65. From Central European Intellectual Life: The Question of Immortality and Spiritual Research 24 Mar 1916, Berlin

Only when we understand how, in a certain sense, that which we call our ego, the bearer of our self-awareness, is outside the body in the same way as sound or color, only then do we understand the relationship between the human soul and the human body.
In this kind of willing, the person effectively places himself outside of his ego and advances the ego itself through willing. Therefore, true meditation is particularly suitable for becoming the spectator of one's own willing, for knowing how to place oneself outside of one's own will and, just as one learns to observe natural processes, to observe one's own willing with composure.
252. The History of the Johannesbau and Goetheanum Associations: The Laying of the Foundation Stone of the First Goetheanum and Subsequent Address 20 Sep 1913, Dornach

The evils prevail, Witnesses of the dissolution of the ego, Selfhood guilt incurred by others, Experienced in our daily bread, In which heaven's will does not prevail, Because man has separated himself from your kingdom And forgot your name, You fathers in the heavens.
68d. The Nature of Man in the Light of Spiritual Science: Educational Issues 03 Mar 1906, Hamburg

The child develops differently in the first years of life and differently in later years. We will now ignore the ego for the time being and deal with the physical, etheric and astral bodies. Let us consider the child as it stands before us after its birth.
201. Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe: Lecture XIII 09 May 1920, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mary Adams

This has a still greater significance, which is, that what we call our Ego has primarily a direct influence on our solid man, and that what we call our astral body has an indirect influence on our fluid man—so that what works from the soul and spirit upon our organisation, comes, through our bodily nature, also into connection with all the forces of the Cosmos.
125. Paths and Goals of Spiritual Man: Paths and Goals of the Spiritual Human Being 02 Jun 1910, Copenhagen

This is done through the occult path. Through this path he finds his ego, not crowded together in the narrowest part of his own inner being, but poured out over the whole outer world, one with that outer world.
148. On the Fifth Gospel: Lecture X 13 Jan 1914, Berlin
Translator Unknown

We remember that Earth-evolution has proceeded from the Saturn-, Sun- and Moon-evolutions and that during this Earth-evolution the Ego, or “I” is added to those principles of man's being—physical body, etheric body, astral body—which came over from the earlier stages.
150. Macrocosm and Microcosm 05 May 1913, Paris
Translator Unknown

And, just as in ordinary everyday life we think of our ego as being within our skin, so after meditation we experience ourselves outside our body. The body becomes an object on which we look down.
99. Theosophy of the Rosicrucian: Evolution of Mankind on the Earth II 04 Jun 1907, Munich
Translated by Mabel Cotterell, Dorothy S. Osmond

Here we have the starting point for the consciousness of the “ego.” A self-reliant independence did not exist in the Atlantean before these two points coincided, on the other hand he could live in much more intimate contact with nature.
100. The Gospel of St. John (Basle): Lecture VII 22 Nov 1907, Basel
Translator Unknown

The plant turns its root downward, to the centre of the Earth, the seat of its ego. Its organs of reproduction it turns chastely towards the sun, towards the light. It opens its flowers in the light of the sun and lets it ripen the fruit.
265. The History of the Esoteric School 1904–1914, Volume Two: Was Rudolf Steiner a Freemason?

The explanations he gave of time-honored signs and symbols have long since been superseded by the spiritual research results that he left behind in countless works for the human mind and for the human ego, which is called upon to be alert and wants to be alert. II Anyone who would take the trouble to study Rudolf Steiner's works without prejudice will soon see that here knowledge of spiritual things is being revealed that truly needs seek no other sources than those that open up to the inner self.
