Dear Voodoodoll,
Ooops, I didnt mean to upset your apple cart . I posted this quote because it mentions that ego is self centered & our belief in ego or self centeredness is what pulls us away from truth or reality....ego is a concept, something that has arisen from a need to understand human behaviour..it is not a concrete object that we can see ..though most of us seem to be able to see Ego very well in others!! :)
Hope I did not confuse...for me, seeing things from different angles helps my understanding.
peace & joy,
holobon
