"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

"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."

"[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
