Spiritual ego

Definition:
Spiritual ego is the [[identification]] with clarity, awareness, or progress itself.

Structure:
Insight → Ownership → Identity → Superiority/Subtle Separation

Examples:

  • “I am more aware.”
  • “I understand deeper truths.”
  • “Others are unconscious.”

Key Clarifications:

  • It is harder to detect than ordinary ego.
  • It uses truth as a new identity.
  • It blocks further inquiry.

Core Insight:
The ego survives by becoming subtle.
