Ego

the cross point of divine Illumination and social reality

Konul Bunyadzade

pp. 217-222

Abstract

Ego is here considered from two perspectives: as the manifestation of divine wisdom and as the tipping point of external influences. Ego is the matrix of the human being. It looks like a stable core, protecting the being of the person. However, every internal and external influence is an impulse toward its next manifestation. Thus, in the first instance, Ego is the end of the divine line connecting God and human beings. It is the first to receive a divine message and interpret it. Ego is a door to the world of ideas and the divine sources of Truth. In the second instance, Ego is considered in the context of society, as personality is the manifestation or reaction of the Ego appropriating its environment.
