the ego and 'I'
I saw my ego. That was when I got angry. The mere feeling of ‘I’, the simple fellow became an angry swollen ‘ego’ when I felt the anger. The anger joined with the connected thought stream, and condensed into ‘ego’ with the awareness. When one is agitated, the mood or emotion creates a thought stream. The thoughts, the emotion, and the awareness that illumines them, all combine together to form a single entity that is the feeling of ‘I’. The memories and images of all such ‘I’ formations together in the mind constitute the ‘ego’. It is never the same. It changes, modifies, and revises itself as memories increase on each experience.
