The Ego Or The Personality Is The False Self And Not Your True Essence!

Socrates once said “Man know thyself”, he wasn't talking about the human body that we see and touch but rather about the magnificent luminous being in the body that drives the body and uses the body like an outer protection while in the physical world.

This inner being is your true essence and divinity vibrating at the high frequency of light and love and its mostly referred to as your higher self or authentic self.

Who Are You?

Are you even aware of who you are at any given moment, at this present moment?

Are you your thoughts, your habitual thinking or are you simply this great divine essence which is pure light and love.

You mostly identify with your thoughts as you making these thoughts which doesn’t serve you in the long run. You derive your sense of identification or sense of self from the activities of your mind.

You believe everything you think is in your best interest and would die if you stopped thinking.

When you were growing you formed a mental picture of who you are based upon your perception and sense of self at that time all based on your personal and cultural conditioning at that time.

This mental picture that you took on as yourself became the life sustaining principle in your life and a ghost or phantom you weren’t even conscious that existed and was in charge and ruling your life and reality.

What Is The “Ego”?

It is basically the mind activities created and controlled by the subconscious mind and kept running by your emotional and mental activities, your thoughts and emotions.

It is the unconscious identification with the mind.

The Ego here means different things to different people, for some its vanity, for another set it’s who they are and are happy to show off.

But for the purpose of this article, it is the false self which is created by the subconscious mind to keep you safe and secured form what it terms “threats” irrespective of whether its own narratives are right or wrong.

To the Ego, the present moment does not exist, there is only the past and the future. There is no here and now.

Soul which is the divine beingness which is your true identity only lives in the now. It doesn’t know the past nor the future.

This reversal of the truth shows how in the “ego mode”, the mind is dysfunctional and not on the true path of soul.

The Ego would do anything and everything to keep the past alive so that you remain caught up in the intricate web of the past filled with illusion of what is not and what will not be.

It keeps the future alive in any way it can so that should you escape the past then you are suddenly caught up in the intricate web of future events that has not happened yet.

This it does to ensure its survival and remove the need for you to discover who you truly are at the core of your being.

It brings the false sense that “someday when something happens in a particular way, you will be ok and at peace and everything will be alright”. That is a great deception as everything happens in the now.

Narratives Of The Mind!

Even when it seems as if the Ego is concerned with the present moment, because of its wrong narratives from the false self-created, it misperceives it completely as it looks from the eyes of the past or the future and never the present which is truly where you are.

It reduces the present moment to a means to an end – the end being in the mind projected future it has conjured up and not necessarily what is before it thereby losing the truth of what it means to be living in the present moment.

What it means to just surrender totally to divine essence that created you and in surrender without trying to change anything or will thing to be as you want rather than as they should be.

In that moment, you will see the uniqueness and the unity in all life and you watch life and nature rearrange itself for your benefit always for the good of the whole.

You see how everything shows up for you to create what’s best for you as you learn the lesson you need to correct the mindset that has created these unwanted realities that the mind tries to shield you away from acting in the capacity to shield and protect you.

Observe your mind and see how it works for a day, you will catch this truth.

Taking responsibility and recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a reality for most people.

Taking responsibility to see life differently without justification, judgement and blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long run.

Every condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.

Every problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and guard them jealously.

Nothing can stop you if you have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move through your limitations.

‘Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love’

The purpose of life is to discover who you really are, know and create yourself and experience yourself as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a part of the divine source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of the divine.

As long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a challenge that you can overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will pay you back handsomely.

A lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to the current life until you get the lesson right or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the last experience until you recognize it.

This is an interactive universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons and life whether we want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.

Our fears always surface when we least expect it and when it does, its better to face the lesson and conquer it.

You can take back control of your life and drive it the way you would rather want it to be and have things and have things the way you want it to be.

It takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life because whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:

1. THOUGHTS

2. WORDS

3. ACTION

Nobody wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t take you far except you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and desire to turn it around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions come in.

If and when you are now truly ready to take back control and look out for the patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind aberrations that are causing your problems and have taken control of your life.

That’s when the creative centers open within and you can finally have the tools to help you change the course of your life and manifest your destiny.

To succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the prevailing situation or condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to succeed.

The most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and that you understand that you are entitled to abundance in your life.

You can do anything you want to and be anything you want to, provided you believe that it is possible.

Victims do not hold that belief!

So ask yourself – are you a victim?
