As many as there are human beings. But with realized beings, the ego is different. It is a dead shell filled with the Divine, like our dead layer of skin (epidermis) encloses our body.

What really hampers communication? Division perhaps? You know every definition is a division. Often times a definition requires defense from those who we've divided apart as not being most of us. I am not concerned with being 'right'. That is truly a heavy cross to bear. It's ironic how through life we carry enormous weight on our back only to discover one day that we don't need to... Then we let it go. You can be right, dear Tim. And I will be wrong. I have no problem with that, if that could satisfy your yearning. But I suspect it can not. Perhaps if I tell you that in my heart there is a great deal of love and respect for you who are... Either way, be kind to yourSelf...
