In the Light — Alexander Gallier Interview 24

The term “ego” first appeared in the 1920 paper “Jenseits des Lustprinzips” (Beyond the Pleasure Principle) written by Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis and modern psychiatry. The ego, along with the id and super-ego, was one of the prominent components of human psyche. As he refined his ideas, Freud described the ego as the embodiment of memory, rationality, logic, conscious discrimination, and discernment. The ego runs interference between the id — which is concerned with experiences derived of primitive, undifferentiated, animalistic physical drives — and the super-ego, which compels enlightened pursuits, spiritual experiences, and social justice. While Freud was perceptive enough to note a difference between the physical brain and the Mind, his Hasidic Jewish culture and the turbulence of his times limited the scope of his perceptions. None the less, Freud made a gigantic contribution to human understanding of the Mind.

The individuated expression of Spirit we have termed “the Soul” arises from a supermass of intelligent energy, just as a fractal arises of its parent form. The desire of the Creator to Create wills the Soul into being, where it is received by an advanced and unconditionally loving caretaker Soul. Undifferentiated Spirit embodies living infinite potentia, which means that any given individuated expression of itself possesses its own unique mixture of qualities and characteristics. The Mind is present at this point, but it is a mind not yet possessed of self-awareness. The ego then, seen from this perspective, is a conscious energy field which represents a perspective from which the Soul can operate, by evolving into a sense of “self.”

In this sense, the discarnate Soul, much like the Human Being, has a period of coming into sentience. Typically this is done in a “home setting” composed of Beings of a similar constitution, as well as their guides. When ready, the Soul utilizes a long succession of physical incarnations as a means of balancing the traits it innately possess versus the ones it wishes to acquire. The physical MDPV, with all of its advantages and limitations, is but a tool to develop facets of the immortal character.

The MDPV offers a psychological challenge to the Soul: how well can the immortal character shine through the biological neurology with all of its drives, emotion, and limits in perception?

Within such a setting, the MDPV ego can alter the time variable [“when” exactly the Soul can shine through] by overriding the Soul’s input, which typically consists of intuitions and inspirations. But far from the struggle which Freud envisioned, the immortal Soul possesses a sublime, infinite patience, as well as the means to alter the MDPV/ego variable within its existential equation at every between-life junction. Eventually, the Body will come to heed Spirit.

Operating with a MDPV possessed of a primal survival instinct is, in fact, a path to spiritual evolution. The sense that “the clock will ultimately run out” drives more and more people to become open, transparent, and work towards equanimity for all.

“Time,” as we experience it, does not exist as it relates to matters of Spirit. But our experience of it is one of the “secrets” of the Illusion. The temporal illusion is one way to keep everything in existence from happening at once in the same space; or rather, to enshroud our awareness that such a thing is occurring. The “I/me experience” will inevitably give way to the “us/we experience” as our level of awareness is elevated. Awareness will then return to the constituent parts of the Whole, which thus brings greater consciousness to the endeavors of the Whole. A new dimension of Being is created, and a new domain of expression is available forever after, along with another order of ego: Unity Consciousness.
