1 " The true self is that which is in touch with reality. The false self is the aspects of your personality that are adapted to threats and no longer consciously recognizes either the adaptation or the threat. "
― Stefan Molyneux
2 " The purpose of the false self is to defend against pain - not deal with reality "
― Robert W. Firestone
3 " It’s ego – the false self – that exalts the guru and declares the teaching sacred, but nothing is exalted or sacred, only true or not true. "
