Battle of the Selves: Ego vs Soul- Mind vs Body
Just because we are aware of, and can identify different aspects of ourselves does not mean they are separate pieces that live a life of their own. Everything is connected, and we can see differences in our aspects but that doesn’t make them different ‘selves,’ exactly.
For example, take a large quartz crystal and hold it in your hand. You may notice different inclusions. Just because one of them may be a black spec, doesn’t mean that the entire crystal is a dark spec! It’s a part of it, and it isn’t separate! On the same token, a drop of ocean water, is NOT the entire ocean.
The mind isn’t separate from the body, but the body isn’t the mind and the mind isn’t the body. It’s like saying Montana is the United States and vice versa. The important thing is the expansion of our awareness to all of the aspects of ourselves without DIVIDING OURSELVES.
Emotions aren’t separate, inconvenient parts of ourselves. They affect the Mind and the Body because they are part of them both. Ego self is the human identity. So my Ego is Nicole, but my entire Being is not just this one aspect. Nor is my Soul separate from my body. It animates my body and my body is a manifestation of the energy that is my Soul.
When we have a broken heart, it affects us physically, emotionally, mentally, and on a soul level. No trauma or joy affects only one part of ourselves. This is why it’s paramount to pay attention to each part of ourselves and look for the communication that goes largely unnoticed regarding the state of our entire Being. Physical pain is never just about an isolated mechanical issue with the body any more than a tragic loss is only about our emotions.
When your body speaks, listen, and find the connections to the other aspects of yourself. When your mind speaks, listen, and do the same. Emotions are the bridge, so they are most important of all communication that you can receive from your Self. Spirit is also a part of each of these aspects, and can never really be separated.
In all things, there is an opposing view, but never is there a division other than your own perception. For example, I am as grateful to have no one I’m obligated to at the moment as I am lonely to have no one that I’m obligated to at the moment. It’s all about how you look at things. All of it affects all of me, and as a human I have the privilege to see and be aware of the different aspects of myself. But never am I alone, separated, or divided within myself. I am always whole, and no matter how long it takes, I will eventually see all of the pieces and then, like all Souls, I will return Home.
