You allow your thoughts some freedom, like you would take away the leash of a dog to let it play for free for some time. You only allow your dog this freedom knowing that when you call him back to the leash he will obey !.

Therefore, is it that when we daydream or when we blank out, we are giving our ego mind space to release its thoughts, but when we suddenly “awake” from that “blank” state, we are re-garthering our thoughts and once again taking control of it? I like that analogy! Sometimes, we can allow our thoughts to flow freely, but later we can “call it back to the leash” and it will quiet down. When we first start meditating, we experience a state of “nothingness” or “emptiness”…perhaps this is when our Being is regathering all of our thoughts and which eventually allows our Being to live in its purest form, as you mentioned!
What I am saying may be a little simplified, but this is the general concept! (correct me if I’m wrong!)

All you can damage is ego. ego can damage your physical body, so take away ego, and you are pure Being. This pureness, this unchangeble wholeness is allready at the base of You. You allready are that. Ego is just telling you otherwise. I just think it is a comforting thought for you to know that you can't really be hurt.

I agree with what you say! Our ego mind is not completely evil. It does not exist only create unnecessary thoughts. But, on the other hand, it is also what sometimes inhibits us from experiencing essence with the Being. As you have previously mentioned, we should not overreact to such thoughts because they are simply thoughts – thoughts that we can control! It is, indeed comforting to know that we can’t really be hurt. Perhaps it just depends on how we deal with things, and the charge (as we discussed in the most recent discussion) that we distribute among the Being and ego mind.
