Is The Ego-Program Running You?

[Barra]

It is said that we are spiritual beings playing a human game, but if we are wise spirits, why is the game of life so difficult for so many?

First, we must understand that in order to play the game of life, we need roles and identities so that we may participate as players in the game. These individual roles and identities are programmed into each of us in order to create the “reality-construct” that we call our lives.

The name of this Master Program is called the ego, and its purpose is to produce and project reality. The ego-program influences all inter-actions and everything in your life, including your relationships and your experience of the world. The ego-program resides in your subconscious mind, but it is not your subconscious mind.

The ego-program is much like a loading system for all the programs that create your specific life. There is a program for every aspect of the thing that you call you. Other sub-programs can also be inserted into the ego-program such as the fitting in program, worthiness program and the depression program. This may sound very much like the matrix – because, in some ways, it is.

The ego is not inherently bad – it is simply an operating system for a particular experience of life, and it does a great job for what it was intended. At its core, it is a survival program or mechanism, with the primary function of keeping you alive. You might say that the human race would not have survived without this mechanism – so in this way, the ego-program has been essential.

Here is the problem: because the ego is responsible for survival, it is hypersensitive to threats – both physical and emotional, and especially threats to the ego itself. Therefore, it is extremely susceptible to anything that might cause danger, in any way. A program does what a program is programmed to do – this means that if someone knows how the program operates in the psyche, they have power to directly affect human experience. The ego-program can be controlled through outside sources by inserting fear-based beliefs that threaten survival. If you can control this program, you can control people. It is no mystery that we are constantly bombarded with fear-based material every day through the media and other sources.

The world at large supports beliefs in separation, competition and scarcity because these beliefs keep the ego active – in survival mode. As long as the negative aspects of the ego are running the show, life is difficult, and it is extremely challenging to consciously create, as we were truly meant to. When the ego-program is in overdrive, as it is with the majority of people on the planet, it is as if we are in a mental prison of our own design.

Like all programs, this program can be re-programmed for different results, but deletion is not the solution because the ego also provides much good. Since it also projects your personality, you wouldn’t be you without your ego.

The ego-program was intended, by the Creator, to work with you and for you, but if you are not in charge of the program, it controls you. Signs that the ego is controlling you are feelings of fear, anxiety and worry – basically, feelings of being out of control – because you are.

There is no doubt that you can, and must, reclaim control of the ego, but first you must realize that the program is running – and it is running you.

In order to reclaim your power it is important to understand how the program operates.
