| EGO |
| False identity = EGO = I am material human body, body that is born and dies During this limited time between birth and death, I have to experience as much happiness as I can. I will feel happy when I feel good about myself; I feel good when I am comparatively better than “others.” |
| I want to be famous, have a good name in society, a big personality = I want to prove to others that I am good |
| I want to be seen as a powerful and beautiful person = I am conscious that people are watching me |
| Whatever I want should be fulfilled = Everything should be in a way that makes me happy |
| I feel like people try to dominate = I should be more powerful than others. People should respect me |
| I hate to hear anything negative about myself because then I feel I am small or stupid = so no one should blame me |
| I should always be appreciated for every small thing I do = I work very hard to get that. I should be the best when compared to others |
| I should always have someone to help me = If I am ignored I feel like I am non existent, feel like a vacuum inside |
| I feel depressed when I am alone = I need others to make me feel I exist and I am significant |
| I am very sensitive to being reprimanded or blamed = I cannot afford to be disliked by others, they give me validation |
| I get attached very easily = I thrive on the validation that I get, so others are very important |
| I get hurt very easily, then I prefer to be alone = Others don’t give me what I want, so I would rather find some happiness in “things” |
| YOU |
| Real identity = Soul, shining star, a point of divine light The soul is the “driver of the car, the human body.” The soul is divine energy, never created nor destroyed, it is eternal. All souls are unique like the 7 unique colours of the rainbow. There can be no comparison. All souls have innate qualities same like the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, God. |
| I am originally peaceful and a loveful soul. My Supreme Father is the ocean of love, peace, and purity. This ocean is my inheritance. |
| I am eternal = I am eternally good and beautiful, a shining star, a point of light |
| I am a divine angel = I am originally pure and powerful |
| I am the divine child of God = I am originally happy and blissful |
| I am a self sovereign energy being = I am knowledgeful |
| I am not this body, I am the ruler/driver/master of the body. Body may be imperfect but as a soul, I know I am good. |
| I use the body to play my role as a daughter/wife/mother. I play my role independently. That gives meaning to my life. |
| Selflessness gives me blessings and fulfilment. |
| I remember my real identity so I am egoless. |
| I am not a material body, I am independent, detached, yet loving. |
| I am the beloved child of the Supreme Father and so is everyone. I love my Father and my soul siblings. |
Manifestations of EGO
| Comparison: I want to prove I am good, so I compare with others to prove it. (But actually the eternal divine energy is here to just express itself not to prove) |
| Attachment: I love, care, and I am concerned and worried “only” for my body, “my” family, my house, my luxuries, my things, my circle because these give me my identity. (But actually my real identity is I am a shining star, a point divine light) |
| Fear: I have limited time. Before I die, I have to enjoy a lot of things, and prove who I am. I fear death, disease, hurt, pain. (But actually I have endless time, no beginning no end of my happiness) |
| Anxiety: I don’t want to accept that I have fear/insecurity, I want to show that I do understand the reality, so I hide my fear. (But actually I just need an inner knowing that I am eternal and originally good) |
| Insecurity: I don’t want to lose anything. What is mine, should remain with me forever. (But actually I am a soul, a point of light, made of divine energy, on the journey of life) |
| Jealousy: I want to be number one, I want to be the best, no one should be happier or better than me. (But actually all souls are as beautiful and good, but unique, how can one colour from the rainbow be the best) |
| Greed: What I have, defines me. If I have more, I am great. If I have less, I am small and insignificant. (But actually, I am a divine energy being, by definition, the energy carries only divinity along, nothing else) |
| Stubbornness/Inflexibility: I want to be the most powerful, I want to enjoy the maximum, so I insist on what I say. (But actually I am eternally happy and peaceful soul) |
| Self pity: I feel so sorry for myself. I feel like I am not getting what I deserve, I have nothing good for myself. I am in a needy state (Whereas truth is that I was created complete and fulfilled as a soul). |
| Depression/Anger: I have failed to prove myself. I feel like I am not getting what I desire. There’s dissatisfaction and disappointment. So I am sad or angry. (Actually I as a soul have limitless love, comfort, power, and happiness. There is no scarcity.) |
