Ego Quote by Frank M. Wanderer
““Reaching beyond ourselves, exceeding our mind is not a simple thing. It is, in fact, impossible–one half of the Ego is trying to exceed the other.””
About This Quote
The quote suggests that trying to surpass our own mind is paradoxical because part of our ego resists the very act of exceeding itself.
In simple terms: Trying to outgrow yourself is self‑defeating because part of you opposes it.
