Amen. That part where he says deny yourself...thats what I mean when I say put your ego in the passenger seat, or take yourself out of the way, or empty as much as you can of yourself out of the vessel. I believe Jesus is talking about the concept that we call "ego". Its your sense of self, the one that the world programmed you with. And satan is the ruler of this world, so he steers egos into becoming a barrier between us and God. That "person" that is your worldly sense of self is an illusion, but being stuck in the flesh prison, we naturally assume that is "self", and obey it. Basically, if you are thinking and using your senses and mind, you are coming from self. If you can shut that off by recognizing what it is, and go off of your intuition and feeling that it is suppressing, then there will be a whole lot less static on the line, bc those vibes are more resonant with the spiritual than thinking and sensing are. Follow me?  
  
Really, we are the children of God now. Grafted into Israel, as believers of the Gospel, and we are able to share in His inheritance, thru the new covenant, that Jesus secured with His death and resurrection. He's now the King of Kings, and we are adopted in spiritually as his brothers and sisters as true believers.  
  
Thats really why the "Jews" hate us, as christians especially. They dont want to share their claim to supremacy by being the "chosen" people, Israel. They don't believe our claim thru the blood of the Messiah is valid. Well in the New testament, the real reason they hate it, is bc it says if they dont believe in Jesus, then their branch was broken off of the olive branch, while we were grafted into it. The olive branch represents spiritual Israel, those under the covenant. So really we have become the chosen people, Israel, by adoption, and they have been disowned for denying Christ. This really pisses them off, and they hate us for thinking it, but thats the way you should see yourself. Not as a mortal man. The flesh and ego are just a side effect and illusion of the curse. Recognize that in you and see it for what it is, then it's much easier to separate your true self from your "ego" self.  
  
People go searching for "ego death" from ayahuasca and psychedelics and chemicals, but you can't kill your ego with those, its part of the flesh. You just reset it with those things somewhat, but then you're still stuck with an ego. Just a new one. Best to just recognize the one you got, and put it into submission. Then you can humble yourself enough to find the only true ego death, which is being born again thru Jesus Christ, and finding your true identity as a child of God.  
  
It's kind of a hard thing to explain without sounding to woowoo, but I'm trying. Lol
