Chapter I
Many people believe
that a huge ego is a bad thing. Those
people are stupid, moronic losers that have absolutely no touch with reality or
the real world and are worth absolutely nothing and are expected to grovel at
your feet at all times. This best
demonstrates a very large ego.
There
are many classifications of the ego. The
definition of the ego by Encarta encyclopedia is this.
“Ego,
in psychoanalysis, term denoting the central part of the personality structure
that deals with reality and is influenced by social forces. According to the
psychoanalytic theories developed by Sigmund Freud, the ego constitutes one of
the three basic provinces of the mind, the other two being the id and the
superego. Formation of the ego begins at birth in the first encounters with the
external world of people and things. The ego learns to modify behavior by
controlling those impulses that are socially unacceptable. Its role is that of
mediator between unconscious impulses and acquired social and personal
standards. In philosophy, ego means the
conscious self or "I." Some philosophers, notably the 17th-century
Frenchman René Descartes and the 18th-century German Johann Gottlieb Fichte, as
the sole basis of reality, viewed it; they saw the universe as existing only in
the individual's knowledge and experience of it. Other philosophers, such as the 18th-century
German Immanuel Kant, proposed two forms of ego, one perceiving and the other
thinking.”
There
is also the tem of Egoism that means roughly “that of pertaining to the
ego. Encarta Encyclopedia defines this
term as
Egoism,
the doctrine or attitude that one's own interests are of greater importance
than any other consideration or thing. See Altruism; Ethics; Hedonism;
Utilitarianism.
I believe the previous definition best sums it
up. As you can see, the ego is what we
think about ourselves. Those described
with a large ego think extremely highly of themselves. Those with a small ego think very lowly of
themselves. Therefore, for the best mental,
emotional and physical health, it is most beneficial to build and nurture a
large ego. The larger the ego, the more successful the individual. The denunciation of the ego leads to the
denunciation of the self which leads to the downward spiral of the external and
eventually the internal self. This causes
the de-successfulization of the individual who is doing these absolutely horrible
things to the ego. The downward spiral
of the ego leads to the downward spiral of the self. This cannot be allowed to happen. The best way it can be stopped is by building
up a larger and smugger ego which can be used to cushion the self against any
blow.
There
will be a great many blows against the self during the life of an
individual. Every time a blow is lodged,
the psyche takes more and more damage. The
psyche can heal itself, or with the aid of a ACFD certified psychiatrist (such
as myself, contact information below), but it can be guarded against such
damage by the building and cushioning of the ego.
I
will explain how the ego in egoism works.
Let’s say that individual A, lets call him bob, starts off with an ego
as a blank slate (as all people do). The
way to an exceptionally large ego is this.
First, the ego must be fed everything, good and bad, until it becomes monstrously
large. This is phase 1. Then, when it is huge, reinforcement should
begin. This is Phase 2. The growth of the ego should be slowed down,
but still advance at a rapid state. It should
be reinforced by giving it a purpose and having it to be fed more on real
accomplishments. This is phase 3.
Feeding
the ego on real accomplishments will be easier as the growth of the ego
progresses. As it becomes larger and
more accomplishments occur due to the ultra-advance-Re-Successfulization. This leads to the glorification of the ego
and the worship of the self.
By
having a large ego, you have more confidence than others have have have and are
therefore able to accomplish much, much more than others with a small ego.
An
ego is also a measure of confidence. For
those not aware of the direct definition, confidence is self-assurance and is
therefore, extremely beneficial in all ways and manners thereof.
It
has been scientifically proven that those with large ego’s and an extremely
large amount of confidence succeed more than those with little self-assurance
or confidence.
Furthermore,
as you succeed, you gain more confidence and so on and so on. Therefore, you must start with a large amount
of confidence and as you succeed form the confidence, you gain more and more
allowing you to succeed to higher and greater planes of success.
Therefore,
and ego is absolutely essential to success and success is essential to an
ego. An ego is usually hard to sustain
and requires more and more success to be built, nurtured and sustained. Success and confidence build and ego and
makes those possessing the ego happier, more successful and have a better
quality of life.
Those
with more confidence succeed and those that succeed have more confidence. This is a never-ending cycle that helps those
that succeed, succeed even more and hampers that do not succeed form trying
harder.
There
is a problem with this though. At some
point in the scale of success, there are few accomplishments to be made and at
some point, the ego must stop dead in its tracks and is no longer able to
accomplish more than it previously did.
This usually means the end of the strong ego and the carrier of the ego
usually withers and is distraught and sinks into a great depression form which
few, if any, ever escape.
In
addition, those that do not usually succeed have very small egos. Therefore, they lack the self-assurance and
confidence to try harder and succeed.
Therefore, those that are not successful have a much harder time of succeeding
than those that are already successful.
Nevertheless,
fear not, my reader, there is an answer.
There is a way to build a great, colossal ego without ever succeeding or
to sustain a larger than life ego when there are no more accomplishments to be
had. This is a scientifically proven
method that envelopes many a great scientifically proven techniques that, by
building a larger ego and definition of self-confidence will allow you to
succeed beyond your wildest dreams. This
is the ego building method known as the Dr. Rev. Bryan Thompson method. With this, you will become more self-assured,
successful, richer, better looking, healthier and become a more well rounded,
all together better person.
By building self-confidence, you build your self. By building yourself, you build self-confidence!
It has been said that your image of yourself is how
you actually are. Most people’s actual
self reflects their ego, yet some people are able to build their ego to much
better than the actual image of themselves and therefore, make the reflection
real. By changing your reflection, you
can change your self.
I will say here one of the
most important thing’s you will ever here.
Here it is.
AN EGO IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU
WILL EVER HAVE!
This
is what it is, and therefore, you should remember this.
Now,
onto the methods.

Many
methods and techniques can work to build a better ego, though this is one of
the only one’s that is scientifically proven to work.
The
basis of this method is that a bigger and better ego allows you better freedom
and a happier life without having to conform to the outside lifestyle. By doing this, you are able to command the
respect of others and be the person you are or have always wanted to be.
The
technique I will first show you is based upon neo-pavlovian archetypal physics. I do not know what those words mean but I use
them because no one else does and therefore I can get away with it. This logic is built alongside the ego.
You
carry out this technique by acting your regular self, except whenever anyone
criticizes you, you enter a lengthy and extremely insulting argument in which
you explain absolutely everything that is not perfecting them and then explain
how you are perfect and therefore, they must be wrong and you must be
right. By the end, they will agree with
you. Also, do not hesitate to bring in
arguments that do not have anything to do with your point. An example is “the reason I should get the
bike is because you got drunk at the Christmas party last year and spent 4
hours at the karaoke machine until security kicked you out.”
By
belittling others, you are able to inflate the esteem of your self by lowering
the bar of acceptable behavior and accomplishment. By this logic, if you work at an office and
everyone is a moron and you are simply above average, you are very smart. Insulting and belittling others makes you
bigger and better. Though this technique
works, I would not personally suggest it to those that want to get along with
others or even those that do not enjoy being punched in the face.
These
belittling techniques WORK!
These
techniques can be best summarized by this
·
Psychological explanations: "He is
still a baby and wants to be cared for." "She needs attention all the
time, she flirts with everyone." "He is afraid I'll be more
successful than he is, that's why he wants me to stay home." "You're
just trying to make me mad so you'll have an excuse to go drinking."
·
Psychological name-calling:
"You're paranoid." "You're a latent homo." "You're a
hypochondriac--it's all in your head."
·
Accusations about the other person's
ability or desire to change: "You're sick, you must want to be
unhappy." "You don't care about me, you don't want to change."
"You just don't care how I feel."
·
Accusations of poor insight: "I
have more and more to do at work, why can't you understand that and stop
bitching?" "Can't you see I'm upset and want to be left alone."
"You just don't get it, do ya?"
·
Blaming permanent characteristics (or
human nature) in the other person: "He has a terrible temper."
"She is super sensitive." "All women are scatterbrained."
"Men are so insensitive." "Boy, are you stupid!"
Some
more conventional techniques are these!
1. Use affirmations to boost your
self-esteem. On the back of a business card or small index card, write
out a statement such as "I like and accept myself just the way I am",
I am the master of my destiny", "I am somebody, I love myself, I
believe in myself". Carry the card with you. Repeat the statement
several times during the day, especially at night before going to bed and after
getting up in the morning. Whenever you say the affirmation, allow
yourself to experience positive feelings about your statement. You may also think these to yourself and
repeat them to yourself before sleep so as they are ingrained into your mind as
you sleep.
2. Associate with positive, supportive people. When you are surrounded by
negative people who constantly put you and your ideas down, your self-esteem is
lowered. On the other hand, when you are accepted and encouraged, you
feel better about yourself in the best possible environment to raise your
self-esteem.
3. Make a list of your past successes. This doesn't necessarily have to
consist of monumental accomplishments. It can include your "minor victories"
like learning to skate, graduating from high school, college, receiving an
award or promotion etc. Read this list often. While reviewing it,
close your eyes and recreate the feelings of satisfaction and joy you
experienced when you first attained each success.
Boost Your self-esteem by enhancing
your life in these six ways
You
can also improve yourself in these ways
1.
Set aside one hour every morning for personal development matters. Meditate,
visualize your day, read inspirational texts to set the tone of your day,
listen to motivational tapes or read great literature. Starting the day off
well is a powerful strategy for self-renewal and personal effectiveness.
2. The quality of your life is the quality of your communication. This
means the way you communicate with others and, more importantly, the way you
communicate with yourself. What you focus on is what you get. If you look for
the positive this is what you get.
3. Light a candle beside you when you are reading in the evening. It is most
relaxing and creates a wonderful, soothing atmosphere.
4. Make your home an oasis from the frenzied world outside. Fill it with great
music, great books and great friends.
5. Learn to be still. The average person doesn't spend even 30 minutes a month
in total silence and tranquility. Develop the skill of sitting quietly,
enjoying the powerful silence for at least 10 minutes a day. Simply think about
what is important to you in your life. Reflect on your mission. Silence
indeed is golden.
6. Associate only with positive focused
people who you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy
with complaining and uninspiring attitudes. By developing relationships
with those committed to constant improvement and the pursuit of the best that
life has to offer, you will have plenty of company on your path to the top of
whatever mountain you seek to climb.
The
second technique is one that works well without having to communicate with
others in a so-called “rude” manner. It
involves a few simple steps. First of
all, realize that you are the only thing that matters in the entire world. Then carry this out. Give no regard to others feelings, plights
unless it has a direct effect on your own, or is in your best interest. This works to relieve all the guilt inside of
you and be smug and sure of yourself.
I think this song may help you remember
to KEEP
YOUR SMUGNESS!
Smug, smug, smug, smug, smug
Smugness for everyone
Yay for smug, yay for smug
Smugness is very fun
Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
I
think this paper by a noted scholar will help in terms of understanding the
historical and philosophical term of the ego
“A Fight for Ego
By: Adam Boumel
From the beginning of time, men
have been very curious about anything that was unexplainable. Men have always been baffled by anything out
of the ordinary, anything not understood.
Ayn Rand depicts this quality wonderfully in her book, Anthem. Anthem tells a tale of the future world, a
world in which the word “I’ does not exist.
Nobody is an individual; everybody is equal in every way. The main character, whose self-given name was
“Prometheus,” dared to go past the boundaries so clearly laid out for him. For this, he was banished from society. But with his separation from the world that
he knew all his life, Prometheus gained a lot spiritually. For the first time in his whole life, he was
able to be self-dependent. He no longer
was told when to wake up, when to eat, when to sleep, etc. Prometheus was finally able to completely
interact with the woman he loved, Gaea. He
had won man’s most prized possession, freedom.
And with freedom, ego too came to Prometheus. He had finally proved what he knew all along,
that there was more to the world and more to life than what he was told. In the story of the Garden of Eden, Adam and
Eve were punished for being disobedient.
They were both presented with a wonderful life and wonderful everything,
but there was just one rule. Adam and
Eve broke that rule, and were prosecuted for it. Their natural instincts of being curious and
disobedient had gotten them into trouble.
Both of these stories deal with the intrigue of the untouchable. Adam and Eve had everything, but they both
wanted just a bite of apple. They were
both banished from the Garden of Eden. But
they too gained from their exile. After
they were banished, they both began to explore the nature of human beings. They started mating, and taking care of
themselves, and so on… When Adam and Eve
got kicked out of the Garden of Eden, they created the world as we know it
today, or at least that’s how the story goes.
In Anthem, there too was a forbidden item. However, it was not a mere fruit. Prometheus’ fruit was in fact knowledge. Prometheus was probably a genius. He didn’t think like all the men in his world. He was very creative and ingenious, and he
wanted more than anything to be self-reliant.
When he snuck away to the subway station and did his experiments, he was
breaking all the rules given to him. When
he created a light bulb all by himself, he thought he would be praised. Instead, he was shunned for working by
himself without authority to do so. In
the story of Adam and Eve, we are told that they ate the forbidden fruit, and
were banished. This story closely
relates to Anthem in the fact that the characters in both stories had clear
rules laid out for them, and the characters broke those rules due to their
natural instincts. Maybe Adam and Eve’s
banishment from the Garden of Eden was not due to them eating the apple. Maybe they too quested for knowledge that
they were not supposed to have. Either
way, Prometheus, Gaea, Adam and Eve all came out on top. Prometheus and Gaea were left in a huge house
on top of a mountain all by themselves. They
were starting a new society, a free society.
Adam and Eve did create their world, our world, which we are a part of
today. So in the end, both couples came
out with something they did not have in their controlling world, they all came
out of it with ego.”
It
is said by leading scientific researchers such as Dr. H.P. Berlington and
Professor Gereth Solomon Cromwell that as the curve of the ego goes up in terms
of direct and in-direct self worth, so does success in terms of personal and
eventually, group as well as the health and mental well being of the individual
and eventually the group as a whole.
Such scientific research in such easy to understand terms should be
clear to anyone. The ascension of the
ego is equal to the direct ascension of the well being of the individual and
eventually, the group. I call this curve
the Thomspon curve of Ego and self worth upwards curve as it upholds to
This curve can be calculated in
EGO=SELF WORTH X INFLATED SELF WORTH ¸ POSITIVE EXTERNAL FEEDBACK –NEGATIVE EXTERNAL FEEDBACK. Or E= SW X ISW ¸ PEF – NEF.
But such equations are not at all
necessary to understand the relative theory and the sum of the whole of the
theory. As the german scientist and
statesman Karl Dauchenswitz said in 1875 “zwei Arme und ein Bein Sind vier Arme
und 2 Eier” or “two arms and a leg are worth four arms and 2 eggs” which means it
is better to be partially handicapped (thus the only one leg) rather than have
a huge amount of extra rescources but be covered in goo where they are not
effective. The detailed meaning can best
be summed up by the French Philosopher and poet Jean Pierre Rauscathaeu said in
1971 “tout le produit de sept fois sept devrait ętre 49 et cinq fois 5 pour
égaler 25 mais je pense qu'ils sont 78 et 3 respectivement parce que je m'avčre
justement ętre ivre outre de mon âne” or “the total product of seven times seven should be 49 and
five times 5 to equal 25 but i think they are 78 and 3 respectively because i
happen to be drunk off my ass”.
Another such equation that can be used
to explain the dynamic curve force of low self esteem could be described as
this. This equation relies on direct and
indirect quasi-emotional curves. Such
curves can be called Thompson Quasi-Emotional Curves. The equation to detect them is this.
Emotional
self worth-Emotional debt+3.57892334.74565 X phases of moon since last
earthquake= Thompson Quasi-Emotional Curve
I
had a chance to talk to Dr. William Haster, a leading mental health expert and
the author of the groundbreaking report “self esteem and the effects on
man”. I met him at conférence sur l'effet de la santé mentale sur le jugement sur la
réalité individuelle or conference on the effect of mental health on the
judgment on the individual reality, a leading mental health conference. When I presented him with my theory, this is
what he had to say.
- “The theory that the ego is good and
humbleness is bad is defiantly not a new one, but how you present it and the
evidence you have in your favor is astounding.
I could not have done better myself.
Especially the equations you have, they simply take my breath away. In my original theories, I stated that
confidence was inherent in all beings from the birth and were simply eroded as
time went by. When I first theorized
this, I was led to believe, along with many of my collegues, that little could
be done to stop this decay. But,
Such
quotes are again not totally necessary to understand the main theme of the
theory and such underlying principals which are trulky in the center of the
universe, and that is, YOU!
I also had the chance to interview
Professor Sven Rollofsen, the Norwegian scholar about the ego and self esteem
and how it contributes to success for everyone!
Dr. Rev. Bryan Thompson- What accomplishments has self worth made to
past civilizations?
Sven Rollofsen- Oh, a great many deal
of accomplishments have been made by the adoration and worship of the ego. Some examples are The Romans, Phoenicians and
Vikings.
BT-
where in the world do you think we would be if people did not have an
Ego?
The truth about ego’s
I
thought it might be best if you could hear other expert’s opinions from their
scientific studies and poetic musings. Lets ask what the psychiatrist Alen Cohn
had to say to me about the well being of the ego at the prestigious Nicolino
Marchachenski conference in
Alen Cohn-
“Has anyone
ever told you that you are selfish? Were you offended? Did you defend and
justify your actions? Did you walk away feeling insulted?
I have been
rethinking selfishness, the ego, and self-centeredness. In some schools of
thought these are dirty words, nasty attributes to be subdued, transmuted, and
overcome. But maybe they’re not so bad. Maybe it’s all how you look at them.
Baseball star
Reggie Jackson said, "The only thing I don’t like about the World Series
is that I can’t watch myself play." Now this statement sure sounds
egotistical. But maybe it’s an admirable form of ego. Maybe the guy really
likes and appreciates himself. Maybe this kind of self-appreciation is what
made Reggie Jackson a sports superhero. Perhaps if you and I received that much
enjoyment out of what we do and we were willing to state it openly, we would be
superheroes in our own right. Maybe we are already superheroes, but we have not
been ready to claim and make a stand for our greatness.
Shakespeare
declared, "Self-loving is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting."
Most of the people I know suffer more from self-neglect than from self-loving.
Hilda Charlton, a mystic with whom I studied for many years, suggested that
everyone in the world has veered from peace in one of two ways: through
arrogance or a sense of unworthiness. Yet the arrogant suffer from the greatest
feelings of unworthiness, for those who impose themselves on others are
motivated by an inner sense of lack and powerlessness. Can you imagine how
empty Hitler must have felt to have to destroy others to get his way?
Sometimes
people in my seminars protest, "But if I do the things I really want to
do, I am afraid I will become self-centered and obnoxious." No, I tell
them, you will become self-empowered, happy, and a delight to be around. You
will have so much energy, prosperity, health, and well-being that you will be
in the best possible position to support others and serve them in the most
powerful way. The highest form of selfishness leads to the highest form of
service. Most people on the spiritual path have a long way to go before they
become egotists. Many of us could use a good dose of egotism.
Teaching on
the spiritual circuit for many years has afforded me the opportunity to observe
many of the most popular and highly-regarded teachers, authors, therapists, and
gurus on the planet. Many of them are blazing egotists, high-maintenance
celebrities with long lists of demands of those who promote and surround them.
Some of them, from a clinical standpoint, would be judged to have serious
personality disorders. Yes, that brilliant person whose book you just paid $25
to read, and whose seminar you just paid thousands of dollars to attend, is
extremely self-involved. Some such leaders must run the wherever they go, and
no one else gets to get a word in edgewise.
Now here is
what I have also noticed: These people are also extremely self-confident. They
recognize that their ideas are good and they have a lot to offer. They are not
busy trying to please people or say the politically correct thing. Some of them
don’t care at all if you like them. They care about expressing themselves. They
care about making a stand for what they believe. They care about the service
organization they are building to help orphans or the dying or AIDS patients or
the disadvantaged. They care so much about themselves that they are inspiring
other people to care about themselves.
Personally, I
think egotistical teachers are ahead of the game. I think they are happier and
get more accomplished than a bunch of wimpy self-flagellators hoping God will
still love me if I eat Fritos. And yes, I write from my own experience. I
remember walking the streets of
Now lets hear what what Millionaire Tad McFowwell

The
great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist
in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many
of those who fail most ignominiously do enough to achieve grand success but
they labor haphazardly at whatever they are assigned, building up with one hand
to tear down with the other. They do not grasp circumstances and change them
into opportunities. They have no faculty for turning honest defeats into
telling victories. With ability enough and ample time, the major ingredients of
success, they are forever throwing back and forth an empty shuttle and the real
web of their life is never woven.-- Og

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because
then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your
life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your
fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make
yourself a happier and more productive person.-- Dr. David M. Burns

Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of

learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because,
remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side.--Thomas J. Watson

at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it
and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his
body. Memory and imagination help him as he works. Not only his own thoughts,
but the thoughts of the men of past ages guide his hands; and, as part of the
human race, he creates. If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be
happy and eventful. --
William Morris
The
highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes
by it.-- John Ruskin
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the
work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in --that we
do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as
possible. -- Mother Teresa
You
don't grow up in our neck of the woods believing that someone can outwork you.
-- Joseph Parkinson
No
one can arrive from being talented alone. God gives talent; work transforms
talent into genius. -- Anna
Pavlova
I
don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must
know it has got to get down to work.-- Pearl
S. Buck
I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work
hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman,
there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win--if you don't you won't.--
Bruce Jenner
Work relieves us from three great evils, boredom, vice, and want. -- French Proverb
While
a person gets they can never lose. --
Scottish Proverb
The
intellectual equipment needed for the job of the future is an ability to define
problems, quickly assimilate relevant data, conceptualize and reorganize the
information, make deductive and inductive leaps with it, ask hard questions
about it, discuss findings with colleagues, work collaboratively to find
solutions and then convince others. --
Robert B. Reich
I
never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings,
and strictly honest who complained of bad luck.-- Henry Ward Beecher
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I
live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.--
George Bernard Shaw
If work were nice, the rich would not have left it to the poor.-- Haitian proverb
When I think of work, it's mostly about having control over your destiny, as
opposed to being at the mercy of what's out there. --
If
you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work.
Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities.
The thing is to get the work done.-- Dale
Carnegie
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you
should leave your work.-- Kahlil
Gibran
No matter how big or soft or warm your beds is, you still have to get out of
it. -- Grace Slick
Working
hard overcomes a whole lot of other obstacles. You can have unbelievable
intelligence, you can have connections, you can have opportunities fall out of
the sky. But in the end, hard work is the true, enduring characteristic of
successful people.-- Rear
Admiral Marsha Evans
Inspiration
usually comes during work, rather than before it.-- Madeleine L'Engle
The
reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than
work.-- Robert Frost
The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether
you are happy or not. The cure is occupaton.-- George Bernard Shaw
There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the
credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.-- Indira Gandhi
Success is dependent upon the glands--sweat glands.-- Zig Ziglar
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his
pleasure.-- George Sand
Work
joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will
inevitably bring about right results.-- James
Allen
Pennies do not come from heaven -- they have to be earned here on earth. -- Margaret Thatcher
Hereyay,
hereyay! Read all about it in the New Times Times -- Moemar Zambinio
In
finalization of this book, I would like to thank you, my loyal reader. Me?
Thanking you? I must be off my

typographical error nor any glitch in my mind.
