Within each of us is our Divine Genetic Coding. Our Spiritual DNA contains the full pattern of who we are and what we came to be and do, that is our Authentic Self. Like the caterpillar has to surrender in order to become a butterfly, we have to die to the old Ego ideas, beliefs and Imprints in order to access our Authentic Self.
Ego wants to hang onto smallness, the selfishness, the "control" and fears because it has no higher vision. Ego is the self-limiting vision. Ego operates out of our reptile brains and stimulates reptilian behaviors: obsessive-compulsive behaviors, dominance, aggression, submission, greed, jealousy, envy, and competition. Ego is not Ungodly; it is non-godly. When the prefrontal cortex is added to the animal brain, the intellect becomes the tool of the ego.
Ego has no ability to see our beauty, our uniqueness, our potential and possibilities. "We" are not the content of our minds. We are transcendental Consciousness. Our ego attacks our immune system and our physiology by feeding us the lies of our impossibilities and limitations, yet our Authentic Self, our Divine Imprint, and our impulse are stronger That part in us knows deep down at our core that there is more to us, that our finest hour is yet to come.
Our Divine Imprints and our Spiritual DNA are much stronger than the ego. As Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation says: 'Your existence is born of Spiritual parentage, Your Divine DNA is Divine Love, Divine Intelligence, and Divine Creativity.
This is what we came to express on this Planet. Life's impulse is to be more, to expand,, to express and to grow. Whatever is not expressed ends up being depressed. Your destiny and mine is to be this Authentic and Creative Self . Like the caterpillar, we might forget this truth, we might believe we cannot fly. Yet, our Authentic Self knows the truth and has the ability to soar. The whole purpose of Spiritual Work can be summed up as: Potentiality becomes Actuality.
So our daily choice is: who shall we be today; The false ego-self/ or do or do we choose to go within and tap into our Authentic Self and actualize each day more of our Divine Potentiality. The choice and the responsibility to choose are ours.
