How does the traditional concept of "ego" relate to the densities?

[AnthroHeart]

Right, maybe I should have been more clear:  I know that short periods of ego death are possible, but I don't see how someone could be entirely ego-less and still function in day to day life.  The vessel needs a pilot.

I think in those cases are when you hear of the masters finishing their lives here and disappearing into a rainbow body from this dimension. I don't think you can remain here long if you were permanently ego-less. Although Eckhart Tolle is probably as close as they come to living without ego.
