Are you kidding me? This goes before even Buddhism. Here is Ramana, who died in 1950, talking about thoughts, he refers to all thoughts as the ego.

Amazing how the advice he offers is the same advice given by people that want you to consume bad media.

He is speaking to a certain level of person who has already gone past religion and the new age, past deep intellectual thinking, book reading and philosophy, and then finally past nihilism and suicide. Ego death is for people who want the supreme truth, not their opinion on the truth. That's when the process of deconstructing beliefs (which are the ego) comes into play.

they don't understand that Christ is the messiah and it doesn't go any further until the return. This is why there is so much hatred for him till this day, they're scared of the inevitable.

No actually I used to be Christian and then Muslim back in the 90's and early 2000's, I then abandoned religion never to go back. Since the goal is purification and then finally ego death.
