Transcendence of ego is salvation from ignorance

The ego is a limiter of love and wherever there is no love, there is suffering. By creating the ego, the soul has descended into the realm of mortality and has been born into suffering in the abscence of love. When the soul chooses to ascend from suffering into love, it has to leave go of the ego. Only a soul without ego can expand into transcendence. Where there is no more ego, space opens up for ascension of the soul. A transcendental being incarnates in higher realms of love but they can descend into the realm of mortality and ego to help other souls to free themselves from their egos and find transcendence. Well known individuals are Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Dalai Lama, and other individuals that have been seen as saints, messengers or awakeners throughout the history of humanity. Nobody is born a saint, but every human being has the potential to be one and find ascension by leaving go of the ego. Every human being is born into ego, and the ego is not a saint because it is a limiter of love. Only when the ego has faded, one lives only in higher realms of love. Every human being is a Buddha and a Jesus that has descended into an ego. Whenever the human being transforms their ego into unconditional love, they bring forth ascension. As long as the human being hasn't transcended their ego, the soul is suffering in the realm of mortality and the abscence of love. To have transcended one's ego means to live in heaven while walking on earth, and to live in devotion means to bring these higher realms of love to earth and share.
