No Ego Odyssey is about striving toward, and succeeding, at living without Ego. 

These three books use analytic and narrative techniques to portray how before Ego forms in children they are too unfocused to do anything other than play moment-to-moment. 

Children need Ego to discover their abilities and vital importance because Ego focuses their attention on themselves.

However, similar to the way children lose baby-teeth to mature, adults must lose Ego if they are to mature, but it has to be done consciously.

Uncontained, Ego is blindly selfish because it only sees itself.  Evil is not supernatural or relative; it’s out-of-control Ego.  Untamed Ego produces the perversions of humanity:  rape, murder, incest, crime, war, brutality, bigotry, and racism, causing us to consciously and willfully violate the boundaries of others by justifying all actions to Ego’s needs.

Parents are reluctant to tell children to tame Ego because most believe we need a strong Ego to survive, but there’s a difference between strong Ego and strong Self.  A strong Self bridles Ego so we can live authentically and honestly with others.

Life without Ego is a flow of joy, insight, humor, patience, practicality, and searing intelligence. Action without action.

For adults, the purpose of Ego is to identify, sideline, see-through, tame, and participate in the annihilation of itself.  

To expand purpose beyond ourselves we set Ego aside. Sigmund Freud saw humanity as equal parts Ego, Superego, and Id battling the subconscious, which is how Ego likes to see things because Ego does not want to be responsible for itself or for a truth other than itself.

What psychologists call the subconscious is out-of-control Ego steamrolling everything around it.  There are more resources for putting Ego—the subconscious—in its place than most are aware.  

No Ego Odyssey is one more.

Life without Ego is freedom of mind and heart as we fulfill our humanity.
