| BkVI:7.I.10 | Here we have another simple explanation of what the ego means. You created the ego in order to identify yourself as something alien to God—being your own teacher, an imaginary teacher. When you identify with an ego and make it your teacher, you become your own teacher. Here you can find the logical inconsistency of the egoic mind: it is simply absurd to believe that a teacher that resides entirely in your imagination can guide you with certainty. |
