The ego is nothing more than a shadow. Its stuff and reality are merely that transient ever-changing play of light and colour. It exists--a word whose very meaning, "to be placed outside," is also metaphysically true. For he who immerses himself in its consciousness places himself outside the consciousness of Overself.
