Ego

From Keywen


The ego is a beggar. It is always wanting something for itself. [1]

The ego is a control source in the sense that a semiconductor is. [2]

Ego is the key to the Divine Names, which are hidden treasures. [3]

The ego is a creation of the personal self, meaning the corporeal-self. [4]

The Ego is a reproduction of the Monad, the Personality is a reflection of the Ego. [5]

Ego is the pseudo soul, the individualized consciousness of the soul under the spell of delusion. [6]

The ego is a function of individual mind, it cannot be separated from mind, so it also "died" at the time of merging. [7]

The ego is what Dr Peter Grünwald, in his helpful foreword, calls 'the essential kernel of the human being'. [8]

And ego must be in a balanced state. [15]

The other is that now the ego will find the non-ego once more. [18]

For this atman, this self, this ego in the 'I say' and in the 'I will' is an illusion. [20]

But they can only be regarded as daimonic in relation to the rational ego. [21]

The Adult ego state is about direct responses to the here and now. [22]

They were superego, ego, id. The superego was, for Freud, the voice of a person's conscience. [23]

So we – an outer ego, primary construction, and body-mind – in turn create pseudo-forms. [24]

Or, to use another simile, physical man is the musical instrument, and the Ego the performing artist. [25]

It is the presence and power of the ego which enables a man to choose between desires and to overcome them. [26]

REINCARNATING EGO

Coincidently does the reincarnating ego slowly begin to reawaken to self-conscious activity. [27]

The part which aspires upwards towards the buddhi and ultimately joins it is the higher human ego or reincarnating ego. [28]

The reincarnating ego is at times loosely used to signify either atma-buddhi-manas as a monadic unity or, on the other hand, the higher manas. [29]

In human beings the reincarnating ego is a ray of a spiritual monad, whose self-consciousness and activity takes in the solar system. [30]

HUMAN EGO

The human ego is a projection of the monad. [31]

It is the vehicle of the human ‘ I ,’ of the human Ego. [32]

The part which is attracted below and is mortal is the lower human ego. [33]

PERSONALITY

Woe indeed, for nothing will remain of that personality to be recorded on the imperishable tablets of the Ego's memory. [34]

The tiny fragment of the ego, which is put down into the personality, is the point of consciousness which clairvoyants can see moving about in the man. [35]

SOUL

He is composed of himself, the human soul, or human ego. [36]

One of the names given to the human higher Ego. [37]

This Ego it is which is the actor, the real man, the true human self. [38]

The lower or intermediate duad, the human soul or personal ego. [39]

So it would seem the spiritual Soul never leaves the Ego thru all circumstances. [40]

Amongst the modern scholars Laing, more than any other, underlined the aspect of the virtual alien Ego when referring to the robotization of the human Ego. [41]

DEATH

Ego death Ego death is a change in one's sense of self-control. [42]

LSD brings ego death together with loss of control. [43]

Remember, first, that the human ego after death sleeps its devachanic dreams, that it enters a state of devachan. [44]

EGOIC

Contrast with later songs that dwell on the problematic nature of ego and egoic self-control. [45]

CAUSAL BODY or SOUL BODY - This body is the Ego, Soul or Higher Self, the centre of egoic consciousness. [46]

BECOMES

What began as a set of millisecond delays becomes an alter ego. [47]

When the astral body is overcome and transformed by the ego it becomes the spirit-self. [48]

INDIVIDUAL

This is presented as an ideal for the strengthening of the individual ego power. [49]

Yet every ego's devachan is individual to itself, both as regards character and time-length. [50]

PERMANENT

It is the permanent individuality or the reincarnating Ego. [51]

The causal body is the permanent vehicle of the ego in the higher mental world. [52]

LANGUAGE EGO

Soothing them is helping to postpone evolutionary changes to language ego itself. [53]

Guiora also stresses that the primary measurement of the state of language ego boundary is authentic language pronunciation. [54]

So we can see that language ego permeability and ego in the meditative tradition are virtually similar in their respective functions. [55]

INTELLECT

The Ego, therefore, is not the body, not the soul, not the intellect, not the will, not consciousness, not life. [56]

F F ~ Unification of the basic qualities of the spirit, i.e., will-power, intellect and feeling, as ego-consciousness. [57]

EGO DOES

The personal ego does everything of itself; that is, it thinks it does. [58]

The real Ego does not think as his evanescent and temporary personality does. [59]

PRIDE

Yet the pride and arrogance of the human ego can't handle this. [60]

But the competitive ego should not be confused with divine pride. [61]

ULTIMATE

The Ego, therefore, is more basic and ultimate than the mind itself. [62]

How do I know? Power is sometimes lent: my desire was for Knowledge, then by lightning coincidence I beheld the amazing vision of ultimate Ego. [63]

EGO

The Super-ego wonders what happened. [64]

Most commonly, ego, memory and control are weak or absent. [65]

All the lower vehicles, not being witness, can report only what they may receive from the ego. [69]

This expression of the Monad, on the planes of Âtma., Buddhi and manas, is the ego, or individuality. [70]

The Ego, in turn, consists of three aspects (Atma, Buddhi, and Manas) which are manifestations of the Monad. [71]

He may respond to either suggestion--that he is the feeble ego or that he is the divine Overself; it is a matter of where he puts his faith. [72]
