DIY for Your Soul Podcast - The Ego vs. The Soul

There are some spiritual teachers that imply the ego is something we are trying to rid ourselves of. But the ego serves a purpose. And it’s not that we need to rid ourselves of ego, it’s that we need to see it for what it is, and put it in its proper place.

The ego is simply a tool. It is the tool we use to contextualize life for the purpose of experiencing life. And that’s just a fancy way of saying that the ego is the thing that makes choice possible.

But, we’ll also see that because the ego’s purpose is to create the illusion of separation, and because it does its job so well, the majority of us lose sight of the fact that the ego is a tool, and we begin to see the illusion as reality.

In this podcast we’ll discover that the soul, meaning the part of us that is our true essence, is what we should come to depend on. We learn that the ego isn’t feeding us the truth about ourselves, and life itself, it merely created the context for us to experience that truth.

And in the end we’ll find that although the ego may think it’s in charge, but the soul will ultimately get it’s way.
