heh... eliminate the ego via brianwashing. First tell them they have an ego, then tell them they need to eliminate the ego, then tell them only you can take them to the enlightened state.
Or,
Come to the understanding that a singular separate "you" does not exist. That "the ego" is an illusion cast by the single greatest impediment to humanity's evolution, self-awareness. For self awareness is a fraud. It is the over-emphasis on a detached entity which is not detatched.
The ego is not part of the survival instinct. Insticts function at a much lower level and do NOT require this self-awareness necessary for the manifestation of the concept of ego.

where does it begin?
the ego is a self generating concept. To create sepearation it focuses on differentiation. It begins in the perceptual processes. It is a valuable survival process to distinguish between threat and friend, between tribe member and invader, etc. This however, allowed to run free creates the isolation illusion of the ego. One may see himself as separate, but he is not. He is using the perception of separation to define him, and thus is as dependent upon those perceived as "different" as the egoless are on their perception of familiarity. The difference is the the one serving the ego, is also serving those incorrectly perceived as separate.
