Thomas Metzinger Quotes

The Ego, As Noted, Is Simply The Content Of Your PSM [Phenomenal Self Model] At This Moment (your Bodily Sensations, Your Emotional State, Your Perceptions, Memories, Acts Of Will, Thoughts). But It Can Become The Ego Only Because You Are Constitutionally Unable To Realize That All This Is Just The Content Of A Simulation In Your Brain. It Is Not Reality Itself But An Image Of Reality - And A Very Special One Indeed. The Ego Is A Transparent Mental Image: You - The Physical Person As A Whole - Look Right Through It. You Do Not See It. You See With It. The Ego Is A Tool For Controlling And Planning Your Behavior And For Understanding The Behavior Of Others
