EGOISM AND EGOCENTRISM

October 17, 2020

SUMMARY:

In this conversation between “I” and “AM,” the relationship between the Ego, the Soul, and Energy is explored. It argues that the Ego is a construct of the soul, and it analyzes how Egoism and Egocentrism, far from being negative concepts, are essential aspects of being human. The process of personal development is compared to cell division, emphasizing the importance of finding balance between individual needs and emotional connections. This dialogue invites you to return to the center, expand consciousness, and use the Ego and the soul as tools for spiritual growth.

QUOTE:

“From consciousness, you will free yourself from the heavy preconceptions of your Ego, to transform them into the qualities of your Being.”

EXERCISES:

1. Center and Spiral Meditation: Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Visualize a point of light at the center of your being, representing your true essence. Imagine a spiral expanding from that point, connecting you to the outside world. With each inhalation, feel yourself connecting to your center, and with each exhalation, expand your energy into the world. This meditation will help you balance your egocentrism and egoism with a greater awareness of your being.

2. Daily Self-Reflection: Dedicate a few minutes each day to reflect on your actions and motivations. Ask yourself if you are acting from a place of selfish need or if you are honoring your authentic essence. This practice will help you make more conscious decisions and better understand your impulses and behaviors.

3. Unity Meditation: Sit in silence and visualize all the people around you, recognizing that we are all part of an interconnected humanity. Feel the bond of unity you share with others and send love and compassion to all people. This meditation will help you cultivate a greater emotional connection with others and overcome the barriers of the ego.
