240. Karmic Relationships VIII: Lecture V 24 Aug 1924, London
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

With these sound and healthy organisations Swedenborg grew to be one of the greatest scholars of his time; but it was not until his early forties, when he had been through the period of the Ego-development and was entering on the development of the Spirit-Self, that he came under the influence of the Mars Genius of whom I have spoken.
243. True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigation: The Inner Vitalization of the Soul through the Qualities of the Metallic Nature 15 Aug 1924, Torquay
Translated by A. H. Parker

Since their brain is not developed, the animals also share these perceptions. But they have no ego-consciousness; their perceptions cannot be imbued with spirit, but only with primitive psychic forces.
271. The Nature and Origin of the Arts 28 Oct 1909, Berlin
Translated by Harry Collison

Thou wilt therefore be able to kindle faculty in men; to bestow it upon one of their senses, the eye, which contains a property that in its thought-activity is not affected by the individual human ego—namely comprehensive outlook upon the outer world—now that thou thyself possessest the painter's gift for visualizing ideas in color.
54. The Situation of the World 12 Oct 1905, Berlin
Translator Unknown

In physical life we are separated, but in the life of the soul we are one with the Ego of the human race. This can only be grasped in real life; true life alone can lead us to this. Consequently, only the development of spiritual life can permeate us with the breath of this one Soul.
56. The Souls of Animals in the Light of Spiritual Science 23 Jan 1908, Berlin

Even if the saying “recognise yourself” which was written above the entrance of a famous Greek temple remains an everlasting truth, even if this must also remain the guideline of all thinking, researching and feeling, nevertheless, the human being soon feels if he looks impartially at the world and at himself that self-knowledge is not only contemplating his own ego, but that he has to receive the true self-knowledge by the view of the big world and its beings. We get the right self-knowledge from our surroundings if we understand them correctly.
143. Festivals of the Seasons: Thoughts of Christmas Eve 24 Dec 1912, Berlin
Translated by Harry Collison

And just as it appears in the child—that which is all-wisdom in the physical body, the same thing also appears in the etheric body, where the wisdom of cosmic powers is expressed; and so in the astral body and in the ego. Like wisdom that has made an extract of itself—so does the child lie there. And if it is thrown out into a comer of mankind, like the Child Jesus, then we feel that separated there lies a picture of perfection, concentrated world-wisdom.
54. The Kernels of Wisdom in Religions 16 Nov 1905, Berlin

It means nothing else than to combine again what was connected once and is separated now, the world and the ego. The different forms of the confessions are nothing else than the means, than the ways taught by the great sages to find this connection again.
9. Theosophy (1965): The Path of Knowledge
Translated by Mabel Cotterell, Alan P. Shepherd

A man does not reach the truth as long as he gives himself up only to the thoughts continually coursing through his Ego. For if he does, these thoughts take a course imposed on them by the fact that they come into existence within the bodily nature.
5. Friedrich Nietzsche, Fighter for Freedom: The Character
Translated by Margaret Ingram de Ris

One can find sentences in Nietzsche's works which express his strong ego-consciousness, for example, “I have given to mankind the deepest book which it possesses, my Zarathustra; soon I shall give it the most independent.”
72. Justification of Supersensible Knowledge Through Natural Science 31 Oct 1918, Basel

I would like to bring in the book The Subconscious Ego, Its Relationship to Health and Education by Louis Waldstein (1853-1915, American pathologist).
