Ego versus Higher Consciousness
Ego versus Higher Consciousness
· The opposite of Love is fear.
· Do not live from your EGO, live out of your Higher Consciousness. Remember, Ego teaches separateness.
· With each painful experience of feeling alone, apart or separate, ego tightens its hold.
· Your ego is your concept of yourself. What you “think” you should be. You are looking at the outside for what is in the inside.

So many egos have hurt and harmed so many people that the word "ego" which is simply Latin for "I" has become akin to evil at worst, and morally wrong at best. I have discovered within me the ability to sink inside my heart (soulselfegomind) and listen, feel, sense, and find not just comfort if even comfort but profound indubidible self-acceptance. Separate? From What or Whom I do not know. I merely stop asking, "What is the purpose of Life, and by extension, Death?" Life is for life and death is for death and life is for death and death is for life and that's all. Why do I write poetry? Why not? If the heart of The Spirit of Life is also streaming through your heart and my heart and everyone elses hearts, than I am a poet because that is how Life is being made manifest through me. Does this mean I am not a self? Well, I myself believe I am my heart and that heart is interwoven with The Heart and Soul of Life because my heart is the soul and Mind and Heart and God and All just as is yours and everyone elses. Realize it? Fine. Don't realize it? Fine. I am not above anyone because of my faith. I am simply more myself because of my "Love of Life, Love of Love, and giving without measure (that) gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen. Walk hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the Threshold of a Dream. . . ." where nothing is an illusion versus real or reality versus trickery. I trust that trust is not necessary when I am just being what Life has given me to be. How do I know I'm living it right? I don't "know." I just am. Perfect? Pure? Free? I just am--false teeth, too fat, too silly, too tired, too poor, too happy, too excited, too intense, too light, too dark, too wise, too wild. I just am whatever and whoever I am. HOW am I? Fine, thank you, and HOW are you? How am I being myself? I just am. Are you being yourself? I'm not taking dictation, and I hope you are not taking dictation either. I rest, and my heart speaks through layers of imagined and unimagined silence. Ego/I feels good. A woman left her purse on a seat in a restaurant. I stood up from my seat, picked up her purse, and ran to catch her. She said, "Thank you." I said, "Your welcome." I didn't do that because I wanted to be right or because doing it was right. I did it because I care. And I don't care because I want to be right. I don't care because it is my moral obligation to be caring. I care because it is in me to care. Who taught me that? I taught me that by surrendering to my passion, my soul, my heart, myself. It makes me feel alive. It makes me feel human. And feeling human is my way of feeling Life. I have been to Hell, and I have learned how to heal the burns and mend the wounds of my sicknesses. Being able to walk, talk, think, feel, laugh, cry, taste, write, live--my God Jay--thanks for letting me heal some more. I hope you are well. Blessed be, I
