"But here is the most feared truth:
The Ego, and the Soul....... are ONE THING.
The very same thing.
BUT
What has been named the "Ego" is simply the soul on the first turn of the evolutionary wheel.
It's part of the Plan,
without it there would be no evolution, no movement forward, no turning of the Wheel of Life.
You have to consider what the purpose of the ego is....and what the purpose of the soul is....
and guess what, it's the same thing.  The only difference is in the first part of our evolution it works via duality, via seeking pleasure and avoiding and stuffing pain.
(this is what the recapitulation  is designed to resolve.....but not until the first turn of the wheel is complete."

YES! So few people understand this. The ego and the soul are the same thing. Gurdjieff also spoke of this. He spoke of how our sense of "I" can be evolved into the soul. This is why he said that people don't really have a soul when they are born, they have to develop that soul. I mean yes, if you have an ego then you have a soul, but if you don't realize non-dual truth, then you only ever know the ego as ego.

This means though, that the construct i.e. the Double is also a projection of the ego, or soul. Because the construct exists because of our identification, and identifications are also the bricks that form the ego. Construct and ego are two parts of the same thing. Doesn't this then mean that the construct i.e. Double also evolve on the second turn of the wheel? Yes on this second turn we can now see the construct as what it is, we can also see the actual Primal Beingness, but the construct is still there, its just we don't see it dualistically anymore, right? The construct is still there we just don't think it is all there is to reality anymore, and yet, it is a part of reality, as everything that has ever existed is. Just like the images on my computer monitor are part of the monitor.
