"When people get taken over by the ego to such an extent, there is nothing else in their mind except ..." — Eckhart Tolle
When people get taken over by the ego to such an extent, there is nothing else in their mind except the ego. They can no longer feel or sense their humanity - what they share with other human beings, or even with other life forms on the planet. They are so identified with concepts in their minds that other human beings become concepts as well.
