I sense we disagree regarding what I'm about to say but...

Then you will never achieve absolute perfect... ever. I have known many religious people who cliam to eliminate ego, individuality... etc. Every single one has either been a fraud or delusional. That doesn't mean there can't be such, I just have my doubts.

Indeed I would be suspicious of any diety, or religious leader, who would ask we do so. I suspect the ego, and individuality, is something we are expected to treasure, if we use as wisely as possible. That last caveat is crucial and wisdom is a matter of perspective. What one thinks is wise for the moment one may find less than so in the future... and the opposite is true as well. I also suspect that God knows this ands is more forgiving than our religious leaders will admit.
Very true!
