\"If you explore what you love when you say you love yourself, you will make the startling discovery that everything you love is something which you thought was other than yourself. Even if it be very ordinary things such as ice cream. Or uhh, booze. Uh, in the conventional sense, booze is not you. Nor is ice cream. It certainly it turns into you in a manner of speaking when you consume it. But then you don't have it anymore. And so you look around for more in order to love it once again. But, so long as you love it you see it's never you. When you love people, you know however selfishly you love them, because of the pleasant sensations they give to you. Still uh, it is somebody else that you love. And as you inquire into this, as you follow honestly your own selfishness, many interesting transformations begin to come about in you. One of the most interesting transformations of being directly and honestly selfish in the same way that for example cats are, is that you stop deceiving people. A great deal of damage is done in practical human relations, by saying that you love people. When what you mean is that you aught to.... and so you begin to realize that if your collective ego, or yourself, depends on your being on the in, but you can only be on the in with relation to something that is out. And since the in and the out are inseparable if there is to be any in or any out, you suddenly discover that yourself is bigger than you thought it was. It uh, includes the other. And you can't do without it. This brings about a fundamental change in the understanding of the meaning and nature of self.\"
