 All the constructs that society has imposed or slapped on are deconstructed step by step, whether it be education, whether it be family, whether it be concepts of truth and lies and ideas of beauty, ideas of what you feel life owes you, all of those things are broken down. And that is what is called the dark night of the ego, because the ego is dying and it doesn't want to die and the more it can feel itself being brought to its own funeral pyre, the more it kicks and screams and yells and is fighting to survive.
