| energy does not flow smoothly through. If the ego is over-tight, anxious, too rigid and self-willed, again | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |

| in the life beyond the confines of the ego, in the life that is free, where consciousness | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| becomes deed. It is only in the human ego that thought seems separate from form and deed | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |

| that the self is annihilated the moment the ego is not the sole ruler of human life | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| life. Hence, when you identify exclusively with the ego, you can neither identify with the greater consciousness | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| identify with your being that extends beyond the ego consciousness. The tight ego structure says: It is | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |

| personality levels we may call: (1) the conscious ego level, with all conscious knowing and willing; (2 | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| in human life. In effective meditation the conscious ego level activates both the unconscious, egotistical, destructive self | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| of alertness on the part of your conscious ego self. The conscious ego must be completely determined | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| part of your conscious ego self. The conscious ego must be completely determined to allow the unconscious | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| so that on the surface of consciousness the ego becomes almost convinced of being the idealized self-image | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| situations that are unpleasant or unsatisfactory. The conscious ego has to reach down and say, Whatever is | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| may be incapable of accomplishing this, but the ego can and must meditate to request the higher | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| begins to express itself more freely because the ego allows it and receives it as an interested | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| by step. The interaction is threefold. The observing ego must initially want it and commit itself to | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| universal self. When the infant reveals itself, the ego should again ask for the help of the | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| The little self wants to seduce the conscious ego to stay within the narrow confines of neurotic | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| capitulation, which always cover unexpressed hatred. The conscious ego must prevent this stratagem using all its knowledge | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| on it all the knowledge of your conscious ego. If this is not sufficient, request the powers | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| capacities, but also the limitations of the conscious ego. On the conscious level the ego's function is | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| thought through. There is meditation in which the ego is made totally passive and will-less and the | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| accepting and understanding attitude that enables the conscious ego to assert its benign dominion over violently destructive | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |

| its direct refusal to budge. When the conscious ego does not recognize that there is a part | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| is a threefold communication and confrontation: from the ego toward the destructive self and from the ego | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| ego toward the destructive self and from the ego toward the universal self, so that the universal | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| that the universal self can affect both the ego and the destructive self. Your own sensitivity will | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| These concepts must be fostered by the conscious ego, and the universal consciousness must intervene to help | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| opposed to an old, limiting one. When the ego deals with both other universes to establish a | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| you will steadily move closer to unifying the ego level and the universal self. This is powerful | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| the universe. If change is obstructed by the ego, the part of the consciousness that directs the | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| that change cannot be executed only by the ego. The willing, conscious self alone is incapable of | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| the same coin: absolute passivity. But the pushing ego, attempting to go beyond its own capacity, must | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| and say, I want to change, but my ego cannot do it. God will do it through | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| shame; and the receptive attitude in which the ego knows its own limitations. In this receptive attitude | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| will sense an awakened trust that the conscious ego is not alone. It is not the only | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| become in shaping your fate -- not through ego control but through your real capacity to create | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| act that comes through the determination of the ego will. It is more mechanical and laborious, requiring | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |

| all your available energy and power into this ego, you must fail. But when you can allow | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| function. The tight selfwill of the little, ineffective ego is strengthened in order to ward off the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| two levels of consciousness in your being. The ego can then actively ally itself with the divine | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| finally eliminates the strong wall that separates your ego from the greater reality. Meditation can be applied | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |

| preoccupation with everything that sustains and cultivates the ego: pride, selfwill, fear, vanity, separateness, duality, in sum | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| these erroneous, illusory attitudes are part of the ego consciousness and keep out the awareness of who | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |

| Then there is no more wall, no more ego: you are the divine consciousness. You no longer | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |

| For example, if you exclusively identify with the ego -- that conscious, willing, acting part of you | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| about by the very limited functions of the ego. One must be identified with a deeper, broader | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| change. Any profound change comes about by the ego committing itself to wanting the change, and trusting | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| failure would drive home the powerlessness of the ego in too unpleasant a way. Thus it is | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| my dear ones. 199. THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE Greetings. Blessed be all of | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| domain, constitutes the Pathwork -- any valid pathwork. Ego means fragmentation. As I mentioned, it is the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| that in the limited state of the separated ego, enlargement appears, contrary to reality, to be annihilation | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| gradually that there is another life beyond the ego state. You then find out that this other | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| ever-increasing joy. You find out that the limited ego state you have so ardently protected is an | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| come easily, nor gratuitously. Remaining in the isolated ego state may appear safe and easy, but it | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| stagnation and death -- ever recurring death. The ego uses any number of tricks in order to | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| them to you. In the first place, the ego uses every conceivable negativity known to humanity; any | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| selfwill, and fear, I shall show how the ego uses these traits to avoid self- transcendence. The | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| uses these traits to avoid self- transcendence. The ego fears losing its present state, meaning its self-awareness | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the fear displaces the instinct of self-preservation. The ego misuses this instinct to preserve its present awareness | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| Fear always distorts truth and reality. Thus the ego maintains itself with pride. It maintains its separateness | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| use this as a wedge between your own ego and those of others, is completely missing the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| category of pride; they are tricks of the ego to maintain its limited state. Selfwill comprises stubbornness | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| falsifies reality, denying all desirable life experience. Other ego tricks that serve to maintain its present safe | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| states is obviously also a trick of the ego. This is a well-known phenomenon applying to all | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| easy to observe. More such tricks of the ego are: inattentiveness, lack of concentration, abstractedness, absent-mindedness. These | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| These attitudes prevent the focusing necessary for the ego to transcend itself. To transcend its present limited | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| itself. To transcend its present limited state, the ego requires a good deal of one-pointed focusing, of | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| tiredness, and passivity are, too, tricks of the ego. They make movement impossible, undesirable, and exhausting. We | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| directly perpetuate isolation and are therefore used as ego tricks to deny oneness with others. Negative reactions | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| negativity of others is another trick of the ego to maintain its isolation. The moment negativity appears | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the ego's expansion, which would effect self-transcendence. The ego denies the joyousness of true being by making | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| part of the general fear that makes the ego wish to remain immobile and resort to trickery | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| caused by fear is the motivating force, the ego simultaneously uses the distrust as a trick to | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| trick to stop the movement toward union. The ego assumes a preposterous and paradoxical position. It is | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| present limited state. It is self-evident that the ego can see only what is within its present | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| to varying degrees, limited and falsified. Hence the ego sees and experiences only finiteness: the disconnected, meaningless | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| can alter only to the degree that the ego overcomes the temptation to stay put. But the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| stay put. But the paradoxical position of the ego is that it fights to remain in the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| it cannot be dissolved as long as the ego remains within its present narrow confines. Sooner or | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| a force that must always exist until the ego gives up its resistance. In spite of the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| death impossible. This is the sickness of the ego state and the perversion of it -- to | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| for an understanding of, how to transcend the ego, and what that really means. Isolation and separateness | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| ironic; tragic because unnecessary, and ironic because the ego clings to what it hates and what hurts | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| As long as all the tricks of the ego are acted out, rationalized, denied, perpetuated and nurtured | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| must be used for stringent recognition of the ego tricks and against giving in to them. This | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| always a step beyond a known territory. The ego has evolved to its present state, which varies | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| operation. To widen the fences around the fragmented ego, to bring in more reality from the world | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| hardships of the learning process. Only when the ego has learned the more mechanical aspects of this | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the new acquisitions a spontaneous, living, effortless experience. Ego means effort; spiritual self means effortlessness. This desirable | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| magic, however, for this would mean that the ego is not being transcended but avoided. The ego | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| ego is not being transcended but avoided. The ego must change its lazy, resistant attitudes in order | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| to unify with the cosmic, greater self. The ego must lay the arduous groundwork until the real | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| be learned until they become part of the ego; if a mental task, mental knowledge has first | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| demonstrates the identical principles. As mentioned before, the ego must learn and adopt attitudes compatible with the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| self is blocked off to the degree the ego is blindly involved in its negativity, including laziness | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| becomes possible. The arduous task of making the ego flexible always comes first: teaching it, bending, changing | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| is the beauty of the spiritual path. The ego is under the illusion that to stay in | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| remain still longer in the status quo. The ego uses the results of its own errors as | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| this harmony has been established by reorienting the ego. You then move within the rhythm of your | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| itself from the whole. When I speak of ego, I do not wish to imply that it | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| should be totally negated, denied, and insulted. The ego is part of divine consciousness and holds all | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| misused. The basic energy and consciousness of the ego is made of the same substance with which | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| same substance with which you ultimately reunite. The ego must be healthy in order to venture beyond | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| creative potential. In order to do this, the ego must adopt attitudes compatible with its original nature | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| its original nature. All the tricks of the ego, all the negativity and evil that are embedded | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| and evil that are embedded only in the ego, have to be recognized with a very incisive | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the little self. Only when you use your ego consciousness to put the strong light of truth | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
