The four faces of Eve all represented various ego manifestations of one inner identity. The course of the ego is a precarious one, and any number of potential egos exist within any identity. The Three Faces of Eve is an excellent title for the book, since the ego may quite legitimately be compared to the face that the identity turns toward objective reality, or the living mask that it dons.

But identity is much more than this, and basic identity, while using the perceptive abilities, is not that dependent upon them. It is true that the personality is a gestalt, and that every identity has any number of potential egos. It is also true that on occasion one potential ego will take over from another. But this is all highly simplified, for the ego structure is not one thing, but a changing, never constant, actually quite informal grouping of psychological patterns. Each ego uses and interprets the organism’s perceiving apparatus in a way that in the overall is characteristic and distinctive.

The energy that composes personality therefore consists of an inconceivable number of separate identities. These separate identities form what we call the inner self, which retains its individuality even while the energy that composes it constantly changes. There are continual groupings and regroupings, but basic identities are always retained. The potential egos within any given identity therefore retain their own individuality and self-knowledge, regardless of their relative importance in the order of command.

Today Dr. Instream looked at an object in a store window. Something like a camera. The number four in connection with this. The man earlier mentioned also brought an object, I believe for Dr. Instream.

(“Does the number seven refer to the child’s age?”)

(“A child, and seven.” I wasn’t sure these two impressions were connected, although Jane gave them together. I tried to clear up the child and number reference later in the questions.

(“No it does not.” My last question concerned the number seven as possibly referring to the age of the child. With this possibility eliminated Jane and I saw no other connection.
