ego/s
"In intention, the ego progressively loses its ego individual character
and finds itself carried to a universal value
that makes it escape from the strictly ego form of the ego. It is, nonetheless
only through intention that the formless ego becomes
self-consciousness. Thus the ego is a transient fact, not only as a result of its
chance birth and its approaching death, but also because
the process that determines it is also the one that
exhausts it. it is impossible even to reach
a clear distinction between determination and
exhaustion. The determined ego is, by the sheer fact
of determination, an exhausted ego."
