Notes

"The opening psychic often falls prey to ego when it is assumed that only he/she can 'see' or 'heal,'..."[1]

When speaking about the significance and reality of mental influence over a distance, one researcher, Jule Eisenbud, U.S. psychiatrist, noted that his success at the experiments has "triggered infantile desires for power, for omnipotence, for control over others..." [2]

Ego inflation contributes to and exacerbates already existing narcissism, sometimes to the point of psychosis.

Ego inflation exacerbates the Dunning-Kruger effect.
