Teacher Ophelius: "Today I would like to talk about having
two types of egos. Type-I is the ego of the self and it is this type
that we are most familiar with. Type-II is the ego of the higher self,
and this is not a part of your indwelling god fragment, but it is subsequent
to the development and attainment of god-consciousness. Both types are
present in the life of every mortal on the worlds of time and space
in varying degrees, yet the god conscious man or woman will seek divine
assistance in the development of Type-II, while he or she diminishes
the influence of Type-I. This is the first step in the transformation
of mind from the lower to what the Midwayers call, 'the mid-mind.'
"Type-I is your animal ego, the ego of survival; the ego of selfishness;
the ego of self-importance. This is a part of the nature and personality
that every man and woman on your world is born with, and it functions
instinctively in the mind. Type-I is the seed from which Type-II may
be born, and it is this lower mind that becomes a necessary component
to the self-realization and the subsequent development of the mid-mind
through faith and moral choosing.
"You may think of the two types as containers, Type-I is akin to
a survival kit -- something to get you through the wilderness as a temporary
means of sustaining the body. This small container is packed to the
fullest and provides no room for anything but the self. Type-II is like
a suitcase that is methodically packed for a long trip for which every
consideration is given to insure survivability in a new and unexplored
land. The container of the ego-self (Type-I) only has enough rations
to sustain the self for a finite period of time and it is selfishly
guarded by the self through fear and suspicion of other survivalists
that may happen to cross paths with the self. The container of the higher
ego self (Type-II) has in it more than enough provisions for which consideration
for the sharing of provisions with others, or for bartering, has been
provided. The Type-II container is very large and it also contains empty
space for the storage of treasured items that may be acquired along
the journey. Type-I has no capacity for future needs.
"God consciousness takes the self out of the wilderness, and faith
becomes the travel brochure that inspires us for the journey ahead.
Moral choosing provides the insight to plan well and to insure the safe
passage of the soul into eternity. So you see, the ego of the self must
not be subdued, but educated into the care and development of the higher
self -- the child of the universe -- the human soul.
"Good day,

of truth, and the relief of suffering
are the noblest paths to higher consciousness." - Teacher Ophelius,
