is you is or is you ain't my ego...

[Guest guest]

Satsanghers;

 

 

 

 

Transersonal psychologist and philosopher, Michael Washburn has written

an excellent book entitled <underline>The Ego And The Dynamic

Ground</underline>.

 

 

He offers valuable insight and analysis of the nature of the ego and

the activity of disidentifying the ego as the ground of one's Being.

He proposes that the ego is never lost, per se, that it always remains

as an essential mechanism for personality, but that one loses the sense

of the ego as the ground or source of consciousness. This re-cognition

of the 'Dynamic Ground', (Washburn's term), leads to a complete

reorientation of the personality's structure of relationships: to

thoughts, feelings, emotions, indeed, all perceptual phenomenon.

 

 

This reorientation of personality is based on the the displacement of

the ground of selfhood from the personal to the transpersonal, or

unconditioned Source. However, both the experience of the Source and

its integration into personality differs somewhat as it is apprehended

by the personality.

 

 

Anyway, some good reading.
