- The ego requires to be known, and to be known is to be dead as something.
- The ego is based on claiming and knowing; however, the self is based on active humility and surrender.
- The ego is about knowing yourself as self-constructions while pretending that those dead things are living.
- The ego is based on categorial thinking that claims to know and be more than just the database sorting, filing, and storing of dead information.
- Without claiming to know, you cannot have self-esteem (ego); however, your claims to know are the destruction of the self through foolish attempts to preserve it as fossils.
