The Evidence for
Non-Duality
Is there any hard evidence that the thinker in our head – the ego – isn't real?
Well, is there any evidence that the you who you think you are is real?
The answer to either question is: No.
If you live by the principles of science, you wouldn't just assume the ego is real, only because it feels like it.
You'd investigate it. Especially since your position on this matter greatly affects your decisions, ranging from those about self-development to some of the most ordinary every-day decisions.

“The feeling that we call “I” is an illusion.
Taking oneself to be the thinker of one’s thought is a delusion that produces nearly every kind of human conflict and unhappiness.”
~ Sam Harris, neuroscientist
