin Encapsulated Ego' shirt in the 📝Spiritual Bro Store is a 📝parody of 📝Spiritual Gangster which, to me, builds into the false reality of 'I' and distracts an individual from true 📝self.
