"The ego is the worst confidence trickster we could ever imagine because we don’t see it. The problem is that the ego hides in the last place that you would ever look; within itself. It disguises it’s thoughts as your thoughts, it’s feelings as your feelings; you think it’s you. People who need to protect their own egos know no bounds; they will lie, cheat, steal, kill, and do whatever it takes to maintain ego boundaries. No matter what that voice in your head is telling you, there is no such thing as an external enemy. All perception of an enemy is a projection of the ego as the enemy. In that sense, you can say that 100% of our external enemies are of our own creation. Your greatest enemy is your own inner perception and ignorance…it is your own ego!"
