in the modern person, the ego is radically inflated and assumes a secret God-Almighty position.

The ego, rather than Laws or Teachings, is now the
recipient of projections, good and bad.

The ego becomes the sole arbiter of right and wrong, true and false, beautiful and ugly.

There is no authority
outside of the ego.

Meaning must be created by the ego; it cannot be discovered elsewhere. God is not “out there” any more, it’s me!
