If there is a coherentlink between the [[ego]] and [[consciousness]], balanced account it is in [[terms]] of the majority of other parts a '''[[lure]]'''.

to the EGo, unless this link is carefully theorised. If there is a link between the ego and consciousness, it is in terms of a lure; the illusion of a fully self- transparent consciousness is subverted by the whole psychoanalytic experience (see cociro). 'Consciousness in man is by essence a polar tension between an ego alienated from the subject and a perception which fundamentally escapes it, a pure percipi' (S2, 177). In 1954 Lacan gives 'a materialist definition of the phenomenon of con- sciousness' (S2, 40-52). However, matter is not to be confused with nature; Lacan argues that consciousness does not evolve from the natural order; it is radically discontinuous, and its origin is more akin to creation than to evolution (S7, 213-14; 223). In the 1960s Lacan rethinks the illusion of a self-consciousness (Selbstbe- wufltsein) fully present to itself in terms of his concept of the SUBJECT SUPPOSED TO KNOW.__NOTOC__
