Our Ego shapes and forms our lives in ways we could never imagine. This book sheds light on the Ego and it's various ruses. Our mechanical nature which brings many much suffering is directly attributable to the Ego and its various machinations. The Ego being only an object has no real reality and only our belief in it gives it life. By reading several of these aphorisms each morning and night we can begin to free ourselves from the illusion of who we are not and begin to live in the freedom of who we are.
