	20th WCP: On the History, Theoretical Difficulties and Prospects of the Western Subjectivity Thought
		Ego, soul or mind, like a material body, is a kind of substance, but is different from the latter in essence.
		But the presupposition of the empirical ego, in principle, is a kind of negation or threat to the absolute givenness or the absolute self-sufficiency of the transcendental ego and its activities.
		For example, "the psychological ego" of Descartes and "the transcendental ego" of Husserl fundamentally belong to a kind of "knowing subject"; whereas "the solitary individual" of Kierkegaard fundamentally belongs to a kind of "a religious belief subject" who refuses and excludes the knowing subject, "the aesthetic subject" and "the ethical subject".

		Ego development, rather than ego deflation, is defined as a parallel process to actualization and in the same manner as cognitive development.
		However, ego deflation and ego defense mechanism deflation are not synonymous subjects, for it is the degree of neurosis within the ego structure (Smith, 1973) which is being deflated through the psychoanalytic method, not the ego.
		This is not to suggest that ego dissolution is not a viable subject of investigation, but rather it is merely not synonymous with the processes described herein, because as will be shown later in this text the ability to attend to the whole as well as the parts is a long-term or final stage outcome.

		Ego isn’t satisfied just by greeting volunteers; at first a group called 'Première ligne' (First line) set out to meet the more marginalised who had cut away from the specialised structures.
		Ego’s philosophy is based upon a principle of non exclusion, non judgmental attitude and respect of the individual, whatever their situation.
		Ego has not been subjected to these pressures because of its constant concern to integrate the different parts of the neighbourhood in its processes.

	Ceramics Monthly - The Kiln Exhaust Sniffer
		In an automotive EGO sensor, the little pellet is shaped like a tiny hollow thimble and is mounted inside a perforated shell on the end of what looks rather like a spark plug.
		Wondering whether automotive EGO sensors of different makes would give different millivolt readings in the same kiln, I made a test firing with two sensors mounted side by side at the kiln flue, to compare both with the $800 oxygen probe inside the kiln.
		In one of our test firings, the EGO sensor became so coated with white powdery zinc oxide that its readings became unreliable; however, the sensor reverted to normal once the zinc oxide was brushed away.

	Husserl on Time and Intersubjectivity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For each ego, the other egos are not midpoints, but rather surrounding points; they have according to their lived bodies a varied spatial and temporal placement in the one and the same spatial-totality, or, in the one and the same world time.
		This is tantamount to an explication of the necessary occurrence of the mundanizing birth and death of the ego.
		The reduction to the living present is a reduction to the sphere of the primal temporalization in which the first and originary sense of time comes forward-time as the living streaming present.

	The Crazy Fascist Doctor of A.A.
		This concept of the inflated ego recognizes the common ancestor of a whole series of traits, namely, that they are all manifestations of an underlying feeling state in which personal considerations are first and foremost.
		Thus, to say that a person had an "unconquerable ego which bitterly opposed any thought of defeat" is a misnomer and a gross distortion of the facts.
		But that is a very different thing than the "return of the full-fledged ego." I would expect such grossly ignorant psycho-babble from an uneducated man on the street, but it is very strange, coming from a man who is supposed to be a competent psychiatrist.

		Part of the difficulty arises from the use of the word ego, in psychiatric and psychological circles, to designate those elements of the psyche which are supposed to rule psychic life.
		The word ego, however has been preempted by the psychiatrists and psychologists, although they do not always agree among themselves about the meaning to be attached to it.
		He first portrays the Ego as follows: "Once it was a baby, radiant with self-esteem, full of belief in the omnipotence of its wishes, of its thoughts, gestures and words." Then, on the process of Ego-reduction: "But the child's megalomania melted away under the inexorable pressure of experience.

	CHAPTER XIII
		In its strict sense, person is limited to that of subjectivity, but in its broad sense his ego must be concretized spatio-temporally in a body and live with others in a kind of intersubjective relationship.
		Transferring from the bodily dimension to the ego in its proper sense, is in fact, according to Husserl, to step from the passive to the active ego.
		This means that ego in the proper sense is the active, free ego.

	Journal of Heart Centered Therapies: Deintegrate, disintegrate, unintegrate: a Buddhist perspective in heart-centered ...
		The personality traits contributing to openness operate on the first level through the ego's navigation of (1) a realignment of the twin ideals of ego ideal (yearning for perfection) and ideal ego (inflated sense of self); and (2) successive deintegrations (Fordham) to accommodate newly consolidated growth.
		De-constructing the ego occurs in the context of delicately balancing the ideal ego and the ego ideal to avoid either ego inflation or deflation.
		The ego level is organized around the self-image of 'I' as separate and unique from all that is 'not I.' Work at the ego level builds boundaries, integrates polarizations, replaces nonfunctional concepts of self and others, and modifies character structure for more fulfillment.

	Psychological Benefits of Nature
		Ego is a more-or-less integrated set of structures including self-images, object representations, and reactive patterns.
		According to psychodynamic theory, there are two aspects of the ego: Functional Ego (such as the ability to perceive, choose, delay gratification, witness, and relate) and Representational Ego (such as self-images and ego-identifications).
		Ego-transcendence is the result of the disintegration of the representational ego in the presence of an integrated functional ego.

	Alter Ego Airlines -- code-sharing run amok
		The alter ego concept is the latest in a series of post-deregulation labor strategies, and avoids the disadvantages of outright merger/acquisition.
		Alter ego network expansion and revenue opportunities create increasing returns and margins on what is essentially zero incremental capital investment and at no increased risk.
		It is significant that incremental revenue generated through an alter ego alliance causes revenue-related costs to decline, not only on the incremental revenue portion but back to the first dollar.

	Reynaert P: To overcome the apparent yet illusory solipsism...
		This first move, the reduction to primordiality, already indicates that Husserl’s phenomenology is not solipsistic at all.
		It is thus coherent for Husserl to say that, notwithstanding the reduction to the ego, the Meditation does not give a genetic analysis of how this intersubjective character of the world depends upon a previous self-experience.
		If the reduction to primordiality entails a solipsistic naturalistic attitude with regard to one’s Body as a condition of possibility of the experience of the other, it generates a logical problem, because of the intersubjective nature of this self-objectivation.

		For Husserl, the real motivation for the reduction (and the real priority of subjectivity in the sense of the irreducibly first-person perspective) is ethical: "every genuine beginning of philosophy springs from meditation, from the experience of solitary self-reflection" because "an autonomous philosophy" is "the solitary and radical self-responsibility of the one who is philosophizing."
		The reduction leaves us with a self-contained field of intentionality, but under no circumstances can this be identified with "pure subjectivity" in the sense of what is left out of account in the physicalistic abstraction.

		What's more, the ego is fairly small, but can be so monotonously and grandiosely demanding that it can make one loose one's zest for the world.
		How to reduce one's ego is impossible to describe -- though books on it fill libraries -- because the knowledge is experiential and must be slowly, patiently trained to stick.
		But the ego cannot be destroyed -- such an expansive maturing process will inevitably come back to encompassing one's ego with the same love and zest one develops towards others and the world while maturing.
