No, at core is the axiom that the ego is a "contraction of the divine". If one chooses to accept that axiom then one will see the world one way. If one chooses not to accept that axiom then one will see the world in another way. The problem is that one cannot argue such premises because they are the unproven assumptions upon which a system of reasoning rests. Hence neither choice is "correct" or "incorrect" in any absolute sense. One can however discuss why one chooses to adopt a particular set of axioms for a particular purpose. For example, spherical geometry is not "superior" to Euclidean geometry but it has its advantages if one is trying to navigate on the surface of the earth.
