False Floating Balloon---
"The real ego is our very essence—the consciousness that makes us aware and awake to reality. The false ego is an identity crafted to preserve our sense of being the most significant, the most important, the one who knows everything. When you trust the false ego to protect you, it's like wearing armour that you thought was made of steel but is actually made of paper. You march onto the battlefield, confident that it will protect you but are easily wounded with a butter knife."
~~ Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty
I'm attempting to illustrate the significance of the phrase. The amount of damage created by the false ego until it is broken is determined by how high you allow it to lift you up.
