“the experience of the self is always a defeat for the ego.”
Edward F. Edinger, Ego and Archetype: Individuation and the Religious Function of the Psyche

“And if it is true that we acquired our knowledge before our birth, and lost it at the moment of birth, but afterward, by the exercise of our senses upon sensible objects, recover the knowledge which we had once before, I suppose that what we call learning will be the recovery of our own knowledge . . . PLATO*”
Edward F. Edinger, Ego and Archetype: Individuation and the Religious Function of the Psyche

“Through his researches, we now know that the individual psyche is not just a product of personal experience. It also has a pre-personal or transpersonal dimension which is manifested in universal patterns and images such as are found in all the world’s religions and mythologies.”
