Ego: What Is It And Is It Important?
by Johnathan Brooks
Ego Self, or Local Self our Human Nature
Ego = Personality = Thought, Emotion and Physical levels.
The personality is also called the Egoic Self. There are many sub personalities within the ego self – fear, anxiety, jealousy, possessiveness, lack of self worth etc.
The Ego is not destroyed it is TRANSCENDED.
“Find me somebody who has detached his emotional and psychological ego from the real Self, without having to deny the place it plays in the scheme of things and without slaying any part of himself because the transcendence is there….a direct pathway to the Soul.” ~ Ernest Holmes
There is nothing wrong with ‘ego’ itself if we definite it as ‘personality’. Having a personality is fine and makes for some interesting characters and choices in life. It is not bad either, but patterns of reactivity (habits) have become ingrained over many incarnations because it (the ego personality) suffers from the illusion that it is separate from the Source of our Being.
Problems arise if we only operate from our ego alone as our personalities are unreliable and our ego is not all that we are.
We are body, mind, spirit, soul, emotions as well.
Walk in Peace;
Walk in Beauty.
