The archetypes of the ego (I)

The concept that the individual or ego is dumped on the planet and needs to find his way on it is a long discussion on its own. Our personality has to learn the rules of the game here on Earth trying to master the rules of the 3D, and for this he creates personalities each one representing his beliefs, his conclusions on how he thinks the world turns. The ego makes lots of mistakes and end up with a huge amount of subego’s, little voices inside our head who`s goal can be totally different from each other.

Us, as individuals can, and normally will be, very confused with whom who we are, what the ego is, in reality. Our ego is almost unable to collect all his subs personalities and merge them into one self without much effort. This is the real explanation of individuation. The ideal ego is the one who knows he is interdependent with everything around him in the world. `We are one’ or `there is only one but you’ are two totally different expressions, stating the same concept.

Here we would like to present the twelve mainstream subego’s who represent conceptual the inner voices of mankind. Don’t be sad if you recognize them, if not all. We are learning…
