More From Albert Hofmann

In this way the ego detaches itself from the external world. it is more correct to say: originally the ego includes everything, later it detaches from itself the external world. the ego-feeling we are aware of now is thus only a shrunken vestige of a far more extensive feeling - a feeling which embraced the universe and expressed an inseparable connection of the ego with the external world.
Ego Feelings Connections
How does one get rid of fear? ramana: what is fear? it is only a thought. if there is anything besides the self there is reason to fear. who sees things separate from the self? first the ego arises and sees objects as external. if the ego does not rise, the self alone exists and there is nothing external. for anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
Self Ego Doubt
Pathology has made us acquainted with a great number of states in which the boundary lines between the ego and the external world become uncertain or in which they are actually drawn incorrectly. there are cases in which parts of a person's own body, even portions of his own mental life - his perceptions, thoughts and feelings -, appear alien to him and as not belonging to his ego; there are other cases in which he ascribes to the external world things that clearly originate in his own ego and that ought to be acknowledged by it.

The term "self" seems a suitable one for the unconscious substrate whose actual exponent in consciousness is the ego. the ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors that radiate outward from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. the self, like the unconscious, as an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves. it is, so to speak, an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. it is not i who create myself; rather, i happen to myself.
Self Psychology Ego
There's one uneasy borderline between what is external and what is internal, and this borderline is defined exactly by the sense organs and the skin and the introduction of external things within my own body. consciousness is altered by physical events and physical objects, which impinge upon my sense organs, or which i introduce into my body. now the name traditionally given to external objects or processes which change you internally is sacrament. sacraments are the visible and tangible techniques for bringing you close to your own divinity.

A transference neurosis corresponds to a conflict between ego and id, a narcissistic neurosis corresponds to that between between ego and super-ego, and a psychosis to that between ego and outer world.

The day came. the wrath descended. sin, guilt, and retribution? the manic psychoses of those entities we referred to as states, institutions, systems - the powers, the thrones, the dominations - the things which perpetually merge with men and emerge from them? our darkness, externalized and visible? however you look upon these matters, the critical point was reached. the wrath descended.

What she needs, at least one thing she needs, is companionship. after all why should she eat? who needs her to be alive? what we call psychosis is sometimes simply realism. but human beings can't live on realism alone.
