nonego

Nonego is a term used sporadically in English-language discourse as a compound of none (no) and ego. It has no single, widely accepted definition and is not listed in major dictionaries. The term can be written as nonego or no-ego, and occasionally as “non-ego” in some texts, though there is no standardized orthography.

In philosophy and spirituality, nonego is sometimes used to denote a state or stance characterized by the absence or negation of the ego. This usage often parallels discussions of ego dissolution or no-self (anatta) in Buddhist philosophy, but nonego is not a canonical term in these traditions and is not used consistently across authors.

In contemporary culture, nonego may appear as a coined concept in essays or blogs, or as a pseudonym, brand name, or online handle. Because it is not a standardized term, its meaning is highly context-dependent and can vary from a personal interpretive stance to a marketing label.

No formal history or standard definition is established, and reliable scholarly sources on nonego are limited. Readers encountering the term should look to the originating text to determine the intended sense.
