The Ego: What Jung Said About It - Aion

What is the 'Ego?' What does it mean to 'have' an ego? A 'big ego' or a 'strong ego'? Is the ego bad?

The Ego is an often misunderstood concept in psychology and conversation more broadly. It is a key part of Carl Jung's psychology and map of the psyche, and a necessary factor in the development of self-knowledge and the unfolding of spirit itself.

Carl Jung said many things about the Ego. But in this episode we'll focus just on one piece of writing - Aion. Originally published in 1951, in Jung's 76th year, it contains a concise five-page chapter giving a discussion and description of the Ego at this late point in Jung's life and career.
