The Rule of the Ego.

When we attempt to control anyone or anything it’s because we ourselves are under the control of our ego, which is very dominating and controlling. Our ego is that part of our conscious mind ( that voice that’s always chattering in our head ) that’s always comparing, judging, and commenting on everything, as well as always telling us what we should and need to be doing if we want to  survive, be safe, successful,  admired, happy, loved, secure etc. etc. etc.

Basically, our ego controls and dominates our lower self, which is comprised of our physical body, our emotional body, or aura, and our lower,  mental body, or aura.  Spirit, that aspect of our being that is still connected to the Divine, or All-That-Is,  resides on the causal, or fifth astral plane. Spirit  has control over our higher, mental aura, which exists on the fourth astral plane. Our lower, mental “body,”  or aura,  exists on the third astral plane,  while our emotional”body” exists on the second plane. Naturally, of course, our physical body exists on the physical, material,  plane.

At  a certain stage in our journey to enlightenment,  or on our journey to live as our true, authentic self, we need to free ourselves from the rulership of our tyrannical ego. When we achieve this, all parts and aspects of ourselves, both physical and non-physical, are then  able to come under the leadership of spirit and we begin to manifest and live as our soul, our  higher self.
