I use this example because it’s what happened to me. The ego still achieves its two main goals:
What was originally a self-important construct to valourise the identity of being a Northerner has morphed into a self-important construct to valourise the identity of being The Lad Who Done Good.

Now perhaps we openly talk about how London is a good place full of high achievers…… Then someone tells us we are acting overly superior, that we are now swanning around saying how we’ve “made it” and enjoy looking down on our former comrades up North as being “small-minded” and “parochial”.Īll that happened is our ego switched sides. So then what happens? The ego retreats briefly and, like HeWhoCannotBeNamed, returns in disguised form. It’s just externalising and projecting our own low self-esteem – sour grapes. That’s why we talk with such bravado about football and denigrate Londoners as “soft southerners”, “spivs” and “yuppies”. Some introspection tells us we feel low self-esteem from growing up excluded from The Good Life down South. Perhaps we’re a Northern working class lad who drinks to excess and finds himself in pointless Friday night punch-ups. You must master yourself before you master the world. So we can introspect and begin to confront our ego. I call it reflexivity, the gradual expansion of the realm under your influence. Whether you’ve watched The Blueprint Decoded, Deep Inner Game or Tony Robbins they all give you heuristic devices, jargon and mindsets to achieve long-term conscious control over your mind. When you get into Game you develop a vocabulary to parse these ideas. So reality must be rebuffed. This is where the ego becomes very devious. Some people don’t want to face up to their deep-rooted feelings of low self-worth. Why is that? The same reason for most weirdness: low self-esteem. It’s designed to stop that criticism filtering through. To continue the metaphor, some people’s coffee filter is impermeable.
