    How To Train Your Ego 

    Where did your ego come from?

    Gen 3:5

    For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

    There needs to be an awareness to understand the created spiritual self, and the flesh-mind self. The flesh-mind self was created when the spirit-soul was birthed into the flesh. Distinctly different, but connected. Scripture refers this to the inner man, and the image of the earthly and the heavenly.

    Eph 3:16

    That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

    1Co 15:49 

    And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 

    Now establishing the ego, the outer man is largely responsible for what comes from the mind-brain. The outer man takes presidence over the inner man because of the awareness of “life” from the self through the 5 senses and not the created spirit.

    Ego likes to think it is protecting your best interests based mostly upon past experiences. Past experiences that may not reflect the right thinking in the present-now-moment.

    The ego thinks it acts in one’s best interests balancing the humans external world with its internal self. In essence though, it has overtaken the true spiritual self and is compromising it in the world of duality.There is no duality in the true spiritual self.

    The ego is the “god” in man as mentioned in Gen 3:5 with awareness stemming from the mind-brain. The ego-god relates to self-esteem, self-importance, and self-worth. That’s fine, but it puts the mind in thinking of the “self” being above others, (as gods), when in fact all created souls are equal in any given situation or experience at any time.

    1Co 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 

    1Co is saying that the corruptible, which is a spiritual death from a flesh perspective, must draw the spiritual self into current awareness. The spiritual self that is immortal.

    Mark 7:15-16  There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    Saying that the flesh world offers the duality of life in opposition to love. Opposition, or duality that is from the established freedom of the soul. The freedom to freely choose life, or to choose entertaining what defiles him.

    The spiritual self knows only of the knowledge of but not the experiences of “feelings” from the flesh such as fear, anxiety, anger, resentment, insecurity, doubt, pride, arrogance, worry, distress, and alike that are commonalities of this flesh world.

    If the ego would have any qualities about it, the mind-self would have the ongoing awareness having confidence, humility, empathy, being less self-centered, and understanding in everything that is projected from the mind to the senses. Control coming from the spiritual self. The spiritual self when under present awareness is able to control the ego and the products stemming from the duality of goodness and negativity.

    Experiences that would be opposite of love, freedom, faith, trust, and alike from the spiritual self, that are connected to God, are then compromised by the ego.

    The ego-flesh-mind thinks it’s balancing or making up for what the true spirit stands for that is not being accessed.

    The ego “judges” every minute detail and feels like there has to be some kind of determination from “whatever experience”, either from itself or what is sees from others. Judgement should be coming from the spiritual self and not the flesh-ego self. The ego will “justify” from the flesh perspective and not the spiritual perspective in which the spirit was created.

    The changes begin from the flesh creating a false separation from the true self, just as the same separation is “felt” in the souls relationship with God and neighbor. 

    If a soul would understand that it’s true self is perfect and the mind-self has trust and faith in God, the ego has little purpose. If there is any purpose of the ego, it would be in having confidence, in faith and total trust in God’s control, and having empathy for others in any given situation and allowing them to live from the freedoms that itself chooses to live from.

  • Ego

    EGO

    Your ego is a mental organ that functions in the structure of our personality creating emotions in our lives.

    Your ego hides behind opinions that have the appearance to be in truth.

    Your ego generates deceptive powerful emotional reactions and blames us or others for how it makes us feel.

    The ego produces a false sense of protection based upon events of the past that establishes an opinion of present and future events. A false sense of protection simply because ego can not predict the future nor establish any basis on an event being in truth. This emotional reaction is not from your spiritual self but rather from your flesh physical brain/mind that can be manifested by your senses. With your ego not being able to predict the future and its basis is from the past, how can that be any assurance of correctly seeing a present situation or a future event?

    Isn’t that why we have faith and trust in God?

    And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph 4:30

    If you are “sealed” with the Holy Spirit of God, what is the need for your ego to “protect” you or lead you into false thoughts?

    Every created soul is no different then the next other then in personality-conscience. God’s love is always the same in any given instance or situation no matter what loves or evils are manifested in the mind or from the senses.

    The understanding is in knowing that Creation is in the truth and goodness and all of Creation is linked together and have equal importance no matter what the “mind” thinks and the senses “feel”.

    Think past the weakness of the flesh-mind-ego unto the truth of your created spirit-soul knowing that God did not create some flawed soul that seems to think it needs to protect itself. (Gen.3-5)

  • Are You Fulfilled?

    Are You Fulfilled?

    Luke 21:31-33  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 

    When ye see these things come to pass. The word is talking to you, when “ye see”, the kingdom is nigh at hand. Nothing said about Hell being nigh at hand, in fact, in Luke 21:24, “until the times of the Gentiles (non-Jews) be fulfilled. Until all have come to the kingdom.”

    What is fulfilled or to be fulfilled?

    Time is fulfilled. (Mark 1:15)

    All things which are written may be fulfilled. (Luke 21:22)

    This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. (Luke 21:32)

    The word might be fulfilled. (John 15:25)

    Scripture may be fulfilled. (John 17:12, James 2:23)

    The saying of Jesus might be fulfilled. (John 18:32) Relating to His death.

    The law being and is fulfilled. (Rom 8:4,) In one word; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Gal 5:14)

    Having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2Co 10:6)

    Words of God shall be fulfilled. (Rev 17:17)

    As said in 2Co 10:6, when your ready to “revenge all disobedience”, then your obedience is fulfilled which then the kingdom is now at hand and within you. (Luke 21:31) see also; (Luke 17:21)

    The original text wording gives a deeper understanding on what fulfilled means. Fulfilled in the original Greek Text is;

    G4137 πληρόω From G4134; to make replete, that is, (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction) G4134 πλήρης From G4130; replete, or covered over; by analogy complete: – full. G4130 πλήθω A prolonged form of a primary word πλέω (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form of πίμπλημι to “fill” (literally or figuratively [imbue, influence, supply]); specifically to fulfil (time): – accomplish, full (come), furnish.

    The mystery of salvation;

    Romans 11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
