10 STEPS OF EGO INSANITY
- I give my identity to some thought.
- Since I have identified with some thought, I have trapped it. Since I now possess it, I claim to know it.
- I use my attention to take that thought to my comparative mind.
- Since I am comparing and judging that thought, I claim I am doing it.
- The thought is weighed in-between the duality known as knowledge. This conflict between what-is and what-should-be produces a result.
- Since I have a judgment, a result from comparing that thought, I claim I created that result.
- Since I created that result, I claim I am that result and so I identify with that result. The result is my comparison, judgment, the result of measuring the first thought.
- Since I am some judgment, I want to emotionally experience what I am.
- I use my attention to take the result to my feeling mind. The feeling mind produces sensations of my judgment.
- I feel good or bad depending on whether the comparison is good or bad. That is, I have ego pleasure (pride) when the judgment is good and ego pain (shame) when the judgment is bad.
