“There are many religious and spiritual teachings today, that state the Ego must die and be replaced by God, the Spirit, or something else. This is Not true. You must become conscious that your spirit is part of Creator and is already a driving force within you. You have a choice to follow your inner spirit (your Higher Self Soul) or to follow the direction of your (Ego) Separate Self Consciousness. Both are within. You always have this choice.
It is Love, the fabric of the cosmos, that allows you to have this choice. The fact is, your spirit, (your Soul), is Ego-driven by its very nature to learn about itself, to experience, and to evolve. Remember, Evolution is never-ending. It is a constant in the cosmos (the many universes). So the Ego is not Bad or Good. It just is.
What the Ego does can become bad or good, according to the path it takes in life. As a Separate Self, the Ego can behave with God Consciousness that is joined with your Higher Godly path or the Ego can behave with a total lack of Consciousness and no realization of its connection with God. When the Ego follows the Separate Self Consciousness completely, it will become engrossed in
human emotions and can easily lose direction.
The Ego will never die. It cannot die since it is part of our energy. Also, remember that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, since it is a constant in the cosmos. Realize that energy can always be changed.
Instead, the Ego must be redirected to follow the inner guidance of your spirit (your Soul). When the Ego is redirected, it will use its inner drive to rediscover itself and reconnect back to God — The Source Of All That Is, or The Universal Consciousness. Then it becomes connected to the Mind of Creator and we again function as One with Creator.
Your Final Spiritual Goal is for You To Redefine Your Ego, As Spirit.”
