Ego

The only reason I need an ego – an imaginary existence – is because I have lost my true sense of who and what and why I am. This loss, which is really a loss of centre and therefore a loss of true perspective, means that I have also lost my ability to receive the world and to give to that world. This loss, which is tragic and catastrophic, is necessary for social control, and everything we do and think assumes that this lost centre does not exist; in fact in the world our egos have constructed for us this lost centre cannot exist. And this is the ego's big mistake because every cell in my body yearns for that centre and cannot be properly still and present until they have it, and so the eternal human struggle for happiness and fulfilment.
