What is Ego?
Ego is synonymous with fear. It is an impostor, posing as the real you.
First and foremost, ego is an ILLUSION. It has NO power over us and does not even exist; but as long as we believe in it, it appears to have power and to be very real. So for the purpose of clarification, I will share here the "seeming power" ego has when we are believing it to be true. It is this "seeming power" or thinking we need ego here, that contorts our view of Reality, of Self and of what True power is.
Ego is synonymous with fear. It is an impostor, posing as the real you. It is a fast paced thought system, that is quick to judge, blame and be confused. It speaks loud and first, thus it is easy to mistaken it for your “own” voice. I have found that most people don't even realize how furiously insistent this mind is until they are AWARE of all its chatter. We all can bring awareness to our minds, in order to listen and realize that this mind is non-stop within us.
Ego is the mind of separation, that we collectively as Souls, agreed to have as a means of perceiving the unreal. As the infinite Souls that we are, we wanted to experience what it might be like to be something that we are not. After this thought of curiosity entered, we forgot to laugh at it or see it as a joke; and instead, BAM, it birthed this ball of mass spinning through space along with all its galaxies and laws; and now we are birthed into this temporary dream world as bodies into this home we call Earth. After thousands of years on planet earth, we have forgotten that this was our agreement as Souls, and that we are responsible for it. Often we blame God or fail to question whats going on here. This is the very ignorance that keeps the suffering and egoic war cycle in motion.
If we listen to the ego and believe the thoughts it tells us real, then that's when we experience it as real in our life and world. Its a very sneaky-deaky and manipulative thought system that delays, denies, and lies, directly to us, inside our own minds! The reason why this has gone on for so long, is we have yet to bring attention too it, and see it AS a thought system that we can undo (with help). Instead, the people of the world, including our self, is judged as bad, mean, evil and guilty; and that's "just the way they are". I have learned to see people as sick, mentally sick.. .and they need help, not further condemnation. Ego is a collective mental sickness, and there IS (thank God) a remedy for it.
Ego identifies with its home being within the body and in this world. Thus it is entirely limited in its thought process. It projects everything it thinks outside of itself, then tries to look out side for the answers to the problems it created. In short, the ego is insane and stands in as a false self, preventing us from remembering our True Self. This is its only purpose.
This mind is not clear and open, it is cluttered and confused. It stores ‘information’ that we have accepted from those outside us, including our parents, friends, television, teachers, magazines, religions, spirituality, billboards, news, movies, governments, history, cultures and more. It is our conditioned mind. It then acts like a filter with which we see the world. Therefore no one is having an accurate experience of whats really going on here (until they change their minds from wrong to right perception), for everyone is seeing through their own past conditioning of what is going on.
* PAUSE* I say none of this to make anyone feel bad about themselves or where they are are in their process. We ALL listen to ego when we first arrive on planet earth. Especially in having a daughter I realize ego is part of the human condition, we build it up, to then correct it. So please, know I am saying all of this with the sincerest love in my heart for you. In our awareness and understanding of what ego IS, we can do something about it...and that my aim, for us all to transcend out of ego and wake up from its sad dreams. If you are in an emotionally trying time, contact me, if you are called to, and I can help you as best I can. *Thank you*
Ego keeps us trapped with its brilliant defense mechanisms. It likes to sugar coats things with nice words and ideas so that we accept those thoughts and take ourselves on mental painful trips. It uses spirituality and religion, sexy bodies, education and lots of money to make certain egos look, act and talk better than other egos. Ego wants us to be different from everyone else, and to live life trying to make its self feel and look better or special or different in the eyes of others. This "difference" or in other words "in equality" is the ROOT of all evil! And indeed, we are seeing here, that Ego is the evil.
Ego projects, defends and attacks. It keeps us focused on what’s outside of us, reminding us of the past and keeping us afraid of our uncertain future. Ego jumps from the past to the future, never allowing us to have a stable fluid enjoyable experience in the NOW, which is where all Truth rests.
Separation (ego) is the one “problem” this world has, its ONLY solution is Union (Spirit). Yet ego has done a really good job at keeping us un-informed of our own Unified Will. Ego will even tempt us with ideas that we should just love the ego, and welcome it, for it is a part of the human experience and part of who we are. This is just a hoax to keep us believing in its teachings. Do NOT fall for it! We are NOT the ego, we are NOT split in our identity. God is not confused in who we are, only we are, because we are listening to TWO voices. (ego and Gods)
Beyond the ego, is the mind of Love that reminds us of our eternal unity and Peace. We must recognize the insanity of ego however, in order to move beyond it to that which is SANE. Our ego's, these bodies, are not what we are, and our believing in ego is the cause of all suffering and pain. Its time we looked at ego with the light and witness its unreality for ourselves. The instant we render it "useless" to us, it is gone, undone and able to be replaced by the Mind of Love instead. Here is where peace, happiness and purpose will be found. :)

"What if you looked within and saw NO sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego NEVER asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego’s whole defensive system too seriously for it to bother to pretend it is your friend. Your faith is moving inward, past insanity and on to reason." - A Course in Miracles T21
