Ego is the result of evolutionary process - Ego is an illusion of separateness.
But without the Ego, there would be neither enlightenment nor awakening
In a previous time (Rudolf Steiner talks about Atlantean time) humanity had no ego and we lived in a "Golden Age"
This current period which comes to an end has discovered the ego - and this is introduced in the Bible by the "Original Sin" or as the "Fall".
It's the human ability to think for himself.
This doesn't mean necessary only bad things - without it there would be no language, no transmission of knowledge, no philosophy, and cultures, in a way no civilization.
We approach the end, because the Ego is now acting more and more pervasively - with a constant, permanent (and mostly useless) voice in the head.
The next stage is going beyond the ego - taming the ego.
Becoming responsible thinkers by remembering who we really are as human.
