Ego: the subject of your consciousness. Self: the subject of your totality.

What it means

The ego is the 'I' you know: your thoughts, choices and memories. The Self is the whole of you, including everything you are not aware of. Most of what you are is larger than your ego.

The source

"Ego: the subject of your consciousness. Self: the subject of your totality." Carl Jung said it in Psychological Types (1923), ch. XI 'Definitions', Ego. Translated by H. Godwin Baynes, 1923.

"Hence I discriminate between the ego and the Self, since the ego is only the subject of my consciousness, while the Self is the subject of my totality: hence it also includes the unconscious psyche."

H. Godwin Baynes, 1923, Psychological Types (1923), ch. XI 'Definitions', Ego. Text read at archive.org.

Who said it

Carl Jung (1875–1961). Swiss psychiatrist who broke with Freud and founded analytical psychology. He mapped the persona, the shadow, the collective unconscious and the lifelong work of becoming yourself, which he called individuation. Our lines come only from his writings published before 1931, in our own translations from the German or in English translations of the time.
