The ego lives by comparisons. (p. 52)
The ego cannot survive without judgment. (p. 54)
The ego does not want to teach everyone all it has learned, because that would defeat its purpose. (p. 109)
The ego seeks to divide and separate. Spirit seeks to unify and heal. (p. 110)
To the ego, the mind is private. (p. 296)
“The ego is the part of the mind that believes in division. How could part of God detach itself without believing it is attacking Him? …The ego believes that this what you did because it believes that it is you. If you identify with the ego, you must perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to your ego you will experience guilt, and you will fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful thought. However ridiculous the idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the ego is not sane.” ~CIM
