Section One

EGO VERSUS ESSENCE

WHY MOVE FROM EGO TO ESSENCE?

It seems like a great effort. What’s to gain? Why not just remain living life through ego?

Because living life through ego will never bring happiness, that’s why. You will never be at peace. Living life through ego is a constant wanting and as soon as one wanting is met, the next wanting comes along. Rarely, if ever, does ego let you sit with and feel the gratitude and happiness you thought you would obtain when you received what your ego told you that you so desperately desired.

Living in ego will never bring you peace, joy or true happiness. The ego is insatiable; as soon as it gets what it desires, instead of taking the time to treat what you received with appreciation and gratitude it wants something newer and better. It always wants more and more and hopefully, someday, we eventually come to the realization that we will never be happy or at peace. We become disillusioned and it is at that moment we finally start to see that there is another way of living.

Living life through Essence opens up worlds of opportunities as you become in tune with the signs and synchronicities which are always out there to guide your life, but went by unnoticed and ignored, lost in the drama of everyday living.

So in order to live through essence its most important to define what essence is and what it is not, and how exactly the ego controls us. It is essential to figure out how to move through and quiet the thoughts of the mind. The more you are able to live life through Essence, the more you are able to integrate spirituality into your life.
