How does the ego actually die?
Or rather, what does a person look like when their ego has died,or is dying?
Can we see this -- the "seed falling into the ground"?Algernon Blackwood wrote about the dying.
He wrote about it vividly and concretely, not just symbolically.This podcast quotes from two of Blackwood's "Eternity" stories:
"The Centaur" (1911) and "A Descent into Egypt" (1914).The theme is healing, at the end of the day;
and even,priesthood.
