254. The Occult Movement in the Nineteenth Century: Lecture VII 22 Oct 1915, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

Our everyday waking life is full of such remembrances. But it is different when the life of our Ego is interrupted by the periods of sleep. The curious thing is, however, that during sleep we remember only the preceding sleep-conditions only we are unconscious of this.
252. The History of the Johannesbau and Goetheanum Associations: The Origin of Architecture from the Soul of Man and its Connection with the Course of Human Development II 05 Feb 1913, Berlin

It is the dwelling place of the god and can stand alone, closed, as a totality in itself, just as the mind or soul is an inner totality, a self-contained inner life, which does not yet go to the ego, but which, albeit unconsciously, is the manifestation of the god in man. And when we see how in Greek temple construction one part supports the other, how everything is based on the columns striving upwards and supporting the beams, how the mutual forces are combined into a totality without the whole any way systematically toward a unity, toward a point, we find in it - and in Roman architecture the same is actually the case - that breadth, that expanse, which we find in the intellectual or emotional soul itself.
240. Cosmic Christianity and the Impulse of Michael: Lecture I 12 Aug 1924, Torquay
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

And we are mindful not only of what we are within our present nation, within modern humanity, but we realise that we have already passed through a number of incarnations on the earth and that in other conditions of existence between death and rebirth we have so worked at the development of the Self, the Ego, that we have made ourselves what we are to-day. But in his everyday consciousness man does not realise that these previous earthly lives must also be taken into account.
240. Karmic Relationships VIII: Lecture I 12 Aug 1924, Torquay
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

223. The Cycle of the Year as Breathing-Process of the Earth: Lecture III 02 Apr 1923, Dornach
Translated by Barbara Betteridge, Frances E. Dawson

When I wrote my book, Theosophy, it was impossible simply to list in succession physical body, etheric body, astral body, and ego, although we can summarize it this way once the matter is before us, once it is inwardly understood.
214. The Mystery of the Trinity: The Mystery of Truth II 28 Jul 1922, Dornach
Translated by James H. Hindes

With an animal we are actually seeing the astral body externally by means of the physical and the etheric. And with the human being we perceive the I or ego. What we actually see there before us is not the physical body, for it is invisible—and so too are the etheric body and the astral body.
216. Supersensible Influences in the History of Mankind: Lecture III 24 Sep 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

While a man is alive, the forces active in his etheric organism, his astral organism and Ego, work within this form. The form is irradiated and permeated by the human “tincture” proceeding from the blood and the rest of the organism.
216. The Fundamental Impulses of Humanity's World-Historical Becoming: The Experiences of the Human Being Between Death and a New Birth 16 Sep 1922, Dornach

I can then draw it like this: While our consciousness on earth is, as it were, concentrated at this point as our ego (red), it is peripheral when it has reached beyond the sphere of the stars (blue). We look inwards from each point (blue arrows).
271. Understanding Art: The Supernatural Origin of the Artistic 12 Sep 1920, Dornach

And just as sculpture and architecture are connected with prenatal life, with the forces within us from prenatal life, so poetry is connected with the life that takes place after death, or rather with the forces within us that are already within us for the life after death. And it is more the ego, as it lives here between birth and death, as it passes through the gate of death and then lives on, that already carries within itself the powers that poetry expresses.
41b. H. P. Blavatsky's, “The Key to Theosophy”: XIV. The “Theosophical Mahatmas”

They have no right, except by falling into Black Magic, to obtain full mastery over anyone's immortal Ego, and can therefore act only on the physical and psychic nature of the subject, leaving thereby the free will of the latter wholly undisturbed.
