The OP was about Mind and No-Mind, or Meditation and Thought.
You brought up religion and how religiously we could not rid ourselves of our ego because that was not the point of it all.
In other modalities, losing oneself, destroying the ego is a good thing as it allows one to lose oneself and reunite with the Universe as One. The ego is the culmination of conscious imprinting of habits of thought and wants, the part of us which screams we are unique.
How can we return to the source and be One if we are stopping ourselves?
