"[The ego-Self] axis is the gateway or path of communication between the conscious personality and the archetypal psyche. Damage to [it] impairs or destroys the connection between conscious and unconscious." Edinger: Ego and Archetype p 3

"Since the Self is the central archetype, it subordinates all other archetypal dominants. It surrounds and contains them." Edinger: Ego and Archetype p 38

"The Self as the center and totality of the psyche which is able to reconcile all opposites and be considered as the organ of acceptance par excellence." Edinger: Ego and Archetype p 40

"...the experience of the supporting aspect of the archetypal psyche is most likely to occur when the ego has exhausted its own resources and is aware of its essential impotence by itself." Edinger: Ego and Archetype p 50

"If when the individual is thrown back on himself through the loss of a projected religious value, he is able to confront the ultimate questions of life that are posed for him, he may be able to use this opportunity for a decisive development in consciousness." Edinger: Ego and Archetype p 58

"Whenever man consciously encounters a divine agency which assists, commands or directs, we can understand it as an encounter of the ego with the Self." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p70

" 'The important thing is what (a man) talks about, not whether he agrees with it on not' C.G. Jung CW Vol 5 p99" Edinger, Ego and Archetype p76

"The knowledge that a psychological meaning exists is acquired only by experience" Edinger, Ego and Archetype p80

"Apparently the Self needs conscious realization and is obliged by the individuation urge to tempt and test the ego in order to bring about full ego-awareness of the Self's existence." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p80

"We all have an underlying resentment against fate and reality which is a residue of inflation....There are symptoms of inflation which will not grant the existence of a greater reality than one's personal desires." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p96

"...The individuation urge promotes a state in which the ego is related to the Self with out being identified with it...(then) there emerges a more or less continuous dialogue between the conscious ego and the unconscious and also between the outer and inner experiences." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 94

"To be primitive in our relation to the outer world is to be superstitious; but to be primitive in relation to the inner world of the psyche is to be wise." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 101

' "God is the name by which I designate all things which cross my willful path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans and intentions and change the course of my life for better or worse' C.G. Jung Good Housekeeping Magazine 1961' " Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 101

"For the Self-connected man ....chance does not exist." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 101

"The Prima Materia is our ego-Self identity, the residue of original inflation. To submit the Prima Materia to the Alchemical Process means to apply conscious effort and attention to the task of refining and separating this composite mixture to the end that the Self will be freed from its contamination with the ego." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 102

"The repetitive cycle of inflation and alienation is superseded by the conscious process of individuation when awareness of the reality of the ego-Self axis occurs" Edinger, Ego& Archetype p 103

"...the ego, while clearly separated from the archetypal psyche ["the symbol"] is open and receptive to the effects of symbolic imagery. A kind of conscious dialogue between the ego and emerging symbols becomes possible. The symbol is then able to perform its proper function as releaser and transformer of psychic energy with full participation of conscious understanding." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p 110

[Concretistic] ""[when] the ego [is] identified with "the symbol"... the symbolic image will be lived out concretely. Ego and archetypal psyche will be one...the individual is unable to distinguish symbols of the archetypal psyche from concrete, external reality. Inner symbolical images are experienced as being real, external facts...There is a danger.. to apply a symbolic image to external physical facts for the purpose of manipulating those facts in our own interest." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p 104

"The ego may be alienated from the symbol...the symbol will be reduced to a sign...for some other know content...whenever we treat our subjective reaction and images in the abstract, statistical manner appropriate to natural science and physical reality...the abstract, objective attitude appropriate for...[the] outer reality is applied to the unconscious psyche in an attempt to manipulate it." Edinger, Ego & Archetype pp110-111

"The conflict between the concretistic fallacy and the reductive fallacy is at the core of the contemporary conflict between the traditional religious view of man and the so called modern scientific view." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p111

" 'Religious (or symbolic) statements...refer with out exception to things that cannot be established as physical facts" C.G.Jung Answer to Job Collected Works 11 par 353-355 Edinger, Ego & Archetype p112

"The ultimate goal of Jungian psychotherapy is to make the symbolic process conscious." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p113

"An unconscious symbol is lived but not perceived. The dynamism of the unconscious symbol is experienced only as a wish or an urgency toward some external action. The image behind the urgency is not seen. No purely psychological meaning is discerned behind the motivating force of the symbolic image which has one in its grip. The ego, identified with the symbolic image, becomes its victim, condemned to live out concretely the meaning of the symbol rather than to understand it consciously. To the degree that the ego is identified with the archetypal psyche, the dynamism of the symbol will be seen and experienced only as an urge to lust or power." Edinger ,Ego and Archetype p 113

"...it is the symbolic image, acting as releaser and transformer of psychic energy, which lifts the instinctive urgency to another level of meaning and humanizes, spirtitualizes and acculturates the raw animal energy. The instinct contains its own hidden meaning which is revealed only by perceiving the image that lies embedded in the instinct." Edinger ,Ego and Archetype p 114

"To the extent that one is unaware of the symbolic dimensions of existence, one experiences the vicissitudes of life as symptoms...Symptoms [degraded symbols] are intolerable precisely because they are meaningless." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p117

"...the ego-Self axis and the symbolic life are encountered through the inferior function, the weakest portion of the personality. Only by awareness and acceptance of our weakness do we become conscious of something beyond the ego which supports us." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p126

"A man's foes are those of his own household because it is those to whom he is closest with whom he is most apt to be identified unconsciously. Such identifications must be dissolved because an awareness of radical separateness is a prerequisite for individuation." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p134

"To call no man father means to withdraw all projections of the father archetype and discover it within." Edinger, Ego & Archetype p134

"In order to withdraw projections and assimilate their content into one's own personality it is necessary to experience the loss of the projection as a prelude to rediscovering the content or value within." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 136

" ...the unconscious takes the same attitude toward the ego as the ego takes toward the unconscious. " Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 137

"If the ego serves the reconciling functions of peacemaker [rather then identifying with one side or the other] it is acting in the interests of totality." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 137

"The ego easily identified in a primitive fashion with the suprapersonal energies of the archetypal psyche and evidenced its inflation by symptoms of anger, violence and lust...the ego must be emptied of such inflated identifications before it can perceive the transpersonal psyche as something separate from itself." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 138

"Dismemberment can be understood psychologically as the transformative process which divides up an original unconscious content for purposes of conscious assimilation." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p140

" The inner opponent to our conscious standpoint must be accepted, respected and treated generously. The shadow must be accepted, only then can wholeness of personality be approached." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p142

"The unconscious mirrors to the ego the same attitude that the ego takes toward it...The judgmental attitude toward the unconscious is an inflation of the ego and will always boomerang against it." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p143

"...the deeper layers of the transpersonal psyche are reached through the undifferentiated, childlike aspects of the personality." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p144

" 'The least...hungry...thirsty;'...the needy side of ourselves...lonely and unaccepted...naked...exposed, and unprotected,..sick, the side of the psyche that is...pathological, neurotic...it is in prison-confined and punished...acceptance of the shadow and compassion for the inferior inner man equals acceptance of the Self." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p144

" 'Individuation...is a process of differentiation, having for its goal the development of the individual personality' CG Jung" Edinger, Ego and Archetype p140

"The ego is an incarnation, an entity, which participates in the vicissitudes of time, space and causality. The Self; as the center of the archetypal psyche, is in another world beyond consciousness and its particularizing modes of experience. The ego is the center of subjective identity; the Self , the center of objective identity." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p166

"It is a mistake to identify our individuality with any particular talent, function, or aspect of ourselves...If a person feels inferior or depressed in the presence of people who are more...in any human endeavor, then that person is making the mistake of identifying some particular aspect or function of himself with his essential individuality. If [he] can experience the fact that his individuality and personal worth are beyond all particular manifestations his security will no longer be threatened by the accomplishments of others." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p167

"...the antidote to all the frustrations that dependence on outer objects and persons engenders....[is] to be aware of individuality, is to realize that one has all that one needs...[and] one needs all that one has namely that every psychic content and happening is meaningful" Edinger :Ego and Archetype P 168

"To be related to one's individuality means to accept all that is encountered within as meaningful and significant aspects of the single whole...There is no place for chance in the meaningful world of the psyche."Edinger :Ego and Archetype P 168

"The world does not exist until there is a consciousness to perceive it...there are as many worlds as there are centers of consciousness...each is separate, complete and hermetically sealed from all others." Edinger :Ego and Archetype P 169

"...merely apparent relationship which is actively passed on projection and unconscious identification... projection phenomena...makes up the vast majority of what usually goes by the name of love or relationship." Edinger :Ego and Archetype P 170

"...to the extent we are related to our individuality as a whole and in its essence, we come into objective and compassionate relation with others....the ego is windowless but the Self is a window on other worlds of being" Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 170

"...an only begotten one is created, begotten or emanated from the original unbegotten One... the empirical ego that emerges from the original a priori Self. The ego is the only-begotten ...no siblings...no rivals...lonely" Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 171

"Loneliness is a precursor of the positive experience of aloneness...while aloneness is a fact of individual existence, the experience of loneliness is for an ego which is not yet willing or able to accept it- the first painful emergence of that fact into consciousness." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 171

"Dispersal or multiplicity. [seen from inner] is a state of inner fragmentation involving a number of relatively autonomous complexes which, when touched by the ego, cause changes in mood and attitude and make the individual realize he is not one but many." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 174

"[Externally]...multiplicity is manifested by the exteriorization or projection of parts of the individual psyche into the outer world." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 174

...the experience of individuality as a transpersonal fact is found at the very center of our personal selfish urges to power, lust, and self aggrandizement." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 175

"...at the center of the experience of individuality is the realization that all other individuals share the same experience... of living in a single, sealed world, and that this realization connects us meaningfully with all other parts of life.' Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 178

'Threeness refers to dynamic existence in historical reality. It expresses the painful dialect of the developmental process which proceeds according to the Hegelian formula of thesis, antithesis, synthesis." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p 211

"...the law of the conservation of psychic energy, there is so much psychic energy to be lived. If it is denied fulfillment in one area, it must be made up elsewhere...repression ...is a crime against life for which payment will be extracted." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p228

"...[that] which unites man with God, i.e. the ego with the Self , is now continually available through the initiative of the Self as Christ." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p230

"...it is joint libido investment which generates brotherhood. People engaged in a mutual enterprise, sharing the same goals...ordeals...base commitments are those who experience themselves as brother...[psychically for]...the individual, it is from occasions of intense affect faced consciously that the ego discovers the existence of the Self and becomes bound to it. Libido intensity...is necessary to forge the bond between man and man, and man and God." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p231

"...archetypal life meaning which connects the individual with his transpersonal source must be extracted from the particular incarnations in which it expresses itself in one's personal, concrete life." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p232

"..the alchemical idea of extracting the soul or spirit which is imprisoned in matter and would correspond to the psychological process of extracting the meaning from a concrete experience." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p204

"To the extent that libido is voluntarily transferred to the transpersonal purpose by a sacrificial attitude one avoids the destructive consequences to the personality that occur when the ego sets its will against the requirements of the totality, the Self." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p234

"...childhood innocence..,the expectation that reality is or should be superintended by an all loving father, [the innocence] must be extracted from this immature attitude...[so] that the spirit of benevolence can live effectively." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p234

"God sacrifices man...the movement is from human to divine... the ego is too full and the transpersonal world too empty. The balance must be righted by a sacrifice of the ego to the advantage of the Self." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p244

"God sacrifices God...the movement is from the divine to human, indicating a relative emptiness of the ego (poverty of the spirit) which requires a sustaining influx from the transpersonal, collective unconscious." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p244

"[Man Sacrifices God]...a drainage of energy and value from transpersonal categories to serve the interests of the conscious ego...[Man Sacrifices God] more desacralizing than making sacred...[Culturally, historically] this stage would be represented by atheistic materialism. The movement of energy is from the divine to the human, and thus belongs to a condition requiring an increase in conscious autonomy." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p244

"Man sacrifices man...refers to a sacrifice of the ego by the ego...for the ego's own development and the fulfillment of its transpersonal destiny...it is a conscious procedure, not motivated by unconscious archetypal compulsion but rather by conscious cooperation with the urge to individuate." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p245

" 'Every psychic advance of man arises from at the suffering of the soul' CG Jung CW II par 49. Suffering by itself is of no value. It is only consciously accepted, meaningful suffering which... is the willing endurance of the opposites within oneself, the acceptance of one's shadow, rather than indulging in the cheap way out by projecting it [onto others] which brings transformation." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p259

"...a nuclear process pertaining to the establishment of the central core of ...personality...the Self['s] presence...indicates that the transpersonal center of the individual identity is activated and is pouring an influx of energy and meaning into the conscious personality." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p255

"...a reaction to the numinous, a holy, awesome dread of the transpersonal reality of Selfhood." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p256

"...neurotic meaningless suffering ...transformed into conscious, meaningful suffering which is understood as a necessary ingredient of a profound archetypal life process." Edinger, Ego and Archetype p256
