"You see, the psychologist starts from the wrong basis. His methodology is founded upon the assumption that there really is a 'person,' an ego, that can be free, whereas what we are trying to point out is that the ego itself, which comprises both the conscious and the unconscious, is totally a composite of falseness and the source of all trouble; it alone destroys freedom and nothing else does.... You see that you are not within the world but the opposite is the case.... The whole world of phenomena, entities, creatures, is within my consciousness. And that consciousness has no boundaries, no divisions; it is infinity itself."
Robert Powell

The ego…!

I am afraid we are stuck with it for the rest of our journey on this plane,
We do the best we know at each evolutionary stage.

Perhaps that explains my innate distrust of mental health 'professionals'!

Ah... thought I'd get away with never naming my sources...
It's from Dialogues On Reality.
