THE EGO

03BUCKET · TERM 7/12

The defensive structure built to preserve The Self. It arises when The Mind projects Meaning onto experience and constructs protection through Role and Identity. The Ego is not arrogance. It is defense. It uses The Delusion of Control to simulate authority. It does not surrender. It adapts to survive. The Ego will wear any Mask that preserves The Self.
