Unlocking the Mystery of Spiritual Ego
Have you ever encountered the term 'Spiritual Ego'? It's a concept that resonates deeply in the teachings of the Lineage of King Salomon, where we explore the interplay between Positive and Negative Ego.
The Positive Ego, a beacon within, urges us to grow and progress. It's the voice that envisions our best selves, yet often takes a back seat to the dominating Negative Ego—the unconscious force driven by our programming and conditioning, whispering fear, judgment, and separation.
But what about Spiritual Ego?
Is it a force for good or ill?
Spiritual Ego is the elusive trickster, a disguise worn by the Negative Ego. It cunningly leads you towards what seems like the light, appearing beneficial to your growth. However, beware! In time, you might find yourself ensnared in judgment, comparing and deeming others less or more worthy.
The Spiritual Ego manipulates perception to fuel fear and judgment, making one feel superior, arrogant, and ignorant, regardless of their accumulated spiritual knowledge. The trap lies in the assumption that one has arrived, when in reality, the Negative Ego still persists.
In the Empower Thyself Class and Initiation, we delve into the intricacies of the Ego and its role in our lives. We emphasize the Adept Initiate's "job" of eliminating the Negative Ego, a task accelerated by the initiation process.
Ask those who have undergone Empower Thyself, and you'll hear tales of overcoming challenges before, during, and after the initiation. What do these challenges represent?
They signify the resistance of the Negative Ego, which refuses to relinquish control. By attending Empower Thyself, you commit to a battle against your Negative Ego, vowing to vanquish it.
The Negative Ego won't go down without a fight. Even if you emerge victorious, it'll adopt a disguise, convincing you that you're brighter than your teacher, that you already know everything about magic, meditation, and the Ego. It will gather evidence and surround you with like-minded individuals, sabotaging your growth by pointing you in the wrong direction.
This is where the treacherous Spiritual Ego steps in. Not all spiritual paths lead to growth and progression, and the Negative Ego exploits this knowledge.
In essence, attending Empower Thyself means committing to the death of your Negative Ego. Be prepared for the fight, and remember, the journey doesn't end there—beware the cunning masquerade of the Spiritual Ego!
