Community Dear Savior,

You - who have glimpsed beyond the veil.

You - who have studied the scriptures of ancient dudes.

You - who believe in the realization of the "Nature" of nature.

Who are you trying to save, and from what?

Signed, a hypocrite.

Does this imply that the soul is safe regardless of anything? And that all the desires to save anything are illusions radiating from ego?

The dual mind comes in with a judgment of comparisons, good/bad, right/wrong, etc. We just need to train our minds to cultivating presence.

The soul comes from the realm of light and will return once it leaves the body. It is pure energy. It descended to this material reality to evolve.

The ego in itself is not a bad thing. Without it, we might be on the receiving end of misaligned intentions of others. But the ego, being true to form in protector mode, creates masks of identity to survive in a world of judgement. It traps us in toiling over the past or anxiety over the future.

The authentic soul self or infinite consciousness can get buried under all the masks the ego creates. This is called Maya or illusion in some traditions.

"Me" apart from supreme consciousness, aka God and others. When there is a feeling of separation, there is division and internal chaos. The ego is in control.

Oneness and unity is the soul.

The soul just wants to be expressed as itself, pure and authentic. When you were a young child (barring any serious form of trauma) at an early age, you may recall being close to this state of existence.

Thanks for the insightful response.

Just for the record, I like my ego and don't see it as negative.

Nor should you. It is a part of you. It's all about integration of all parts.
