Egoic consciousness is the one we all normally operate with, until we are told there is something else! Every culture teaches egoic consciousness in different ways. At that level it is all about me, my preferences, my choices, my needs, my desires and me and my group as the central reference point.

Richard RohrThere are three things we have to let go of. The first is the compulsion to be successful. Second, is the compulsion to be right-especially theologically right.

Finally, there is the compulsion to be powerful, to have everything under control.
