It is that Ego, that "Causal Body," which overshadows every personality Karma forces it to incarnate into.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''Key to Theosophy'', (London: Theosophical Publishing House, 1987), 136.</ref></blockquote>		<blockquote>This is the real Individuality, or the divine man.

	'''Ego''' is a word derived from the [[Greek]] Εγώ (Ego) meaning "I", often used in English to mean the "self", "identity" or other related concepts. In Theosophical teachings there are different levels of the sense of I-ness in us. The personal ego (lower ''manas'') is the psychological "I" that is often selfish. The higher ego (higher ''manas''), also called "reincarnating ego" is the impersonal sense of I-ness at the level of the soul. The spiritual ego (''buddhi-manas'') is an enlightened sense of I-ness present in those who recognize the one universal self.
