Yes. Yet despite this explanation, the ego is very complicated. Lust can be proud, and pride can be lustful.

We utilize paradigms such as the seven principal defects or deadly sins because they help us approach ourselves at the initial level. However, for comprehension to be deep, we must not label, but go beyond such labels to see each defect as it really is, as well as how they interact.

Therefore, the answer is: observe yourself to develop structural and transactional analyses. When we are vigilant, we can discover how our ego attacks, whether it is through pride and lust in relation to specific ordeals, circumstances, etc.

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
