When it comes to ego all objects have the ability to break down and reassemble into more solid versions of themselves.
Ego is seeing the built environment take a backseat to nature and believing nature takes a backseat to you.
The forces of nature cause ego-death for the purpose of inspiring humans to see the earth as fertility over death and the sky as imagination over emptiness.
The ego has us managing our thoughts in the chaos of structured elements we call productivity.
The only thing that can show us our ego is leaving our ego, when atoms reassemble into more solid versions of ourselves.
