Part III: The Evolution of Fantasy
Over time, you no longer even recognize the conditions of original bliss. Instead, what you are left with is a memory, a fantasy that never truly existed, a supposed "ideal" that exists and only ever existed inside your own mind.
At this point, your actual ego is working against reality. It seeks to shut down all opportunities to be at peace, to find happiness, to appreciate life. Because nothing in the real world will fit into your fantasy world, the delusions you now imagine are the "only thing that could make you happy."
