The E-word: Ego, Enlightenment, & Other Essentials

[Bodhi123]

Hi Everyone,

I read this new book yesterday titled: The E-Word: Ego, Enlightenment, & Other Essentials

It is a well-written book that is very clear, lucid, and accessible. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand exactly what is the ego and enlightenment.

Here is a Q & A by the author: https://www.catemontana.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/E-Word-Current-Press-Kit-SP.pdf

An important term that I learned from this book is transpersonal consciousness.

Transpersonal consciousness can be defined as consciousness that extends beyond the limits of personal identity.

The author, Cate Montana, sees this level of consciousness as an intermediary point between egoic consciousness and enlightenment.

There is even an entire school of psychology known as Transpersonal Psychology.
