- I don't think the ego borrows from reality,
because there is complete communication failure
between the ego and spirit, and they are
completely contradictory. The presence of
one of them depends on the absence of the other.
The ego knows nothing of spirit, and for spirit
the ego does not exist.

The ego is lack of everything;
spirit is the wholeness of Reality.
