Segment: You and Your Ego

You and Your Ego


The Ego and you don’t see eye to eye. Your Ego sees you much differently than you do. The Ego is not your best friend even though you like to live through it. You believe that the Ego “is” you, but it is not the real you. The truth lies within you and that is your Higher Consciousness.
Have you been driving your car and ever had an emergency vehicle come up behind you, and as you looked in the rearview mirror, you saw the words AMBULANCE written backwards? Let’s think about that. When you look in the mirror at yourself, you see everything backwards. Your right side of your face is the left side of your face. The left arm is your right arm. Please recognize that this is a rearward view that you are seeing and you make the apposite alteration.
Do you confuse reality with the figure that you see in the mirror? Of course, you do not. Ego is a lot like the image in the mirror, without the backwards adjustment. The Ego wants you to look for the inside on the outside. The outer false impression is the major obsession of the Ego. Your Higher Self is to reflect your inner reality rather than the outer false impression.
The solution to your Higher Consciousness is about you freeing yourself from the Ego supported delusion that the ultimate meaning and satisfaction of your life will be found outside of yourself.
The Ego is a wall that we build. People, (in the words of President Ronald Reagan), “Tear Down That Wall.”
