There is a better dictionary in yoga. I try to avoid the word ego as it is a bit nebulous, once you have experienced the state you describe.Carol wrote:True self = sans ego = egoless = humble
In addition this is an experience of conscious awareness as spirit in a state of singularity where polarities collapse. One is a drop in the ocean.. one is the ocean. Collapsed means both awarenesses are experienced simultaneously. Ego doesn't exist in the higher spiritual realms. Ego is necessary when dealing with duality and with having to choose between right action and wrong (good vs evil). I seriously doubt I'll ever be able to explain this in words as words don't exist sans ego. One just is.
Ok. I can only talk for 'me'. You say 'One Just Is' and that is exactly correct (and all you need you already have). But who is this 'me' this entity that is present? I have experienced that which you describe, but I have never lost the sense of 'self'.
In yoga ego doesnt exit. It is broken down into (my words) "I am ego" which they call ahem. And egotism ("I want ego" (or dont want, or avoid or whatever)). This is asmita in yoga.
When folk say 'lose the ego' what they mean to say is lose asmita.
Now I can't talk for you, but your experience as you describe is common to both of us. I lost asmita, but in all my travels and states of being i have never lost ahem, I have never lost the sense of 'me' as an entity that is separate from you.
My interactions with the earth and all upon it are different but i am still me. experiencing advaita. (non-duality)
It becomes stupid when you don't ask. So you are just fine! 
And at the same time, I am not saying this higher self is not real either. It just didn't fit in my matrix. Which also leads to Karma. IMHO, I think it is a control program to compel you to do their bidding, using quilt to compel you. And calling it Karma.
Well, you are missed by me. 
Hope you are doing okay. 
Have you researched crop circles by chance?
