the ego is not the real "you "; it was inherited as part of being born a human. It basically originates from the animal world, and the evolution of consciousness happened through the primitive stages of marnkind's evolution,so it could be said that to seek enlightenment is to recapitulate the history of human evolution.
from--《Dissolving the EGO realizing the SELF》
ego并不是真正的“你”；它是作为人类出生的一部分而继承下来的。 它基本上起源于动物世界，意识的进化经历了人类进化的原始阶段，可以说，寻求启迪(觉悟 开悟)就是对人类进化史的概括。
