Subject: [K-list] Re: Ego> In the interest of moving the ego thread along, let's look at some
definitions
> of ego:
>
> >From webster (http://www.m-w.com):
> --
> Etymology: New Latin, from Latin, I -- more at I
> Date: 1789
> 1 : the self especially as contrasted with another self or the world
> 2 a : EGOTISM 2 b : SELF-ESTEEM 1
> 3 : the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory
> that serves as the organized conscious mediator between the person
> and reality especially by functioning both in the perception of and
> adaptation to reality -- compare ID, SUPEREGO
> --
>
> >From "An Introduction to Jung" (http://www.mageist.net/jungintro.html):
> --
> In the Freudian conceptualization, ego refers to a psychic structure which
> mediates between society (superego) and instinctual drives (id). Jung's
usage is
> in contrast to this. For Jung the ego can be understood in a much more
dynamic,
> relative, (and fragile) way as a complex, a feeling-toned group of
> representations of oneself that has both conscious and unconscious aspects
and
> is at the same time personal and collective. Simply put, too simply
perhaps, the
> ego is how one sees oneself, along with the conscious and unconscious
feelings
> that accompany that view (Hopcke, 1989, p. 77).
>
> The ego, as one complex (see below) among many, is not seen by Jungians as
the
> goal of psychological development. As the carrier of the individual's
> consciousness, it is the task of the ego to become aware of its own
limitations,
> to see its existence as only a small island -- though an essential one --
in the
> much greater ocean of the personal and collective unconscious.
>
> A major part of the ego's task -- and a major goal of psychotherapy -- is
to
> develop an appropriate relationship with what Jung termed the Self, the
> archetype of wholeness. The Self can be understood as the central
organizing
> principle of the psyche, that fundamental and essential aspect of human

whole

> Bear with me, it gets better. From "Kundalini Yoga", by Sri Swami
Sivananda:

> When meditation becomes intensified, in the ocean of Existence or rather
the

water
> let on a frying pan is immediately sucked and vanishes from cognition, the
> individual consciousness is sucked by the Universal Consciousness and is

a
> state of multiplicity, and the state of complete Oneness is the goal to be
> aspired for, towards which alone the entire creation is slowly moving on.
