Disclaimer: I know nothing! It is not this author’s responsibility to convince or even suggest any individual believe what is written here, it is the sole (soul ) responsibility of each individual to decide what their journey means to them. This author understands all things are a form of energy, only in the illusory world made up by the ego.
There is no way to really explain the ego seeing it doesn’t exist. I will use the story of creation to show how it may be seen in Genesis. ( Adam and Eve ) Yes I know there has been a lot of manipulation in all of what we call history. ( HIS STORY )
This like all things has to be looked at through the eyes of LOVE ( CHRIST – HOLY SPIRIT )
Here we have the Son of God believing it can be separate from the Father. This decision was one of separation and the cause of consciousness which brought us to believe in duality.
Genesis 1:1 ” In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Next we have a split mind, still within one mind. This could be seen as hermaphrodites.
Genesis 1:27 ” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. “
Here we have the second split, the choice to listen to the Holy Spirit or the ego ( serpent ) The mind splits from itself and chooses the ego. This all happens still in the mind.
Genesis 3:1-4 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Next we have the third split, the mind now moves outside of itself. This is what is called the hiding place. This is thought becoming projection.
Genesis 2:21 ” And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; ” ( It never states Adam woke up )
Genesis 2:22 ” And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. “
Here is the fourth split, the projection of the world and bodies made outside of Heaven ( Mind ). We think we left Heaven and are hiding from God. The bodies we think we see reinforce the separation.
Look at the Garden of Eden as Heaven ( Mind )
Genesis 3:24 ” So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Here is the beginning of the dream, believing He ( The Son of God ) is in exile while never leaving Heaven. From here the ego keeps projecting and expanding and now everything is perceived to be outside of the mind. Every thought becomes a projection which in turn becomes our perception.
Everything we see is an illusion of our projected thoughts. We have the choice to believe and follow the ego thought system or the Holy Spirit thought system. One will teach you a world of separation, fear, hate, war, destruction, poverty, murder and judgement all filled with sin and guilt. All this is happening in the split mind of the Son of God.
The Holy Spirit will teach you Wholeness, Love, Joy, Happiness, Gratitude, Forgiveness and Peace. Seeing all your brothers and sisters sinless and guiltless.
We chose to follow the ego thought system and the ego is who we believe we are. Our reality is we are all The Son of God filled with Christ`s Love in the wholeness of the Father.
I leave you with this to ponder:
Love does not cast out or kill, or it wouldn’t be love. It would not force His Son to leave Heaven.
Infinite Love to All

Your posts always leave me meditating on the subject at hand. Everyone has thoughts that we tend to want to hold on to, but the ego is always there.
Thanks Terri for your comment. Yes the ego is always there. I don`t deny this. I recognize this, for this is the only way to fix the problem. I forgive myself for making the ego seem real, I then turn to the Holy Spirit for help.
it’s very nice post on ego, i loved the content very much
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
We chose to come here but were tempted by satan to do so, he said something like: come on down! Look at all the fun selfish stuff you can do to seek pleasure for yourself.” And so we did, and now we must pay the price. He who learns must suffer.
Thank you for your input. Yes we chose to be here, because we are the one who made up this dream.
