“The ego is first and foremost a bodily ego; it is not merely a surface entity, but is itself the projection of a surface.”
— Sigmund Freud
Simplified Meaning:
Our sense of self is deeply connected to our physical body, and it’s not just something on the outside; it actually comes from our body’s outer layer.
