Teacher Ophelius:
Today I would like to talk about having two types of egos. Type-I is the ego of the self and it is this type that we are most familiar with. Type-II is the ego of the higher self, and this is not a part of your indwelling god fragment, but it is subsequent to the development and attainment of god-consciousness. Both types are present in the life of every mortal on the worlds of time and space in varying degrees, yet the god conscious man or woman will seek divine assistance in the development of Type-II, while he or she diminishes the influence of Type-I. This is the first step in the transformation of mind from the lower to what the Midwayers call, "the mid-mind."
Type-I is your animal ego, the ego of survival; the ego of selfishness; the ego of self-importance. This is a part of the nature and personality that every man and woman on your world is born with, and it functions instinctively in the mind. Type-I is the seed from which Type-II may be born, and it is this lower mind that becomes a necessary component to the self-realization and the subsequent development of the mid-mind through faith and moral choosing.
You may think of the two types as containers, Type-I is akin to a survival kit--something to get you through the wilderness as a temporary means of sustaining the body. This small container is packed to the fullest and provides no room for anything but the self. Type-II is like a suitcase that is methodically packed for a long trip for which every consideration is given to insure survivability in a new and unexplored land. The container of the ego-self (Type-I) only has enough rations to sustain the self for a finite period of time and it is selfishly guarded by the self through fear and suspicion from other survivalists that may happen to cross paths with the self. The container of the higher ego self (Type-II) has in it more than enough provisions for which consideration for the sharing of provisions with others, or for bartering, has been provided for. The Type-II container is very large and it also contains empty space for the storage of treasured items that may be acquired along the journey. Type-I has no capacity for future needs.
God consciousness takes the self out of the wilderness, and faith becomes the travel brochure that inspires us for the journey ahead. Moral choosing provides the insight to plan well and to insure the safe passage of the soul into eternity. So you see, the ego of the self must not be subdued, but educated into the care and development of the higher self--the child of the universe--the human soul.
Good day,

Hi im in need of an understanding that is with a respect, being as that of, the high intellects you and other teachers are, i respect and have gratitude for the wisdom information selflessly being taught for our spiritual growth. I am a good person & believe myself an old soul (this, said without self superiorty- i am constant & always was growing up, with new understandings about life, purpose, meaning & reasonings, nobody i have encountered seems to be anything like me, yet i am & always was popular). I realise i chose the life i live prior to birth, i realise & fully accept without bitterness (some sadness has once been felt) but i do not dwell on what is no longer physically around. Life has mostly been that of others using the power they do have to harm & control me, what was once needless malicious words & fists upon a child is now a very long term medicinal situation caused by Drs not myself & the drug of a disturbing brain killing action that is clearly (albeit recently learned) an experiment not as should be "medicinal for a good purpose"... Forgive me, i have to go for a short while, i will be back asasp.
ReplyDelete...,my apologies, continuing my last post. Im hoping, if i may? to ask of you 'Teacher', although not arrogant to be expectant of a direct answer, i just ask what i now do, with a hope you will answer? I am believing my very confused mental state (although not unintelligent, i am prone to manic reactions, aggression, emotional disfunctions & memory loss), is causing my many somewhat, extremely new & frightening concerns? I cant get to grips with the Bible & very contradictive statement regarding evil. I do believe the Bible to be a metaphorical explanitary guide that is still playing its part in the today. My block is not the decoding, i find 'that' a delight actually & take pride in the learning. My block is that of Knowledge. The tree of Knowledge does bear the forbidden fruit, the serpent (unamed? Believed by masses to be Lucifer, in all regards as to whoever? The lesson is, humans were not originally to be anything but ignorant beings, this changed so we then had to learn). we have with Jesus, teaching/knowledge, he is said to be crucified for this (i will not accept the dying for my sins as it makes no sense to me) Ever since there has been a major covering up of scriptures written by others, the Vatican is a blatant oposite of Jesus' saying not to worship idols, (resisting the urge to express the obvious vile behaviours & greedy truths the vatican in fact has). Where is the evil? Is it the onset of non ignorance? The initial inciting human intelligence? &/Or? The denying the full & right knowledge to those who have been forced the Bible in terms man, himself, made versions of? The fact the Bible is a rewritten, translated by many in a position to demand their own input of how/how much, the masses were to learn is surely a disadvantage to the what any man is ever to learn? Im sorry truly but i cant see beyond the fact, we are trying (human race) albeit not all, but those without any help are not at fault in this life time, we create much hell for ourself yes, some people do not, some are in a hell made by cruelty, man is at fault, but only the one being the cruel. My point, what is the origin? Whom is the evil prior to human being taught? Satan is a collective of man himself 'DNA' numerically is 666, count the number of the beast 6+6+6= 18 - fingerprints are formed by 18th week of pregnancy. What is the point of teaching as such when the masses do not know where to look nor grasp? Are they exmpt with an ignorance? I am so confused it actually hurts, i want to be able to have faith in the right form but am blocked, what is evil? Not what evils are - sadly there are many & suffering continues in every day- evil prior to man & why is knowledge now not wrong? I am not without the belief maybe an answer will be given in a different form? Yet would like to have yours if i may? Love & respect- Sarah
