Interesting what you say about having to face some existential questions if you remove some ego enforcing ideas about yourself. Ernest Becker's book 'Denial of Death' suggests that this 'narrative' we have about ourselves is to deny our mortality, which we really got me thinking.

Yes. That makes sense. But sometimes I wonder whether the ego is there to deny the immortality of the awareness.
