Learning to Recognize Your Ego

What is an ego?

Well, in case you did not know it, we all have one. The ego is the logical sane part of your mind that permits you to separate yourself from folk. You employ it every day to guage eventualities, folk and circumstances in the method of making sane calls.

When I assert "I am Sonia Devine", I'm identifying with this part... MY ego.

Infrequently the Ego is related to an inflated sense of pride or audacity. As an example, when we discuss somebody who is behaving arrogantly, folks frequently say this person has a "huge Ego". But it is a ton more than that. It's got a definite purpose. It is in charge of arranging the different parts of the Self to form some wholeness and integration. All of us need this to function effectively as homo sapiens. So how can this fit in with your self esteem? When we focus too much on this part, we start to become separated from the rest of humanity, and outside forces have more control over us.

For example, does the quality of your self image rely on any of the following?

If you are outlined by what you do as a living, then your self image is at the beck and call of this factor. So if you lose your job, where does this leave you? Would you continue to like and respect yourself if you were broke? It is in your nature to be conditioned to go after these superficial accomplishments, but I can let you in on a secret ; they have completely nothing to do with who you are! You are so way more than your physical body. Your soul is perfect just as it is, and it will continue to live on after you exit the Earth. Every one of us are connected by collective consciousness. When you're ready to see past the ego, you learn how to cultivate true self-reliance. You accept yourself as the perfect being that you are AT this very MOMENT- not for who you'll be when you have had your hair fixed or gotten in with the right crowd.

When you can get past the ego, you experience true self love - and this comes from your higher knowledge.

Your understanding, your compassion, your strength are perfect - and these things are permanent.
