250. The History of the German Section of the Theosophical Society 1902-1913: Protocol of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the German Theosophical Society (DTG) 22 Jan 1905, Berlin

Krojanker: “You can have reverence for a personality without extinguishing your own ego in the face of that personality. I think we need to have more general meetings and more board meetings.”
127. Festivals of the Seasons: Christmas: A Festival of Inspiration 21 Dec 1911, Berlin
Translated by Harry Collison

When we recollect what we have so often said—that the ancient spiritual streams were given by the Gods to mankind, and how in ancient times men had clairvoyant insight into the divine spiritual world, how this clairvoyance gradually vanished from humanity in order that men might be able to come to the gaining of the ego—if we picture how here, in the whole human organisation something like a drying-up, a withering, of the old divine forces is taking place, and how through the Christ-Impulse which came through the Mystery of Golgotha there is a flooding of the withering divine forces with new water of life; then there appears to us in a wonderful picture what the Christmas legends relate to us, how the dried up and withered roses of Jericho shoot up of themselves in the Holy Night.
11. Cosmic Memory: Prejudices Arising from Alleged Science (1904)
Translated by Karl E. Zimmer

For example, in the above-mentioned work of Forel the sentence appears, “Do we not live in a way a hundred times truer, warmer, and more interestingly when we base ourselves on the ego, and find ourselves again in the souls of our descendants, rather than in the cold and nebulous fata morgana of a hypothetical heaven among the equally hypothetical songs and trumpet soundings of supposed angels and archangels, which we cannot imagine, and which therefore mean nothing to us.”
40. The Calendar of the Soul (Pusch)
Translated by Hans Pusch, Ruth Pusch

Week 50 Thus to the human ego speaks In mighty revelation, Unfolding its inherent powers, The joy of growth throughout the world: I carry into you my life From its enchanted bondage And so attain my truest goal.
92. The Occult Truths of Old Myths and Legends: Parzival and Lohengrin 03 Dec 1905, Cologne

A swan is the chela who has come so far that all things speak to him, even those who have their consciousness on higher planes. On the physical plane, only man has the ego. The animal has consciousness on the astral plane, the plant on the mental plane (rupa plane), the mineral on the higher mental plane (arupa plane).
68a. The Essence of Christianity: Religion, Science and Theosophy 31 Jan 1908, Mainz

During sleep, the human being does not feel the experiences of the soul in his ego, pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, etc. It would be the most nonsensical thing imaginable to claim that what says “I” to itself, what smells the scent of roses, hears organ tones, sees colors, that this disappears completely in the evening and is recreated every morning.
198. Knowledge as a Source of Healing: Knowledge as a Source of Healing I 20 Mar 1920, Dornach
Translated by Violet E. Watkin

All that arises in this way out of man's organisation is, strictly speaking, part of him as an individual—an individual human ego. In the case of the men of old, in addition to hunger, thirst, and the desires of ordinary life, revelations of the divine arose.
152. The Festivals and Their Meaning IV : Michaelmas: The Michael Impulse and the Mystery of Golgotha I 18 May 1913, Stuttgart

If we follow the path of man's evolution we find him first as he was endowed in the beginning, in the old Saturn period; then we find him penetrated by a new element in the old Sun period, still further developed in the old Moon period, and in the Earth period endowed with the fourth element, the Ego. And we know moreover that in the Jupiter period his soul forces will take on such a form as will make him comparable with the Beings of the Hierarchy of the Angels.
344. The Founding of the Christian Community: Fourth Lecture 09 Sep 1922, Dornach

I will acknowledge that to stray from this path means the decay of my ego to the evil powers of the world. I will always fight the impulses that prepare the way for such aberrations.
Course for Young Doctors: Introduction
Translated by Gerald Karnow

Such a group of people, that have a ‘warm heart’ and who know right into the physical sphere how the ego in themselves works on the warmth organization, such a group will then be able to affect its surroundings out of much deeper warmth forces; it will be able, through these forces of love, which work into the physical realm, to affect the culture.
