Q: George, we have been discussing we are energy much like a magnet. You state we are both positive and negative energy and we need to balance the two energies. I know you state that neither side is good or bad, but both are needed to complete us. I get all of that but it is hard to balance them on this 3rd dimensional world with our Ego side in control here and the Soul part of us veiled from the Ego - how do we get them to balance when our Ego mind wants to be the King, controlling our every thought and move here? You tell me to meditate. I try - but can't accomplish more than a minute or two until I find my mind wandering along another path of mindless patter.....
A: Yes, the Ego mind is quite frustrating at times, but then again this whole path is a drama in which you star. To develop more control over your Ego mind ( many call it their flesh) one has to step up the meditation into the Soul's mind. Yes, it is difficult. Remember to enter into the pure loving nature of the Soul, who by the way is pure logic and sees itself as that - makes it difficult at times for the Soul to see the pure emotional nature of the Ego side of it. That is why both need each other. Too much logic - destroys the natural flow of our emotional nature. Too much emotion keeps us centered in our Ego mind and prevents us from allowing logic to help us see the pitfalls of our emotional side. So the whole pattern of giving us both sides is so important in our walk here.
Q: Okay, I see what you are saying but many have said we are one with Source so there really is no battle. But, George, I battle between my Soul's mind and my Ego's mind. Why? Am I so weak?
A: All battle back and forth from their Ego's desires and their Soul's desires on this path. The Soul would have one totally apt at the walk with no emotional hangups. The Ego's mind frets and gets hung up in all it's emotional ties to the drama. If one says they don't - they are only kidding themselves. All struggle here. That is the plan. How can one truly experience this path if they do not struggle within and without? That is the whole point of this walk. It is good. Remember the bowl of ice cream. The Soul's mind would look at it, say it looks good and would simple pass it by. The Ego's mind on the other hand would look at it, wonder about it - then get a bite. The mind of the soul would be satisfied then and walk away. The mind of the ego would relish the ice cream, feeling every bite within and without. The problem is this. If one let's the Ego control the ice cream - it would eat the whole carton. The soul gives the ego's desires control through its logical thinking. It would say - enough. The Ego would continue to indulge its desire. Both are needed for balance.
