90b. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge II: Theosophy in Daily Life 30 Oct 1905, Berlin

From this we can see what mineral, plant, animal and human being are. The animal is not able to grasp the ego. There is no instrument through which it can work. On the astral plane, animals are like human beings on the physical plane; they are beginning to speak to you.
87. Ancient Mysteries and Christianity: On the Book of the Dead 30 Nov 1901, Berlin

But there is still something that he could not find, and that is the ego. He could not find the figure of Dionysus in the figure of Persephone, in the urge to emerge from the sensual, the spirit.
235. Karmic Relationships I: Lecture V 01 Mar 1924, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mabel Cotterell, Charles Davy, Dorothy S. Osmond

Then it depends on the sympathies and antipathies with which he is able to meet the outer world, according to his astral and his Ego-constitution; and on the sympathies and antipathies with which others in their turn are able to encounter him according to his nature.
196. Spiritual and Social Changes in the Development of Humanity: Fourteenth Lecture 14 Feb 1920, Dornach

Human memory has arisen out of that which is no longer there, but which once was there. This has no earthly origin. Only the human ego and its expression, the present physical human body with its form, have an earthly origin. One must grasp this in concrete terms, otherwise one has no right to call it anything but a microcosm.
196. Spiritual and Social Changes in the Development of Humanity: Fifteenth Lecture 15 Feb 1920, Dornach

It is only in the way I explained it yesterday and the day before — but in that way — that the main organization is necessary to develop cognitive abilities for the ego, for earthly human consciousness. It is wrong to believe that the eye is the absolute creator of the visual sensation; but it is right to know that the eye is the mediator of the visual sensation for the consciousness of the I.
201. Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe: Lecture X 01 May 1920, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mary Adams

Out of all we bring to the child, much of it is not his at once, but becomes so only the next day, after the Ego and astral body have passed through the night-condition; only then does the child duly receive what we have given him by day.
203. Natural Science and the Anthroposophical Movement 16 Jan 1921, Stuttgart
Translated by Hanna von Maltitz

Basically it shouldn't surprise us that this is so, from the simple basis that when the soul lives in falsehood the ego can be recognised as not having any sense of truthfulness in outer life. This should be kept in mind by all those who believe today that they should uphold traditional declarations.
206. Goethe and the Evolution of Consciousness 19 Aug 1921, Dornach
Translated by Harry Collison

Also known as: The Ego as Experience of Consciousness, lecture 4 of 5, or Pythagoras, Galileo and Goethe. Lecture 10 of 11 from the lecture series: Human Evolution, Cosmic Soul, Cosmic Spirit.
181. Earthly Death and Cosmic Life: The Living and the Dead 05 Feb 1918, Berlin
Translated by Harry Collison

This moment is obliterated by the subsequent life of the senses; but the fact does occur that, in waking, we have something rising, as it were, from the inner being of the soul, of which we could well be aware if our self-observation were more accurate; it does not come from our ordinary ego, it is often a message from the dead. We shall succeed in understanding these ideas if we do not form wrong thoughts about a connection I shall now bring before your soul.
207. Cosmosophy Vol. I: Lecture III 30 Sep 1921, Dornach
Translated by Alice Wuslin, Michael Klein

You know that if we survey the human being, confining ourselves to what exists in the human being today, we distinguish the physical body, the etheric body or body of formative forces, which is really a sum of activities, the astral body, and the I or ego. If we now bring the soul experience not into cognition but into consciousness, we distinguish in its fluctuating life thinking, feeling, and willing.
