"superego" is a largely replaced Freudian concept that was Freud's (failed) effort to account for the Spiritual in man. Fear (and the ego) are not absent from such states. "if you are egoless, then you trust everything as it is" An egoless being (My Teacher, Adi Da is such a one) would state it as "you ARE everything as it is" Namaste! Jim

TWO PARAGRAPHS FROM ADI DA: "Ego is not an entity but an activity. It is contraction of the field of Radiance. That contraction is "read" as realms, worlds, or environments, bodies (particularly one, which is one's present face, form, and life), desires, emotions, thoughts, perceptions, all knowledge, and all known phenomena, high and low. But the contraction is single, universal, present, and utterly deluding, through the binding force of implication. The native Condition in the midst of conditions is unqualified heart-felt Radiance, or undefined whole-body Radiation, which is Love. Ego, and all suffering and delusion, is simply contraction of Feeling. Liberation is Realized via return to the Condition of Feeling-Radiance (unqualified Relationship) in the midst of conditions, high or low. Such is Sahaj Samadhi. On this basis, there is also Radical Intuition of the Real, prior to all objectification of subjects, objects, and relations, which is Bhava Samadhi." FROM: Breath and Name Namaste! Jim
