Talk:Spiritual Ego

Emanuel Swedenborg

Our inner self produces our outer self: 994, 995. The inner self then clothes itself in whatever enables it to get results in the outer self...When the Lord regenerates us, he joins our inner or spiritual self to our outer or earthly self:

Note the reference to Alignment.

Meister Eckart

The Scriptures say of human beings that there is an outward man and along with him an inner man. To the outward man belong those things that depend on the soul, but are connected with the flesh and are blended with it, and the co-operative functions of the several members, such as the eye, the ear, the tongue, the hand and so on. The Scripture speaks of all this as the old man, the earthy man, the outward person, the enemy, the servant. Within us all is the other person, the inner man, whom the Scripture calls the new man, the heavenly man, the young person, the friend, the aristocrat." (PP)
