Your Ego Needs You But You Don’t Need It: 01-31-2025

1. You experience your ego inside because you are the experiencer, not your ego.
2. The ego is concerned with semantic objects, while the self is concerned with sensations.
3. The ego is about claiming to know, do, and be things, while the self is about experiencing things.
4. The ego cannot experience itself because it is not a being with self-consciousness but a facade built out of semantic delusions.
5. The self and the ego compete for your identity because your identity provides self-awareness, either accurately for the self or delusionally for the ego.
