Ep 16. We identify with things in our world and Ego is the sensitive part of who we are when we interact with others and when we identify how I see and how I value myself. Ego is an idea and not the actual self, it is mentally constructed idea of my self image, the mask and person that wears the "Mask of the Polis" when socialize. Determining my actual "SELF" versus my conceptual/amalgam of thoughts I call myself is important to protect oneself and minimize offense based on words and beliefs that arise quickly with feelings deluding us into thinking that harm is being visited upon us, when we are actually only responding to the assault on the belief artifact that I call myself or more accurately "EGO". The dispassionate observer and the 3rd person perspective are also discussed as a self regulatory skill.
