Where there is ego, yes it does need balancing.
But let's go one step further.... where there is no need for balancing... an
effortless task of BEING balanced, rather than to have balance and maintain
this.
At this point, would there be an ego?

To me, ego is fear, which is anything but Love. So many things that we think
is love is merely fear. Like you said, acting a certain way to be
*spiritual*. We act because we are afraid we won't be spiritual. Not to say
there is anything wrong with that, cause if you act *spiritual* long enough,
you will get it I would think. And realize you were spiritual all along, no
matter what you did.

Nahhhh. The ego is just afraid. If we were to let go of all fear, we would
be One with ourself. We wouldn't have to *do* anything, ie. act spiritual,
be cool, be loving and kind, etc. etc. We would just BE whoever we are.
I think it is the fear we have to really look at and let go of to be who we
are. Nothing else.
Love,
