Soul vs Ego
Unleash Your Soul
The awareness of ones “self”, is the quiet whisper that you hear telling you not to give up. The living energy that is and always has lived within all of us, that entered our physical body. This is your Soul!
Now that you've met... its important to know the difference between the soul and the ego. You need to observe yourself, your thoughts deeply to be able to identify the difference. Doing so without the baggage of the past, the expectations of the world and the conditioned thoughts of the Ego.
It is in stillness, the present moment, free of brain chatter, that you will be able to connect.
The left side of the brain is considered the seat of the Ego, the left brain function is logical, opinionated and with resonance, where as the the right brain connects to creativity, imagination, intuition and spirituality.
Beyond the physical body is our inner being, our spirit, our soul, the higher consciousness, it is infinite, has no shelf life as the mind and body do. This living energy that gives us life, expands beyond the physical body, And makes up your aura. This energy never dies, and I believe has lived many earthly lives.
Many of us overtime have been so conditioned to ideas and beliefs of the ego and of the views and opinions of the world! Conditioned by the world standards of which man has set and based on the beliefs of man.
Let the voice you choose to hear be that of your soul... be the awareness of your thoughts, the witness and let the words you speak and the life you live, reflect this.
Quiet the ego, so that in the stillness you will be able to hear and receive universal wisdom and knowledge from the Divine source. The soul is directly connected to the Divine source, the universe and to your souls purpose. Therefore the soul does not feel shame, guilt or fear.
THE EGO
Our Ego is the result and reflection of the world. It’s desire is to be accepted, to fit in to what is socially acceptable. It’s the voice of fear, worry and pessimism. It's worth is based on material gain and worldly successes. Living too much from the ego is imprisonment to the soul. The ego is never satisfied, it is conditioned, always seeking more.
Recognizing the ego takes some honest self reflection. Everyone has an ego, it's the part that makes us human. It is which separates us from others.

THE SOUL
The soul or our spirit is an extension of the Divine creator. The word spirit means the breath of life. The spiritual energy to which lives in the shell of the physical body. It has no gender. It is the living life energy that is the eternal light within all of us and connects us to everything. Set your soul free. It is the I AM, the only thing about you that never changes.
In the Bible Moses asked the burning bush, that spoke to him, who are you, and the voice answered, I AM THAT I AM, in translation, God.
For myself, this amazes me, we all can connect to this I AM, our soul is the I AM, it’s not the body nor the mind, it is the I AM , that will always be, infinite, never aging nor changing.
