207. Human Freedom and Its Connection with the Mystery of Golgotha 16 Oct 1921, Dornach
Translator Unknown

When our senses are turned to the things which surround us in the world in which we live from birth to death, then the world appears to us as a semblance, as an illusion. This semblance may be taken into our Ego being. We may, for example, preserve it in our memory, and in a certain sense make it our own. But insofar as it stands before us when looking out into the world, it is an illusion which manifests itself particularly—as I have already explained to you yesterday—by disappearing with death and by re-appearing in another form; that is to say, we then no longer experience it within us, but before or around us.
211. The Mysteries of the Sun and Death and Resurrection: Changes in the Experience of the Breathing Process in History 26 Mar 1922, Dornach

And through this regulation of the breathing process, what one might call self-awareness was generated, the experience of the ego, of “I am”. But this was a time when the perception, the experience of breathing in general played a certain role in human life.
312. Spiritual Science and Medicine: Lecture XIII 02 Apr 1920, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Thus the Russian in a way gives himself up to the surrounding world and has a comparatively slight ego-feeling, unless it is artificially-supplemented by some theory; these attributes being associated with their small intake of sugar.
314. Physiology and Therapeutics: Lecture II 08 Oct 1920, Dornach
Translated by Alice Wuslin, Gerald Karnow

On the other hand, as I have described in the second case, we have the form-skeleton of the human organism, but we do not wish to allow it to be permeated by the organizing force, by the force that weakens our consciousness to a certain extent: instead we wish to drive out the organizing force, which we now want to know as spirit (see drawing c). We cannot go along with our ego, however, because this is bound to the organism. We have the other side as well, the side in which man clearly begins to develop the spiritual, that is, to develop will activity in the spiritual.
326. The Origins of Natural Science: Lecture V 28 Dec 1922, Dornach
Translated by Maria St. Goar, Norman MacBeth

Only valued perceptions, imaginations, and feelings, but rejected all philosophy hitherto written as theories of cognition. The “Ego” is for him “a summary of surface-like, physiologically accompanied pieces of consciousness, which are brought into being by invisible forces.”
326. The Origins of Natural Science: Lecture VII 02 Jan 1923, Dornach
Translated by Maria St. Goar, Norman MacBeth

Warmth -Blood -Ego Organization Air -Pneuma -Astral Body Water -Phlegm -Etheric Body -Chemistry Earth -Black Gall -Physical body -Physics Here, however, we did not succeed in completely forgetting all inner life and still satisfying external observation.
286. And the Building Becomes the Human Being: The Origin of Architecture from the Soul of Man 05 Feb 1913, Berlin

In this soul, it is not the case that man rests inwardly in himself as in the soul of understanding or of feeling; but in the consciousness soul man strives out of himself to unfold his ego arbitrarily to reality, to existence. If you have a feeling for the formation of words, you can literally see how the words that have just been spoken as the characteristic of the consciousness soul form themselves as if by magic into the Gothic pillar pillar and the Gothic arch, where the enclosures give us a structure that no longer expresses calm self-reliance, but rather the striving to escape from mere internal stasis through its forms.
291. Colour: The Luminous and Pictorial Nature of Colours 07 May 1921, Dornach
Translated by Harry Collison

Just think, yellow makes us gay; but being gay means, really, being filled with a greater vitality of soul. We are therefore more attuned to the ego through yellow, in other words we are spiritualized. So, if you take yellow in its original nature, that is, fading outwards, and think of it shining within you, because it is a luster-colour, you will have to agree: Yellow is the luster of the spirit.
278. Eurythmy as Visible Singing: Choral Eurythmy 23 Feb 1924, Dornach
Translated by Alan P. Stott

And if we seek for Melos as such in the astral organization of the human being (and we seek for speech in the ego-organization), then we can perceive that which forms the fundamental basis of musical eurythmy. What you experience as astral human being usually remains stuck in a state of repose.
279. Eurythmy as Visible Speech: The Plastic Formation of Speech 02 Jul 1924, Dornach
Translated by Vera Compton-Burnett, Judith Compton-Burnett

Here we master the form given to the breath. We permeate: it, as it were, with our ego; we do not permit the sound to scatter itself immediately, but compel it to retain its form for a time in the outer world.
