The Ego - A Journey Into Fear II

Continuing with Chapter 2 from Ken Carey's "Return of the Bird Tribes". The chapter is entitled "Carved in Stone". These posts attempt to present a conception of what the "ego" was, is and was meant to be. It is always helpful to have some knowledge of the nature of one's adversary.

Part II

[QUOTING]

To the first biological humans, we communicated this message:

We are your spirits. It is our presence here in this river valley that has called you up out of the soil. You are unfinished, incomplete; you are still not all that you can be. Some of what you now embody represents development in the right direction, but some of what you think of now as yourself is, in actuality, part of what will one day become afterbirth. Let us help you sort this out in yourselves, so that by emphasizing the value of your bodies as dwelling places for the Great Spirit, your minds and hearts will remain open to communion with us. In time, that communion will flow into blending and both you and we will know ourselves as one upon the physical plane. In union, we will know completion.

One specific star of all the myriad stars you see twinkling in your night sky sends its spirit to earth to incarnate in your individual human form. Your ego is designed to help that spirit (who lacks your familiarity with the cooler realms) to remain creatively incarnate here.

Until you have bonded with the star consciousness, you remain unfinished. You do not yet know your own material or spiritual nature. You will in time, But if we are to assist you now in peacefully experiencing this coming age while your species multiplies and fills the earth, you must remember to honor the values of our spirits, just as we honor you and you own material values. In time, these distinctions will dissolve, and we will know ourselves as on; but for now we must tread lightly, extending to one another patience and respect.

The egos of the first incarnate ones welcomed this message. For a time, they were filled with enthusiasm. They genuinely loved us and shared our wish to see the Great Spirit's plan succeed.

However, as the moons of these first seasons passed, willingness to play their parts creatively did not last long among all the incarnate ones.

What happens when an actor who was asked to play a supporting role rebels and tries to play the lead role instead? With no knowledge of the part?

You were there, in the beginning. You might remember.
