Vernon Howard
From Wiki:
"He taught that there is a way out of suffering, and advocated self-honesty, persistence, the study and application of spiritual principles, and a sincere desire for inner change. He explained that a new and higher inner life is found through releasing the negative conditioned ego, which he described as the "false self". He claimed that this new life can only be found through awareness, and that the human ego is a barrier to this awareness. Thus, he advocated that inner liberation was a ridding process. He taught that the false self was fictitious, a collection of self-images or pictures about who we think we are."
