If you have read the text so far and thought about the words derived from "Ego": egoism, egotism, egoic, etc., you can be thinking about how to get rid of your Ego.

In some texts from eastern schools of thought, you can find mentions about how to dissolve the Ego. In a sense that, after this process, we would be "Ego-less".

In my humble opinion, this is a mix of ideas lost in translation and nuances lost over the centuries. Also, the diverse connotations of the word "Ego" contribute to that confusion.

To me, the Ego is a construct characteristic of our existence on this plane on Schoolroom Earth.

It is impossible to incarnate as human beings in this frequency without an Ego.

As you begin to react, you produce selves, which leads to Ego formation.

The Ego also exists in higher planes, in different flavours. And we also receive their influence. But this will be the object of other posts.

Anyway, even without being able to get rid of the Ego, it is possible to "heal" it. We can do that by healing the selves (which interplay forms the Ego).

In the following topics, let's understand what means to heal the Ego.

There is a huge identification of you with your Ego. This is surprising given that the interplay of the selves is so dynamic, and you still are able to identify this interplay with "You".

But you are not your Ego. At least not only your Ego. Inside you, there are more elements.

It doesn't take much to notice that.

Aren't you able to feel something more behind the chit-chat of the selves?

Don't you feel a crush in your heart because something is lacking beyond the chit-chat in your mind?

Who is the "you" hearing the chit-chat inside "you"?

One of the most important of these elements is your Inner-child. You can consider your Inner -child part of your essence, part of your Soul.

This essence or Soul is the key to your happiness and realization.

It is a pure part of you, non-contaminated by all the societal programming and hurt selves.

Usually, we represent or "see" it as a child (your Inner-child). But keep in mind that we are talking about an all-knowing child.

In some sense, we can also consider this Inner-child as a Master-self.

If you let this Inner-child guide you, instead of the many hurt selves, you will be happier and realised.

So, the healing of the Ego happens by aligning it with your Inner-child.

To make this alignment possible, we must heal many of our hurt selves. Otherwise, their chit-chat will be too loud to allow the Inner-child guidance.

It is important to understand that the selves are energies.

The interplay that forms the Ego, and the Ego itself, are also energies. And those energies are way more powerful than most people think.

In fact, these energies constitute a big part of the very fabric of our "reality" here in Schoolroom Earth.

So, you can keep it simple and only think about the Ego influencing our decision-making, feelings and emotions. But still, there is a whole extra layer represented by those energies and their effect in creating our practical reality.

You don't need to believe in that, but if you do, your life on Schooroom Earth will be easier and more fulfilling.

There are several techniques to heal the hurt selves and align your Ego with your Inner-child.
