The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian) / quote 178 of 254
The solidity of self is the illusion
The solidity of self is an illusion; the self itself is not. The Ego Trick is not to persuade us that we exist when we do not, but to make us believe we are more substantial and enduring than we really are. There may be an illusion as to what we really are, but not that we really are.
