It is always helpful, I have found, to remember that “ego” is not a thing or an entity, but a mode of consciousness—rather like dreaming is not a thing or an entity, but a mode of consciousness. “Ego-ing” is just a denser process than dreaming.
(Paul DeFatta)
There are moments when I am unaware. When I am dreaming for example. I feel like I was aware but when I wake up, I realize that I wasn’t. Likewise, when I am eating in a hurry and only somewhere in between realize that I was eating. I am now aware of this activity whereas before I wasn’t. “Ego-ing” is being consciously aware of a doer.
We move from dreaming to unaware doing to “ego-ing” to pure being. We move from “I am dreaming” to “I am this or that” to “I Am That I Am”. Words are unfortunately hard to come by when it comes to expressing these different states, but I am sure you have experienced them as well. Adjusting our frequency is the expression that states this transformation best.
We can literally feel when we are rigid and heavy (“ego-ing”) in contrast to free flowing and loving, when the higher energies flow through us. In terms of awareness we might say that we are moving from unaware to being aware to Awareness itself. Dreaming, unawareness and ego-ing are subsets of Awareness and a lower frequency increasingly clouds that what always is.
How to raise our vibrations as we realize that we are “ego-ing” again? Well, how to wake yourself up when you realize that you are dreaming lucidly? You tell me. Isn’t that what spiritual living is all about?
