All the ideas we have of ourselves

are ULTIMATELY false.

Any asserted or resisted definition–

call it I, identity, self–it is

not who we are! It’s a product

of who we are! It’s the bubble

we created to operate from

within. It is the definition that

we wear, and it determines our

experience of other bubbles.

Ego is the effort to protect the

bubble.

— Harry Palmer, Living Deliberately
