"The ego is ill for the very reason that it is cut off from the whole, andhas lost its connection with mankind and with the spirit. The ego is indeedthe ‘place of fears’ but only if it has not returned to the ‘father’ and‘mother’ i.e. translated spirit and nature" (Jung, 1933: 125).Our own motto at the institute here is respect (for ourselves, for others,for nature ) and that is the essence of curing ego and arriving atsustainable human and natural communities.
