Totalitarianism

Contextual Quote

"Totalitarianism is a manifestation of the narcissistic structure of the Ego. The Ego represents the register of the Illusion. It deceives us into believing that the essence of who we are is shown by our reflection. The reflection, however, reverses left and right and it doesn’t show us the colors the real object of our body contains, but those it reflects. That means: it shows us exactly the opposite colors than those that are inside the object. Transcending totalitarianism, in the end, simply boils down to transcending the Ego."
