Now the inner ego is the organizer of experience that Jung would call unconscious. The inner ego is another term for what we call the inner self. As the outer ego manipulates within the environment and physical reality, so the inner ego or self organizes and manipulates within an inner reality. The inner ego creates that physical reality with which the outer ego then deals.

The energy of this inner self is directed and used by it to richly form from itself, from components and inner experience, a material counterpart in which the outer ego then can act out its role. The outer ego is most in the role, acting out a play that the inner self has written.

This is not to say that the outer ego is a puppet. It is to say that the outer ego is far less conscious than the inner ego or the inner self, that its perception is less, that it is far less stable, though it makes great pretense at stability; that it springs from the inner self, and is less rather than more, aware. (Pause.)

In your terms it is continually aware, both of this apartness and unity-with. The outer ego is not continuously, in your terms, aware of anything. It frequently forgets itself. When it becomes swept up in a strong emotion it seems to lose itself. There is unity then but no sense of apartness. When it most vigorously maintains its sense of individuality it is no longer aware of unity-with.
