In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

(अस्मित�) refers to “egoity�.—[...] Although the concept of an absolute ego [i.e., ṃb屹] is not found elsewhere in any school of Indian thought, the ego is revalued and seen to possess positive qualities by several Tantric traditions that developed around the end of the first millennium. The most evident precedent is Patañjali’s Yoga where egoity () is considered to be the object of the most intense and elevated form of concentration (samādhi). It leads directly to the realisation of the pure consciousness nature of the Person (ܰṣa) and hence his detachment from the domain of the bondage of Nature (ṛt) which is, essentially, the sphere of objectivity.
