“The instinct that pulls us toward art is the impulse to evolve, to learn, to heighten and elevate our consciousness. The Ego hates this. Because the more awake we become, the less we need the Ego.” NeedsArtHateConsciousnessEgoArt IsInstinctEvolveImpulseAwake Book:The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles Source: The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
“...The Western 'God-image' is a representation of the collective unconscious, an archetype of the psyche that undergoes a continual process of transformation...The God image evolves through its relationship to humanity. Whoever knows God has an effect on 'him'. For the individual, knowing God, is the process of recognizing and assimilating the pressured and paradoxical contents of the self, which come to consciousness- seek incarnation- within the ego.” KnowsSelfHumanityIndividualProcessConsciousnessKnowingEffectsEgoTransformationWesternInsightEvolveUnconsciousCollectivesRepresentationRecognizingKnowing GodIncarnationParadoxicalGod ImageArchetypePressuredCollective Unconscious Author:Carl Jung
“We're still growing into that place of higher consciousness; we are becoming a global conscience.

“Central to Jungian psychology is the concept of "individuation," the process whereby a person discovers and evolves his Self, as opposed to his ego. The ego is a persona, a mask created and demanded by everyday social interaction, and, as such, it constitutes the center of our conscious life, our understanding of ourselves through the eyes of others. The Self, on the other hand, is our true center, our awareness of ourselves without outside interference, and it is developed by bringing the conscious and unconscious parts of our minds into harmony.” MindPersonsSelfHandsEyeSocialProcessUnderstandingPsychologyAwarenessEgoConsciousConceptsHarmonyEverydayEvolveUnconsciousMaskInteractionPersonaInterferenceThrough The EyesSocial InteractionIndividuationConscious And Unconscious Author:Morris Berman

“The thought of both East and West (philosophies) can indeed be integrated into a higher truth. They show us that the West is correct in maintaining that life is about progress about evolving toward something higher. Yet the East is also correct in emphasizing that we must let go of control with the ego. We can't progress by using logic alone. We have to attain a fuller consciousness, an inner connection with God, because only then can our evolution toward something better be guided by a higher part of ourselves.” PhilosophyShowsLife IsConsciousnessProgressEvolutionHigherLetting GoEgoConnectionsLogicWestEastEvolveMaintainingSomething BetterIntegratedSelf ConsciousnessEast And WestCelestine Prophecy Author:James Redfield
“One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. They literally force the evolution of language. You cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. So if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. The great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. It boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.” IfsThinkingWayMindRealFeelingsCultureLanguageForceConsciousnessAttitudeDevelopmentEvolutionEgoOne WayFasterLegacyEvolvePermanentExpansionCatalystAccelerateEgo TripDoing Your Own ThingPermanent ThingsLanguage DevelopmentEvolution Of Language Author:Terence McKenna

“So, the path of the co-creator is to be awakened spiritually within, which then turns into your own deeper life purpose, which then makes you want to reach out and touch others in a way that expresses self and really evolves our communities and our world. Certainly, we can't do that unless we activate ourselves first. That's why, for me, emergence is the shift from ego to essence. That is so important.” WorldWayWantFirstsImportantSelfPurposeTurnsCommunityPathEgoEssenceCreatorDeeperEvolveOur WorldPurpose Of LifeReach OutAwakenedOur CommunityEmergenceActivate Author:Barbara Marx Hubbard
“The term "self" seems a suitable one for the unconscious substrate whose actual exponent in consciousness is the ego. The ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors that radiate outward from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. The self, like the unconscious, as an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves. It is, so to speak, an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. It is not I who create myself; rather, I happen to myself.” SelfSeemsHappensSpeakSidesTermConsciousnessPsychologySubjectsObjectsEgoMovedFactorsEvolveUnconsciousSurroundSuitableExponents Author:Carl Jung
