The Illusion

The issue is that the mind produces an illusion of continuity and an illusion of "something" who rules, who controls this "organism", the ego. So you try to "see" this trick and the illusion of the ego in seeking the absence of the ego. But when you look in that empty room you'll find always "someone" seeking!
In that room there always will be the "ego" looking for the emptiness of the room!
So the room seems to be not empty!
Studying the ego and breaking it down you'll see it's an illusion, a shadow of a "chief" created by the lights in the room itself and by the property of the room itself that appears when you turn on the light to seek "nobody" in the room!
