The Interplay Between the Ego and the Soul

    When you learn how to stay in touch with your soul, life will become effortless. For your soul has been here before; it has navigated all of these obstacles before. The ego, for most of us, does not remember our other lifetimes, yet believes itself capable of being the navigator. Instead, though, we find that it is prone to flipping our raft as we cruise between the boulders, through the white water. Patiently, each soul waits for the ego to place its trust in the omniscience of our eternal spirit. For many of us, we only manage to do so a for a little bit at a time before our ego steps back in thinking it now has the hang of things. And so this entertaining yet exhausting cycle continues until we learn how to permanently place our full trust in the eternal part of our being. 
    My soul, just like my body, knows how to heal itself without my mind giving direct instruction. My soul, just like my body, does not need to learn to do so nor practice how to do so; it just does. This is not to say that the ego does not have an important role in our lives. Once an alliance is formed between the ego and the soul, they will have symbiotic relationship. The ego is the doer, and the soul is the be-er. The former gets things done, while the latter rests in the flow of universal loving energy thus giving our body and mind an abundant supply of energy and wisdom. Our ego uses the wisdom from the soul to make decisions that will improve our lives and to take us from place to place in the physical realm while our soul radiates peace, love, and stillness for other souls to accept if they wish.
