Stage 1. Ego separated from the Unconscious and from God.
(c) Philip St. Romain
“The death of egoism is to understand that one is an element in a universe that personalizes itself by [God uniting Himself with us and us responding to His call]. So it is no longer oneself that one loves in oneself. ” — Teilhard de Chardin, On Suffering, p. 55 (Harper Collins 1975) (courtesy of Yurii C. Ramos at The Teilhard Project) [editorial modifications in brackets]
Can you say where that diagram is from (is it a specific article from St. Romain’s web-site)?
Hi Anthony:
The link to the diagram can be found here on Dr. St. Romain’s website (I will provide a link in the post also). If you are interested in the intersection among spirituality and psychology, I would highly recommend Dr. St. Romain’s recent book “God and I: Exploring the Connections Between God, Self and Ego“, which is not only a fantastic read but a very practical spiritual guide.
Peace,
W. Ockham
Thanks for this link William of Ockham, that’s what I was looking for!
