249,2,CHAPTER TWO Ego: The Current State of Humanity
249,h,Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an ...
269,h,The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality, the miracle of life that continuously unfolds within and around you.

311,3,Content and Structure of the Ego
352,3,Identification with Things
363,h,The word "identification" is derived from the Latin word idem, meaning "same" and facere, which means "to make." So when I identify with something, I
363,h,I try to find myself in things but never quite make it and end up losing myself in them. That is the fate of the ego. IDENTIFICATION
383,h,Each thing has Beingness, is a temporary form that has its origin within the formless one Life, the source of all things, all bodies, all forms. In

466,3,Wanting: The Need for More I
476,h,And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting. This is the psychological need for more, that is to say, more things to identify with. It is an addictive need, not an authentic one. In
476,h,The physical needs for food, water, shelter, clothing, and basic comforts could be easily met for all humans on the planet, were it not for the imbalance of resources created by the insane and rapacious need for more, the greed of the ego. It finds c...
487,3,Identification with the Body
496,h,Amazingly but not infrequently, the ego in search of a stronger identity can and does create illnesses in order to strengthen itself through them.
528,3,Feeling the Inner Body
528,h,Although body-identification is one of the most basic forms of ego, the good news is that it is also the one that you can most easily go beyond.
549,h,When you are in touch with the inner body, you are not identified with your body anymore, nor are you identified with your mind. This is to say, you are no longer identified with form but moving away from form-identification toward formlessness, whic...

559,3,The Peace That Passes All Understanding
570,2,CHAPTER THREE The Core of Ego
621,h,In most cases, when you say "I", it is the ego speaking, not you, as we have seen. It consists of thought and emotion, of a bundle of memories you identify with as "me and my story," Page 60 - Note
621,h,"I" cannot survive without the conceptual "other." The others are most other when I see them as my enemies. At one end of the scale of this unconscious egoic pattern lies the egoic compulsive habit of faultfinding and complaining about others. Jesus ...
621,3,Complaining and Resentment
621,h,Somebody becomes an enemy if you personalize the unconsciousness that is the ego. Nonreaction is not weakness but strength. Another word for nonreaction is forgiveness. To
653,3,Reactivity and Grievances
673,h,This is an outrage," they say. "How dare you...." "I resent this." They are addicted to upset and anger as others are to a drug. Through reacting against this or that they assert and strengthen their feeling of self. A
673,h,A long-standing resentment is called a grievance. To carry a grievance is to be in a permanent state of "against," and that is why grievances constitute a significant part of many people's ego. Collective grievances can survive for centuries in the p...

694,3,In Defense of an Illusion
704,h,Ego takes everything personally. Emotion arises, defensiveness, perhaps even aggression. Are you defending the truth? No, the truth, in any case, needs no defense. The
704,3,Truth: Relative or Absolute?
715,h,I am right and you are wrong" is a dangerous thing in personal relationships as well as in interactions between nations, tribes, religions, and so on. But
715,h,The history of Christianity is, of course, a prime example of how the belief that you are in sole possession of the truth, that is to say, right, can corrupt your actions and behavior to the point of insanity. For centuries, torturing and burning peo...
725,h,All religions are equally false and equally true, depending on how you use them. You can use them in the service of the ego, or you can use them in the service of the Truth. If

1295,h,What "I" could there be apart from life, apart from Being? It is utterly impossible. So there is no such thing as "my life," and I don't have a life. I am life. I and life are one. It cannot be otherwise. So how could I lose my life? How
1326,2,CHAPTER FIVE The Pain-Body

1336,3,The Birth of Emotion
1367,h,You don't run your body. The intelligence does. It also is in charge of the organism's responses to its environment. This
1367,h,For example , it is likely you won’t feel any emotion when you are told that someone’s car has been stolen, but when it is your car, you will probably feel upset. It is amazing how much emotion a little mental concept like “my” can generate.
1378,3,Emotions and the Ego
1367,h,Here are a few more common unconscious assumptions: “Nobody respects and appreciates me. I need to fight to survive. There is never enough money. Life always lets you down. I don’t deserve abundance . I don’t deserve love.”
1367,h,Do positive emotions then have the opposite effect on the physical body? Do they strengthen the immune system, invigorate and heal the body? They do, indeed , but we need to differentiate between positive emotions that are ego-generated and deeper emotions that emanate from your natural state of connectedness with Being.

2362,h,Space consciousness means that in addition to being conscious of things— which always comes down to sense perceptions, thoughts, and emotions— there is an undercurrent of awareness.

2496,3,The Breath
2538,h,One conscious breath (two or three would be even better), taken many times a day, is an excellent way of bringing space into your life.
2538,h,The German word for breathing— atmen—is derived from the ancient Indian (Sanskrit) word Atman, meaning the indwelling divine spirit or God within.
2548,h,Being aware of your breath forces you into the present moment— the key to all inner transformation. Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present.

2600,h,That "empty space" is life in its fullness, the unmanifested Source out of which all manifestation flows. The traditional word for that Source is God.

2672,h,But the true or primary purpose of your life cannot be found on the outer level. It does not concern what you do but what you are— that is to say, your state of consciousness.
2672,h,So the most important thing to realize is this : Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary.
2683,3,Awakening
2693,h,Another function of this book is to help people recognize the ego within them whenever it tries to regain control and obscure the arising awareness.

2900,h,reconciliation of outer and inner purpose: to bring that essence— consciousness— into the world of form and thereby transform the world. The ultimate purpose of that transformation goes far beyond anything the human mind can imagine or comprehend.

2993,h,Stupidity is relatively harmless, but intelligent stupidity is highly dangerous. This intelligent stupidity, for which one could find countless obvious examples, is threatening our survival as a species.
3004,3,Consciousness
3014,h,Consciousness is the intelligence, the organizing principle behind the arising of form. Consciousness has been preparing forms for millions of years so that it can express itself through them in the manifested.
3035,h,The brain does not create consciousness, but consciousness created the brain, the most complex physical form on earth, for its expression.
3035,h,You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
3045,3,The Three Modalities of Awakened Doing
3035,h,The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm.
3056,3,Acceptance
3066,3,Enjoyment
3066,h,Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly
3076,h,Enjoyment is the second modality of awakened doing.
3076,h,On the new earth, enjoyment will replace wanting as the motivating power behind people's actions.
3076,h,Joy is the dynamic aspect of Being.
3097,h,The new earth arises as more and more people discover that their main purpose in life is to bring the light of consciousness into this world and so use whatever they do as a vehicle for consciousness. The joy of Being is the joy of being conscious.
3118,h,Persian poet and Sufi master Hafiz expresses this truth beautifully: *1 am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music."
3118,3,Enthusiasm
3118,h,Enthusiasm means there is deep enjoyment in what you do plus the added element of a goal or a vision that you work toward.
