Self Forgiveness - The Ego. Discover how the Ego was born within your Soul

8. THE EXPERIENCE OF SEPARATION: GUILT, MISTAKES AND SELF-FORGIVENESS

Your decision to send a part of yourself to the Material Universe was not an easy one. You knew it would be difficult, especially in the creation of this latest sphere, as it is very far removed from God the Creator, and so there is a much greater chance you can lose your [perceived] connection to your Higher Self and make choices leading to separation.

Guilt originally came from your feeling you did something wrong by separating from your spiritual teacher and your Higher Self.

You have not done anything wrong by making choices that have led to your separating yourself from your spiritual teacher, from God, and from your Higher Self. This is all part of the experience of separation you have chosen.

Every choice you make, every mistake you make, every experience you go through, is a learning opportunity for your spiritual growth and development. The more mistakes you make, the more wise you become, the more you can help others. The more mistakes you make, the more you can learn about self-forgiveness and learn to forgive others. The more mistakes you make, the more you can learn to love yourself unconditionally and learn to love others unconditionally.

9. MASTERING FORGIVENESS: A TWO-STEP PROCESS

Part of your spiritual purpose after you chose to go "further into the illusion of separation" was to experience forgiveness. You can only experience forgiveness if someone has done you a wrong, and you can only experience self-forgiveness if you believe you have done a wrong.

Therefore 3 energies needed to exist for you to truly experience forgiveness and master it. The first is fear - fear that someone has trespassed against you. The second is anger - anger against those who have trespassed against you. And the third is guilt - guilt that you have trespassed against others.

Your decision to separate yourself from your spiritual teacher and your Higher Self - and allow the Ego to be born within you - means you can now experience forgiveness as the Ego contains the three energies needed. Forgiveness is one of the highest expressions of love a soul can experience. It is mentioned at this time as it is an important element in removing the Lower Self Ego from your soul.

Although the Ego has given you the opportunity to truly experience forgiveness, it will be through forgiveness that you free yourself of the Ego. This is because at the subconscious level most souls believe their original decision to separate from their Spiritual Teacher and Higher Self is "unforgivable" and it is this belief that keeps the Scared-Guilty Part of their Ego alive and feeling it is "less than God". Only when you can truly forgive yourself for choosing the Path of Separation can you begin the gradual path of "coming back into oneness" with your Higher Self and God the Creator. You cannot come into "oneness with God" if you feel "less than God".

Yet forgiving yourself and even someone else is not a simple one-step process of saying "I forgive you" or "I forgive myself". Many people try this approach and realize deep down it does not work. They still feel the anger and hate towards others and the guilt if they are seeking to forgive them self.

Forgiveness is always a two-step process:

STEP 1: You must express your truth and feelings fully and completely
STEP 2: You must choose to let go of the anger, the hate, and the guilt

Expressing your truth and feelings fully and completely can be done in a number of ways and does not need to involve the other person in the forgiveness process.

The easiest and simplest way to express your feelings is on paper in a letter to the person you feel angry or guilty toward and then burn the letter afterward. Another way is connecting to your deep feelings of anger or guilt in an EFT or gestalt therapy session, a meditation, self-hypnosis or hypnotherapy session and expressing your feelings as they come up.

10. GIVING YOUR LOWER SELF EGO PARTS A VOICE

Throughout your many lifetimes, your soul has accumulated a great deal of fear energy within the 12 parts of the Lower Self. This build up of fear, guilt, anger, hate, sadness etc, needs to be acknowledged and it is important to give each of the 12 parts of your Lower Self an individual voice to express their fears, their build up of energy, and their fear-based beliefs.

It is a good idea to liken the 12 parts of your Lower Self to 12 small children within you who are lost, confused, afraid and angry. If you had a small child of your own who feared monsters were under his bed, you would not ignore him. You would sit down with him and ask him to tell you what was bothering him - you would give him a voice to express his fears. If you did ignore him, his fears would become worse and eventually over time turn into paranoia.

This is what has happened collectively to our Lower Self parts. We have ignored them for so long, that their individual fears have turned into deep paranoia.

Giving your Lower Self parts a voice is easy. Simply tune into the individual Lower Self part - only one part at a time - and become the energy of this part. Then write down on paper how you [this part] is feeling. Do not censor this part. Allow it to use any swear words it feels like using. The important thing is that it can "express" fully how it is feeling and release its build-up of negative energy - through you.

You may find the first time you give a particular part of your Lower Self its voice - it has a lot to say and express. Use your own intuition to guide you to how often you would like to become each part to express emotions. A good indicator is to keep writing until you have nothing more to say.

To begin, purchase a journal. Then read the description of each part of your Lower Self [mentioned earlier]. Become the energy of one part at a time and simply GIVE IT A VOICE. Do not bypass this process. This is extremely important in the removal of fears that keep your Lower Self - Ego - alive within you.
