Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I keep thinking about the seperate self. Is it an entity? am I an entity that has been fed from birth by my mind and programming. The death of the seperate self is said to allow this true self to come forward so why is it hiding behind the ego, why is this divitity squashed down with the ego on top running the show. Is it like a seed within that needs to be nurtured as the ego has been nurtured since we can remember. Is my ego a bush that has grown out of control and the seed of god is still just a tiny little shoot but once that gets growing it overpowers and prunes that bush down to size to allow divine bush to flourish and flower. has mentioned that his ego is not dead but it is still there and is just a tiny part of him kept it check, does it know its meager place in the shadow of divinity. Whilst doing some volunteering there was talk about me doing some " shake a can " work where you hang about in a mall entrance and shake a chariety tin for a collection. I thought that it would be somthing that i could do well because of my ability to build rappor quickly with strangers (one of my few known skills...). The lady mentioned that when your time was up you would hand the can over to the next volunteer that turned up. I then felt dissapointed that i would not be achknowledged for the amount of money i would have raised. I was immediately shocked at myself for having this feeling, I had it and then i was like " what was THAT about " . mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey Mark! I am so glad that you brought this up. I have thought about this many times as I have recognized my own(annoying)ego. Its like we are already possessed and need to wake up. I don't have an answer but I appreciate you bringing this to light. With Love, Jennifer , " sinebyte " <sinebyte wrote: > > I keep thinking about the seperate self.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The way I am seeing it lately, is that the veil, the net, the screen, and the ego self are all one and the same thing. It is a tool of concealment of our higher self created. Without it we would not be able to experience this world of physical illusion. It was a necessary thing we created when we pulled away from the creator to descend here to this plane of existance. We had to descend all the way to the physical in order to seperate completely. The little i is the self that is part of the illusion. The higher self, the big I is our true self. I can see all that(head knowledge), but do not really understand the reason we chose to do it. We broke into billions of pieces to experience the illusion of duality....ARE WE CRAZY! Hehe! From what I am gathering from my kabbalah class, we were not happy just being the created being, we wanted to be the exact same as the Creator so we are getting our desire which is our vessel to recieve, but we have to go through all this illusive stuff to get there...to learn to become that. A giver rather than a reciever, but we only have our selves to give to, since the CREATOR doesn't need anything. LOL! I am wondering if/when we ascend to be just a giver will we stay our separate selves. Can we really tranform from being the holy grail/recievers to being the Creator/the light that fills the cup? Or will we always be the two that is one? Both reciever and giver gods with our light part contained in a vessel/body. Don't ask me! To be deperate or not to be seperate? Which would be more fun? To be both, would that make us more than or less than? Linda , " notshowboating " <jennifer.burgueno wrote: > > Hey Mark! > > I am so glad that you brought this up.
