THE INTERMEIDARY PURPOSE OF EGO
The limited ego serves an intermediate purpose because it enables from the One to emerge a conscious Many. It enables the experience of the initial experience, of what it experiences as negative and dualities, so that conscious man can go beyond this view and reconcile division, enabling unities and harmonies.
