“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It goes without saying that in our methods the ego is changed rather completely but gradually in many cases, and only through its own willingness to do so. It recognizes its identity as a part of, underlined, the inner self. Therefore basically it has no need to fight the inner self, since it knows its survival is dependent upon this inner framework.

In other words, portions of the inner self have joined the strictly egotistical functions. The ego in such cases is so attuned that it becomes almost something else. We are coming here toward a definition of illumination in psychic terms. The ego is not, underlined, banished. It joins with portions of the inner self previously unconscious, and illuminates the whole personality. It is no longer primarily physically oriented. Therefore it is no longer an ego in the terms usually meant.

Again, this is an important point. The ego has accepted the goals of the inner self. Its identity has already changed, so that its main concern, underline main, is no longer primarily with physical manipulation, but with inner growth and development.
