Yes you could put it that way, basically because.........

Whilst trying to say that ego is basically the real 'us'.......many people pick up on this word and say that ego is wrong. That by saying ego is wrong, is denouncing the real 'you' and making the person something that they are not.

.....it's saying that there is something wrong with them.

For example, we are told to love everyone. How the heck do we love people that we have no feelings for? (okay I am moving away from the subject).
Or perhaps not allowed to judge? We all judge, whether it be our wife or our job.

Judgement says more about the judge than the judged.

Let us face it......we all try and look proud and smart to create good impression. So why is it wromg in the eyes of the spiritualist to accept ourselves?

I don't know about spiritualists but to me it's about being, as opposed to trying to be. In accepting yourself as 'a trying to be' to 'make good impressions' is self awareness.

Providing that we do no harm to others, we cannot pretend we are something that we are not, no matter how we try.

But isn't it a form of pretending when you are trying to be smart and proud? If you are not proud and smart, what are you? A pretender? This may well be an example of the 'concept of ego' if it is true. Only you can know, and me if you will tell me. Regards
