Consciousness

There are lot of people out there seeking spirituality. I don't understand what they are seeking. I guess I am also part of the clan. Thinks are getting slightly clearer in my head. It may not make much sense to others but I am bringing it all together in one piece now.
There are two group of spiritual seekers-1. someone interested in the death of ego 2. someone who is keen to feed the ego.
My understanding is this- If someone has to put an end to ego, it can happen only by Practice. The method that I have understood is Self-enquiry by Ramana Maharshi. If some one wants to feed the ego , then obviously methods like meditation, reading spiritual books and charity works come into play.
All the spiritual books that are widely available talk the same things again and again but in a different ways and language. Reading multiple authors  will not contribute to deeper understanding of anything but may help to understand an idea that one particular author may have excelled at wording it or delivering it in the texts.
One musn't forget the whole idea is to lack ideas and concepts. For me, understanding  is 'to be us being part of universe' and nothing different is important. When the universe is born it shattered into multiple rocks that are now called galaxies etc.Each rock has a characteristic size  , shape etc., I am also the shape with a personality which is a shattered piece from the cosmos.
I wonder who invented the word 'Ego'. The word is unnecessary and confusion. It creates chaos. Knowing that we are part of cosmos, whatever is the fate of the cosmos is the fate of me. Why should I worry about the ego , its presence or absence. It makes no sense to me. Why should I achieve consciouness when I am already part of consciousness in the Universe?Why should I worry about reincarnation for I know even stars die and not reborn? What is wrong in being reborn when one knows how to live happy in every birth? Everything came from nothingness and from eveything it becomes nothing. If it is true that the whole world is just the thought of the mind and once this thought ceases everything ceases. Thoughts cease naturally after death of the body don't they? What is the hurry in ceasing the thoughts before hand while still alive?
What applies to comos applied to me as well isnt it?
Methods such as meditation apparently modify the working of brain similar to hypnosis. It is a time machine. If past can be brought back from memory there is all chance that a person like me can also see the future. It is time travel initially but when becoming part of cosmos after death of human body, I will merge with cosmos which is timeless. I can wait until after my natural death for all these natural events to happen. I don't have to rush into finding the timelessness  now when I can enjoy a nice dinner!
