“Every writer knows that unless you were born gifted with either supreme confidence or outsize ego, handing in your work holds, in some cases, admitted terror.

“Although I have no objection to accepting the existence of relatively constant psychic contents that survive personal ego, it must always be born in mind that we have no way of knowing what these contents are actually like "as such." All we can observe is their effect on other living people, whose spiritual level and whose personal unconscious crucially influence the way these contents actually manifest themselves.” PeopleWayMindSpiritualBornLevelsExistenceAcceptingKnowingInfluenceEffectsEgoConstantUnconsciousManifestPsychicsObjections Author:Wolfgang Pauli

“...Bliss is not something to be got. On the other hand you are always Bliss. This desire [for Bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness. To whom is this sense of incompleteness? Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful. Now you are not so. What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss? It is the ego. Seek its source and find you are Bliss.” HandsDesireBornSleepSourceEgoBlissIncompletenessDeep Sleep Book:Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi Source: Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi

“The body is born. Birth and death only have to do with the body. Ego also relates only to the body. Similarly, reincarnation relates only to the body. Do not think of the body. Think of the Atma.

“Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.” HumansWholeBigsFoundBornViewsRaceMorningBabyEgoClothesRedWeakWake UpGlassesSuitsHuman RaceCharacteristicsCowardCostumesBlanketCritiqueUnsureKentAlter EgoKill Bill Author:Quentin Tarantino

“The truest mark of being born with great qualities is being born without envy. Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld That awareness is my teaching. Never fight with greed, ego, anger, jealousy, hatred - all those enemies that the religions have been telling you, 'Fight with them, crush them, kill them. You cannot kill them, you cannot crush them, you cannot fight with them; all that you can do is just be aware of them.' And the moment you are aware, they are gone. In the light, the darkness simply disappears.” Has BeensMomentsLightFightingCan DoBornQualityEnemyDarknessGoneTeachingAwarenessEgoHatredMarkGreedEnvyDisappearJealousyCrushTruestGreat QualitiesYour Jealous Author:Rajneesh

“Once you are afraid of death you are bound to be afraid of life. That`s why I am talking about this Hasidic approach. The whole approach consists of methods, ways and means of how to die - the art of dying is the art of living also.

“Rebirth is an affirmation that must be counted among the primordial affirmations of mankind. The concept of rebirth necessarily implies the continuity of personality. Here the human personality is regarded as continuous and accessible to memory, so that, when one is incarnated or born, one is able, potentially, to remember that one has lived through previous existences, and that these existences were one's own, ie, they had the same ego form as the present life. As a rule, reincarnation means rebirth in a human body.” HumansMeanBodyAbleRememberFormBornMemoriesExistenceMankindPersonalityEgoConceptsReincarnationAffirmationRebirthHuman BodyContinuityHuman PersonalityPresent Life Author:Carl Jung
“Try to understand the ego. Analyze it, dissect it, watch it, observe it, from as many angles as possible.

“The child is born with a Self but not with an ego. The child develops the ego. As he becomes more and more social and related, ego develops. This ego is just on your periphery where you are related with others - just on the boundary of your being. So ego is the periphery of your being, and Self is the center. The child is born with a Self, but unaware. He is a Self, but he is not conscious of the Self.” ChildrenSelfSocialBornEgoConsciousBoundariesRelatedWhere You ArePeriphery Author:Rajneesh
“We're all born with an ego - it's a natural part of who we are here. We're only completely without it in death. Fighting against this during life only creates more self-judgment.

This is when it stops being an issue, and your humility and magnificence really shine through.” SelfAbleFightingBornNaturalAcceptingIssuesHumilityEgoShiningJudgementWho We ArePlusMagnificence Author:Anita Moorjani
