In _Path of Light_, Robert Perry says that everyone wears a mask. He takes this teaching from the Course in Miracles. These masks conceal the scheming egomaniacs beneath, who live by taking from others. I see a strong parallel between the Course in Miracles view of the ego and the small-S self we discuss around here. It's an artificial construct that masks a universal consciousness. --- Peter wrote: > > I wonder how many > of those who abuse their power by using others to > gratify their own desires start out that way?
