So we must first become aware of the props we use to maintain who we think we are. It begins with:  I m a woman  or  I m a man.  There s strong identification. There s strong support for the ego, for that  I am  is the ego itself talking. Next we identify with our abilities and our knowledge.  This is what I can do  and  This is what I know.  Two further strong supports for the ego.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcerpt from \u003cem\u003eSelf-image or Self-knowledge?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLet go of all self-images, of all ideations, of all hopes and plans.
