The consciousness so attuned however is only a small portion of the individual’s total consciousness. In your system it is now fashionable to refer to this as the ego. The psychological structures are indeed so imprinted. However they are also aware and conscious of huge portions of themselves that are not so imprinted. They are aware of themselves simultaneously as individuals imprinted so as to react within several systems.

This does not mean that the word indeed would have no meaning. Psychological frameworks and psychic gestalts form the basis for individual reality regardless of system. All of these do imply a whole, but the very term whole would again be meaningless if the whole, through self-conscious individual parts, were not conscious of itself.

There may be a strong feeling of oneness with All That Is. This is of course much to those who have been primarily ego oriented, and it represents a meaningful breakthrough that can indeed provide the opportunity and impetus for a far more fulfilling earthly existence.

The ego indeed is a fiction, but a highly useful one. It is an artificial division, indeed ever changing, and yet the illusion of its existence must be maintained while you are in this existence. It need not be inflexible, with training. With training it will be willing to grant you much more freedom, and yet it will remain intact.
