the ego (false self) versus the soul (true self)

We are born into life as a pure little spirit full of life and love. As we begin to experience life we create an Ego (personality) that is part of our outer persona. It is the part of us that is programmed according to what we experience in life and stores is as a “reference point” for all future experiences that we encounter in life.

The Ego is the part of us that is conditioned by our childhood programming. It is a kaleidoscope of ever-changing energies: thought energies, emotional currents, instinctual forces, the energetic tensions in our personal history. These energies are stored in our cells, DNA, chakras, meridians and aura.

Although the Ego relates to both higher and lower emotions, it relates more to the lower emotions, which are negative such as fear, anger, jealously, hatred, resentment, betrayal, abuse, etc

 

The Ego is aware that there is a Soul, but it doesn’t know how to connect to it until it first clears the past. The Soul watches over and guides the Ego without interfering. It tries to get our attention but we forgot how to listen. The Ego filters everything through fear and the Soul filters everything through Love. These are two different energies with different frequencies.

 

The Soul relates to balance and harmony, in absence of conflict and separateness. The Soul is part of a higher consciousness, awareness and centeredness. The Soul relates to the higher emotions of unconditional love, gratitude, joy, peacefulness, and compassion. The Soul is often called the Higher Self, Essence, Oneness or Spirit.
