Thank you for your interesting question - I personally take the !-ego as who does the journey to discover his or her true identity. In this I follow the philosopher Srinivas Arka. In other words the "I ego" - or "1-ego-awareness" (Arka 2009) is part of greater consciousness. In my thesis I talk about this and also in some of my publications
Thesis UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE HEART THROUGH MEDITATING ON THE SELF
Article Experiencing Peace Through Heart-Based Meditation on The Self
Hernando Bernal - thanks for the link, but I can read it only in english. Is there an english version?
Dear Tina Lindhard, I'll go through your texts - the theme about connection with the Self is important nowadays. I agree that Ego is part of greater consciousness - Carl Jung, Roberto Assagioli, Rudolf Steiner and many thinkers put this thesis in the center of their works.
But now I'm searching how modern science sees the "Ego" - It's difficult to find phenomenological theories, 'cause most of them are postulated in methodological view of "american positivism" ; "reductionism" ; "elementalism" and etc. which are unfortunately still famous in scientific thinking but actually too insufficient.
