However, the author demonstrates a significant confusion about the ego. The ego is not some kind of evil twin that is out only for itself, at any cost. The ego is a fundamental part of human psychological structure. Every time we make a decision or assert our personal boundaries, we are able to do so because of the ego. We are self-aware because of it. There is, in fact no self-awareness without it. It is the gateway to discovering all the things that we hold inside that need to be explored, both positive and negative. The author is correct in stating that it is needed to discover what inside us needs to be healed. But, the ego is also necessary to discover what inside deserves to be honored and creatively expressed. It is not the creator of illusion. If someone is acting in a way that demonstrates an out of control ego, that action is driven by a diminished sense of self and that is the source of the illusion. It is the healthy use of the ego that will dispel that illusion. We need to honor all parts of our self, including the ego, because we cannot discover who we are without it.
