The Ego

Q: George, why does the Ego always have to be so stubborn? Can't the Ego see the Soul at all? Does the Soul have to be hidden totally from the Ego? It makes this journey here so hard to just be Ego ruled. A: The Ego is aware of its other-half - but is veiled so it will not lean totally on the Soul. You see, the Soul is the strongest of the two. It is controlled totally by love. The Ego was separated and borne on this dimension to allow free will to reign in each person. This allows each Soul to love Source freely. Each emotion the Ego experiences allows it to grow in love. It is a journey to learn who and what we are. If one does not experience emotions - one never grows in the ability to love freely without attachments. If one attaches its love to a person, place or thing - it can never go beyond that love. Only when one looses its attachments to things can one begin to love freely. Let's say you are in love with a person, that person becomes your whole existence. One cannot love that person freely anymore - it becomes an obsession. That is also where jealousy begins. Attaching oneself to anything can hold them back from expanding their spirit. Q: But how do we keep that from happening when our Ego is such an attachment freak? A: To allow the Soul equal time within this earthly entity. Q: Okay - how do I accomplish that? A: Through prayer and meditation. When one prays they are centered into their Soul - into Spirit. This allows the Soul to come and merge with the Ego. Upon merging the two energies transmute into the one entity and healing is achieved for the Ego. When meditation is happening the same thing will be. Also when a soul is at a crossroads as to how to respond to a certain situation- if love wins in the decision - they will also merge. That is why I tell you all of the time to meditate - to go within. This is so healing of the person can happen. Love is so strong and has such a healing factor. One simply needs it at various times. Q: But if one is in a self-pity mode -that is very hard to do. A: Yes, self-pity is one emotion the Ego has in fullness and refuses to let it go. This is so it may justify its thoughts and actions to itself. Q: That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the Ego is only a brat. Doesn't the Ego have any good qualities? A: Oh, the Ego is much loved for its self-righteousness and "me," attitude. That is how a soul expands its spirit. Without the Ego none would grow. It is as important to a person as their soul. Both are needed. The Ego produces the learning and the Soul merges with it and becomes one. It is a marvelous journey for both. Q: Well, living in this dimension it is not often a marvelous feeling - it can bring much pain. A: Yes, unfortunately it can, but in the long run it is good for that soul. One only grows when one chooses to lay down attachments and respond freely to another. When one has attachments one will not be able to respond to another in love. Q: Is that like someone coming to your house and allowing their child to destroy it? One gets angry. A: In a way partly- yes. If one's whole love is controlled by a thing - then yes that is what would happen. But, if one realized that love is more important than the thing - it will not matter and love can be given freely. Q: But - people work so hard for what hey have and want it to last. To allow someones child to come in an be destructive is wrong. A: Yes, that is where their love is lacking. Children should be taught boundaries. They need to learn to care for the other person and their things. It is how one teaches them that is important. Q: How does one teach them properly? A: If you take care of the things placed in your possession it shows the child. A parent teaches more by example than by words. All do. Q: So, I should show not tell? A: Yes - all should. If one truly loves - one gives and shows respect. If one loves - one gives all honor to another. It that soul loves their home and their things - then honor that. Be mindful of their emotions. Q: So - how we respond to another is how we teach others? A: Yes. BE MINDFUL of the emotions of another. Show love in all things.
