Ego Treats
Ego treats are rewards and acknowledgements of things accomplished. Technically Ego Treats do go against the Principle of Humility, but as social beings we do sometimes need some recognition for work accomplished and great accomplishments do deserve recognition. One can accept reward in the spirit that in doing so one is inspiring others to accomplish great things. But one must always keep in mind that this planet is still a speck of dust and not indulge in inflated self importance.

Ego Treats however are very addicting and can lead you towards being controlled by the Cult Mind. They can and are used as a tool to control others and it makes you dependent on your manipulators if you develop an appetite for Masturbating the Ego. So Ego Treats can be compared to eating candy. You can have a little when you are good, but don't get fat on it.
