Well that is the question,
to be or not to be. Russell in Candle of Vision (p5-7) describes the ego as a mean and
miserable boy, and I can't get the thought out of my mind:

Christos has nothing to do with Jesus
While sitting in a quiet moment I had a fearful experience.
A feeling welled up inside and then without hearing any words I knew that
"I am Christos". The hallucination was very clear, not Jesus but
Christos. The experience was not simply a non-auditory, non-visual
hallucination, for it came with deep feelings for which words cannot do
justice, but sustaining, dynamic, and immensely intelligent love is the best I
can conjure. However wonderful the feelings were, a little later I found my
mind debating and deciding that this experience was upsetting and fearful. I
identified with society's condemnation of crazies who preach about Jesus being
within and I dreaded being turned into some type of wild-eyed preacher you encounter
in main streets of cities promising eternal salvation.
