Understanding Ego

As I mentioned in some of my earlier posts that I am working on several spiritual issues, including releasing my ego, understanding the divine love within me, and learning unconditional love. In order to touch the divinity within each of us, we must be able to release ego.  It is ego that stands in the way of our becoming our higher selves.  During the last several days, I have been tested as my fear buttons have been pushed, and my ego has been reacting.  Although in the past when my ego reacted, I would experience a panic attack.  Now, I experience worry and concern that is not much better.

First, we must understand what fear is.  Ego creates fear from our emotional landscapes of past emotional wounds and negative experiences stored in our painbodies located within our energy fields.  These negative experiences may be from this lifetime or our past ones. Fear is an emotion created by our ego that generates fearful thoughts. These thoughts then generate more fearful emotions that generate more fearful thoughts, and so on.  

This is how panic attack occurs, because the fearful emotions and thoughts create a cycle that goes out of control.  If we are unable to stop this cycle, then we experience phobias, such claustrophobia, acrophobia, etc. The degree of this phobia is determined by how many cycles of these fearful emotions and thoughts occur.  Now that you understand how ego creates fear, and that fear is an emotion, then you know that we cannot get rid of fear by using our minds to deal with fear.  We can only deal with fear through our feelings.

One of the techniques I use to release my ego is called “Observing Ego Practice” found at this tab on my Blogsite Homepage.  Try this practice whenever you begin to feel fear rise within you. With practice, you will be able to do this practice instantly and spontaneously whenever fear rises within you.  The purpose of my Observing Ego Practice is to help us address these fearful emotions by stopping the creation of fearful thoughts and stopping this cycle described above.

In other words, as soon as the fearful emotions rise within us, we stop the process of creating these fearful thoughts that perpetuate the fear cycle.  Try this practice, as I must remind myself even now after practicing this for two years, but it does get easier and easier, and more effective with my practice.

    1. Thanks for your insightful question. Sigmund Freud’s theory of Ego is stated below as he was the first to name it. It is only his theory, so you can be right as well.

      “Id, ego and super-ego are the three parts of the psychic apparatus defined in Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described. According to this model of the psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.The super-ego can stop you from doing certain things that your id may want you to do. Although the model is structural and makes reference to an apparatus, the id, ego and super-ego are purely symbolic concepts about the mind and do not correspond to actual somatic structures of the brain (such as the kind dealt with by neuroscience)”.

      Hope this answers your questions! Blessings, Brooke
