"The ego is the worst confidence trickster 

we could ever figure, we could ever imagine. 

‘Cause you don’t see it."

Dr. Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D.

Clinical Therapist, Foundation Professor at UNR

President & Founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

And the single biggest con is…”I am you.” 

Clinical Psychologist

Freud Memorial Professor of Psychotherapy at UCL 

The problem is that the ego hides in the last place that 

you’d ever look -within itself.  

In creating this imaginary external enemy, 

it usually made a real enemy for ourselves, 

and that becomes a real danger to the ego, 

but that’s also the ego’s creation.

In that sense, you could say that 100 percent of our 

external enemies are of our own creation.

Founder of the Conscious Living Foundation

Author of "Journey into Now"

It disguises its thoughts as your thoughts, its feelings as your feelings. 

You think its you. People have no clue that they’re imprisoned. 

They don’t know that there is an ego. They don’t know the distinction.

Andrew Samuels, Ph.D.

Professor of Analytical Psychology,

University of Essex, UK  

People’s needs to protect their own egos knows no bounds. 

They will lie, cheat, steal, kill, do whatever it takes, 

to maintain what we call ego boundaries. 

Psychiatrist

Physician, Researcher, Lecturer

At first it’s difficult for the mind to accept that there’s some -something 

beyond itself, that there’s something of greater value and greater capacity for discerning truth than itself. 

*Deepak Chopra, M.D.

Chairman and co-founder of the Chopra Center

for Well-Being, Author

In religion the ego manifests as the devil. 

And of course, no one realizes how smart the ego is 

because it created the devil so you could blame someone else. 

In creating this imaginary external enemy, 

it usually made a real enemy for ourselves, 

and that becomes a real danger to the ego, 

but that’s also the ego’s creation. 

There is no such thing as an external enemy, 

no matter what that voice in your head is telling you. 

All perception of an enemy is a projection of the ego as the enemy.

 

Dr. Obadiah S. Harris, Ph.D.

President of the Philosophical Research Society and Author

Your greatest enemy, is your own inner perception, 

is your own ignorance, is your own ego.

-The Ego Has Landed - Guy Ritchie

 (Revolver 2008)

The film stars Jason Statham as Jake Green, Ray Liotta as Dorothy Macha, and André Benjamin (a.k.a. "André 3000") as Avi. It centers on a revenge-seeking confidence trickster whose weapon is a universal formula that guarantees victory to its user, when applied to any game or confidence trick. This is the third feature film by Ritchie which is centered on crime and professional criminals.
