Embodiment
The understanding that is arising here is that ego development
is part of the process of embodiment of Being. It is part of the
process of Being finally learning to manifest and live in embodied
existence. At birth the infant lives as Being, in a state of undifferentiation
that is not linked to the body. A process then starts, of consciousness
gradually cathecting the body and physical reality. This process
of embodiment of Being is a process of personalization of Being
finally emerging as a person, a Human Being. (The Pearl Beyond
Price, pg 458)
