Ego - The False Self





....
....
What is ego? I'm not going to define it or debate it, I am going to tell you outright what ego is: ego is the false self we build up from the day we are born. It is a character, or a persona if you will. It is not "real" or "legit" or "..​authentic"..​.​.​.​.​

Let me explain...

When you are born, you are innocent, trusting, requiring nothing more than love, nurturing, and care. As you grow up, your family, eventually your school and friends and society around you, help you to shape your personality...

Imagine for a moment, that you grew up completely differently than you did. Imagine you were rich, if you grew up poor, or that you were black if you are white or Asian or Latino. Imagine that your childhood was completely different than it was in your memory, and then ask yourself "Would my personality be the same?"...

Of course not. There would be different factors, status-wise, heritage and culturally, societal. You would be a completely different person on the "inside" if your outside circumstances were different than they had been for you...

So now come back to you - who you believe yourself to be. You can probably define yourself in a few words or statements, such as "I am strong" or "I am compassionate" or "I am depressed", right? You can sum up your personality, your persona and character. This is because you have finely tuned, honed and perfected your persona as the years have gone by. You have been told by family and friends "you are so funny!" and so you continue to be funny. Or you were told in school "you have a learning disability" so you continue to perpetuate that disability upon yourself. You may have been told "you are ugly" by someone in the past, and that has sat eating at your confidence for years later...

All of these things, these definitions and labels, are nothing more than collected information of a "past you" which is not real. The past is gone. So should be the "you" who you identified yourself being in that past. Hold on to the memories, for they are part of your whole heritage in this lifetime, however, let yourself be liberated of the stereotypes, labels, and stigmas...

The Spirit - the truth of who you Are, is God. The Universe. Oneness. Essence. Light. Call "it" what you will, but in the grandest scheme of all things - you are the only One of you there is. Beyond your mind. Beyond your identity...
....
When you realize that the ego is nothing more than a collection of responses, insecurities, fears, and doubts, you can then easily shed it, watch it fall away and reveal the true Self. The ego is a character in a play - the true self is the Author...

It is natural to identify with your personality, in fact I was quite attached to mine for a very long time, having an internal struggle of faith based on my fear of letting my identity go. But I eventually realized, I am not letting go any of the beauty I love about "my Self"... rather I am stripping away the false layers of ego (pain) by revealing the truth of Self - One...

Ego will fight to remain as you...

Ego is nothing more than a tool - created at a very early age to help you relate and identify in your human body - conditioned by all around you to behave the way it now does. And when you really grasp within your heart that it is not "real", it will rebel. That is a wonderful thing to move through, because it gives you opportunity after opportunity to re-align your thoughts to those of your truth, and to put ego in it's place - which is nowhere...

Ego is not real. It is a character on stage. Nothing more. Scripted - and scripts can be re-written...

Let the Author be the star on the stage ..

As for the ego of other people - you can not change them. You can only accept that they are letting the character on stage call the shots, and you can love them for being lost in the illusion of the performance, and you can see within them a reflection of yourself...

Because we are all One outside of the ego game...

I hope this is helpful to anyone who is reading it...

Isis
The Great Lady; Queen of Earth; Light Giver of Heaven; Mistress of Magic; The Many Named; Queen of the Throne; She Who Is Rich in Spells; Great of Sorcery; Redemptress; Star of the Sea; The One Who is All; Mother of Gods

Photobucket

Also known as Au Set (sometimes spelled Auset-English spelling)
Origin Egypt

Isis maybe the most venerated goddess on Earth. Venerated in Egypt for thousands of years, her worship eventually spread from East Africa throughout Western Asia and Europe as far as England’s Thames River.

Isis is so multifaceted that the Greeks identified her with Aphrodite, Artemis, Demeter, and Persephone. The story of Isis and Osiris, her beloved twin brother/soul mate, is among the most beloved romantic tragedies. Isis is the lady of many names and many forms. She is the beautiful young, privileged princess and the grieving, poverty-....stricken widow dressed in rags. She is the greatest sorceress on Earth, in possession of the Ineffable Name, the most powerful word in creation and the poverty-....stricken single mother in hiding, force dot beg to feed herself and her son. Isis maybe the unnamed narrator of the Gnostic poem, “Thunder, Perfect Mind.”

Isis is the most compassionate of deities because she has lived the life of an oppressed woman, she is the most powerful, because as Mistress of Magic, she knows all and can do all. Isis can resurrect the dead and can bestow the gift of fertility. She heals the ailing and protects travelers at sea. There is no miracle that she cannot perform.

Isis was a relatively late goddess to appear in Egypt, first emerging in the Nile Delta but rapidly, became on of the most beloved. Like Hathor, with whom she was identified, Isis is a cow-goddess. Her devotees traditionally refrain from consuming beef.

Veneration of Isis was officially introduced to Rome in 86 BCE, where she became extremely popular because, unlike other religions, her cult was open to all, including woman and slaves. Her spiritual tradition developed a bad reputation in conservative Rome, because of its alleged licentiousness,.... and was legally suppressed at least five times between 59 and 48 BCE.

Even after abolition of Paganism, veneration of Isis was extremely persistent. Her last official temple on the southern Egyptian island of Philae survived until 537 CE, when Narses, Commander of Emperor Justinian’s Egyptian troops, ordered it shut. Votive statues of Isis, Osiris, and Min were confiscated and sent to Constantinople..... Temple clergy was imprisoned. The walls of the shrine, previously adorned with images, were whitewashed, and the temple was converted to a Christian church.

Although Isis is mainly identified with ancient Egypt, the Romans carried her veneration throughout Europe. She became extremely popular in Gaul and was for substantial period the preeminent goddess of Paris. Paris was considered her city as Lyon belonged to Kybele. Isis was among the last Pagan deities to be actively venerated, and she was perceived as a primary competitor of early Christians.

In Lucius Apuleius’ second-century CE Roman novel, The Golden Ass, Isis tells the narrator that only Egyptians and Ethiopians call her by her true name (Au Set), but that she has countless names to which she answers. This may have been a tacit way of giving devotees permission to venerate her in other forms and under other names. Many believe that Isis assumed the mask of Mary, Mother of Christ. The earliest Christians statues of Mary were refurbished, renamed statues of Isis. Much Marian iconography is based on that of Isis. Many of Isis’ titles were bestowed on Mary as for instance Stella Maris; Theotokos, and Mother of God. Statues of Isis also traveled the Silk Road and may eventually have evolved into Kwan Yin.

Favored People Theoretically everyone, but especially women, single mothers, orphans, occultists, and mariners.

Manifestation Isis is an incredible magician can take any form she chooses. She may manifest as a cow, kite, or swallow. She may appear as a beautiful queen, a pregnant woman, or a woman absolutely devastated by despair and grief.

Iconography Isis is portrayed in many forms:

- Traditionally images of Isis are the prototype of the modern Madonna and Child. A woman, frequently carved from black stone, which in Egyptian cosmology represents eternal life, holds a nursing baby to her breast.
- She wears a crown topped by a throne (the meaning of her name, ”The Throne”)
- The Louvre Museum in Paris possesses a rare terra-cotta image of beautiful Isis weeping for her true love, Osiris

God and Goddess Allies Isis is frequently accompanied by an entourage of Gods and Goddesses, including; Anubis (........Anpu-....Egyptian), Nephthys, Heket (not to be confused with Hekate), Min, Bes, Khnum, Selket, Osiris (........Ausar-....Eyptian), Horus (her son-Heru in Egyptian), and the Scorpion Guardians. In general, Isis is friendly, gregarious goddess who will share her alter with anyone.

Emblem The tyet amulet (shown above), also known as the Buckle of Isis or Blood of Isis is a protective amulet usually formed from cornelian or red glass and representing the goddess’ menstrual blood-soaked sanitary pad: the power of life, death, and welfare.

Colors Black, blue
Element Water
Botanicals Vervain, myrrh tree, sycamore fig
Mineral Bloodstone
Metal Gold
Sacred Creatures Snakes, cows, crocodiles, scorpions, kites (type of raptor), swallow
Planet Moon
Constellation Virgo

Scared Sites There is a theory that the name Paris derives from Par-Isis, meaning the barque or grove of Isis. In Roman times, Isis had temples at the western limits of the city, the marshes on the Left Bank of the Seine. The churches of Saint Sulpice and Saint Germain-....des-Pres are built over sites once dedicated to Isis

Offerings Traditionally Isis accepts offerings of milk, honey, flowers, incense, and candles.

Love vs. Power: Earthly vs. Spiritual
~Unknown



What we call “love” on the earthly level is not love at all. “Love” on the earthly level is about getting something for ourselves - approval, security, attention, understanding, sex, affection. Love on the spiritual level is about giving something to ourselves and others - caring, compassion, understanding, attention, affection. Love on the earthly level is about getting our emptiness filled by things, activities, substances and people. Love on the spiritual level is about learning to fill ourselves internally through connecting with our own essence and with God, receiving the energy of love and compassion from God and sharing it others.

Power on the earthly level is about controlling events and people; power on the spiritual level is about personal empowerment - power within. It includes the power to receive love and wisdom from Spirit, realize our creative potential and manifest our dreams. Spiritual power is the power to remain loving and compassionate in the face of fear.

Our beliefs about God are often at the root of our choice to operate primarily from an earthly perspective or a spiritual perspective.

It is essential to understand that the Creator gave all souls free will. This means that you get to decide your own purpose in life, your deepest desires, your way of being. You decide whether you are going to be loving or unloving, responsible for your own feelings and behavior or put the blame on others. You decide if you are going to be open to learning about your pain or avoid it with your various anesthetics - your addictions. You decide if your deepest motivation is to love yourself and others or to maintain “safety” by protecting yourself against loneliness, rejection and failure.

When your deepest desire is to be safe rather than loving, you close your heart to avoid feeling your pain. When you close your heart, you cannot feel God - God can only enter through an open heart. Free will means that God has chosen to relinquish power over your will. Even God cannot control your intent - that is, your deepest desire in any given moment.

God is an omnipotent energy that you can open to and invite into your heart, but God cannot enter your heart unbidden. Once you shift your intent and ask God to help heal your wounds and teach you to be loving to yourself and others, then the Spirit of love, compassion and wisdom that is God will always be there for you. But it is you who must decide to open or close your heart. No force outside of yourself can open your heart to God. When our hearts are closed to ourselves, we are also closed to the suffering of others.

You may believe there is nothing you can ever do that will please God. You may believe that God sees you as inherently flawed, “born into sin,” and there is nothing you can do to change this. You might believe that no matter how hard you try, in the end you will be punished for sin: God will never forgive you for being human. But if you are “created in the image of God,” meaning that you have the same love within you that is God, then it is not possible for you to be inherently flawed. That would mean you were created imperfect; God doesn’t do substandard work. Nor is God unforgiving. Unconditional love is, by definition, forgiving.

When we do believe in God but feel ourselves unlovable and unworthy, we may believe that we can be instruments of God’s love for others but not for ourselves. You may conclude that God has chosen certain people who deserve to be blessed, while ignoring others, who do not deserve it. This conclusion, as with many of the other false beliefs about God, comes from seeing God as an unloving, judgmental, vengeful person rather than as an unconditionally....​.​.​.​.​​.​​.​​​.​​​.​​​ loving Spirit or Supreme Being. People have favorite people. God doesn’t. People think some people are more deserving than others. God doesn’t.

When you believe that God is a person or that God is demanding, controlling and judgmental, then you may believe that God put you here as a punishment (because you are inherently bad) or because God doesn’t love you. This false belief relieves you of the responsibility of choosing to heal, of evolving your soul. When you remember that you came here to evolve in lovingness, then you will understand that being alive is truly a sacred opportunity, a sacred privilege.
