The Four Egos

According to Alejandro Jodorowsky, our main problems derive from the fact that we are constantly mixing up our four Selfs believing that there is only one; and that this sole Self is of intellectual nature. {adinserter AD CONTENT 01}

Actually we have four: the intellectual centre, the emotional centre, the sexual centre and the body centre. The balance in the development of all four egos guarantees well-being and health. If we align them with the purpose of our Essential Self, we will walk lighter. That’s why we all should be aware of these four energies and tun them into our allies.

By means of the chemical formula “solve et coagula”, we have to learn to separate thoughts from feelings, desires and needs.

The intellectual Self expresses by the means of ideas; the emotional Self with feelings; the sexual self with desires; the body Self with needs.

The intellectual Self wants to be, talking. It needs to learn not to be, quiet.

The emotional Self wants to be loved, receive. It needs to learn to love, give.

The sexual Self wants to possess, dominate. It needs to learn to surrender, create.

The body Self wants to live, to have. It needs to learn to become detached, die.

We think one thing, we love another, we desire even another, we do something else. We need to learn to direct the four selves towards the same goal.
