Self Psychology Ego

More From Carl Jung

The term "self" seems a suitable one for the unconscious substrate whose actual exponent in consciousness is the ego. the ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors that radiate outward from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. the self, like the unconscious, as an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves. it is, so to speak, an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. it is not i who create myself; rather, i happen to myself.
Self Psychology Ego
So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. in fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. we can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. this explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. these influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.

How does one get rid of fear? ramana: what is fear? it is only a thought. if there is anything besides the self there is reason to fear. who sees things separate from the self? first the ego arises and sees objects as external. if the ego does not rise, the self alone exists and there is nothing external. for anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
Self Ego Doubt
The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. for this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.
Self Psychics Psychology
In this way the ego detaches itself from the external world. it is more correct to say: originally the ego includes everything, later it detaches from itself the external world. the ego-feeling we are aware of now is thus only a shrunken vestige of a far more extensive feeling - a feeling which embraced the universe and expressed an inseparable connection of the ego with the external world.
