Consciousness and mind and ego: this is actually quite simple, yet through the complication that human beings tend to generate with their mind, it becomes difficult. You see, at the beginning of life of a human being, when the person is born, the veil of forgetfulness is laid upon the person. We can say that, in a way the awareness of consciousness is switched off at a certain level, but not completely. Then the structure of the mind, the mental body and the structure of ego, will be able to take its place. You can think of this as a game that every person plays, every human that has come to the 3D. The 3rd dimension exists for this game, the game of “forgetting” momentarily who the person is. Then a couple of structures are placed upon the whole, to complicate the game. It is like a board game where at certain points of the game, a person lands on a square of challenge. You can see it as a square of challenge, and the challenge is to remember to overcome those structures. We want to clarify that the ego structure that we talked about, is more or less like a software. If you think of the mind as a computer, the physical brain of the human being the box, then the ego structure is a software installed in the hardware. The challenge here is that each person gets rid of the software.
Quantum Leaps in Consciousness
Some people say that you can take quantum leaps in consciousness and yes, you can do that. It really depends on the individual. Some have to do it step by step. Even the individual that has to take step by step, can make quantum leaps. It really is up to each individual. What you can hear from us: the development of consciousness is very real, it is very tangible and it is not something that, as some people may think, they are recreating in their mind.
You need to understand the difference between mind and consciousness – these are not the same thing. The mind is an instrument, a tool to use. You, as human beings and your consciousness, can use your mind as an instrument for good, to create goodness in your life, in your world. Please understand that there is a very specific difference between the mind, or mental body, and consciousness. They are not the same. A lot of people on Earth think that the mind and consciousness are the same thing and that creates so much confusion. Remember, when the mind is confused, consciousness can’t do much for that person, because that confusion creates interference.
Tame the Mind
When you say that you want to develop fully, that you want to develop your consciousness, then you have to learn to master your mind. You have to tame the mind, in other words, you also have to tame the ego structure that we talked about before, because the ego structure is such a clever and sneaky structure, that it can pose as the mind. You have to learn to recognise that and this takes training. You have to train yourself to identify the voice of ego, the voice of your own mind and the voice of consciousness. You have to train yourself to correctly identify what you are tuning into.
The simple answer is, when you are with your ego, you will begin to create thoughts and feelings that are mostly centred on yourself.
When you have altruistic views, ideas, or you are creating a project or something that goes to benefit other people, you are tuning in with your consciousness.
Ego Structure
The ego structure is there to help you identify that. You can also do it through your consciousness, so it goes through steps of evolution. When you are the basic level, you will be much more reliant on your ego structure and as you move forward along the path, you will rely fully on your consciousness, your higher consciousness. Then the ego structure is not necessary anymore. It is a transition.
We are not saying, that ego is bad thing or a good thing. We are not saying that you have to kill the ego. That phrase has been promoted so much upon Earth, that has misled so many people and has caused a lot of harm. That is not the way. There is a process and transition as you move along the path, so that you can then heavily interact with your higher consciousness. In that sense ego fulfils its purpose, because it will give you the contrast of what it is like to engage with ego, so that you can recognise higher consciousness. Nothing is there just because.
The development of your higher consciousness also has to do with how much you are aware and how much you become independent from your ego, so you can thank your ego for being there, and not be annoyed by it. If you make mistakes and you say something that you did not want to say and you upset someone, then become aware, make corrections, tap more into your higher consciousness. Ask your higher consciousness to be more present in your life.
Consciousness and Divine Self
Your consciousness works with your divine self. Your ego cannot work with your divine self. These are 2 different things. However, the ego was given to human beings to live in the 3rd dimensional world. There are some positive aspects to the ego. They are few, compared to the negative aspects. The negative aspects awaken when the person is not conscious, but then through the connection with your consciousness you can transform that ego and then really make use of the positive aspects. The positive aspects are for example self-preservation. That is the function of ego, but it can get too carried away, so that it becomes selfish and will step all over other people in order to self-preserve itself. Through ego you also get to judge, and sometimes judgment is necessary in order to really navigate yourself through interactions with people, because if you are too naive, you might be fooled by someone who does not have good intention.
Keep Moving Forward
We will talk more about development of consciousness and how you can become freer and freer of that ego structure. Move forward, keep on moving forward despite all the chaos and fear that is going on on Earth right now. Trust yourself, keep trusting yourself, keep emanating that higher vibration an trust that it is making a difference. You don’t need to do anything else, unless someone is willing to listen to you, unless someone is open to spend time with you to have a conversation so you can sit down with that person and explain how things are. Otherwise, if you are with people that are caught up in fear and they can’t see beyond that, just send them light, because your words will be wasted as they don’t have the capacity to listen to you, because they are so caught up in fear. Be a good cheer and have the intention to pass on that good vibration to others. That works with those, who are receptive.
Pure Communication
It is important that each of you practice the skill, which is called channeling in your world. In our world, this act is just pure communication. We call it pure communication, you call it channeling. When someone works as channel or bridge, that consciousness has to heighten or quicken and we invite you to practice that, because it is highly beneficial for your development. In the process of pure communication or channeling, the vessel has to be clear enough, otherwise interference will take place and it all becomes very distorted. On the 5th dimension, this kind of communication is very common and it is a skill that you develop over time. Most practitioners will be afraid in the beginning, because they do not know what is going on. Each of you has a very strong connection with a higher being and our suggestion is, that you begin connecting with that higher being. Just ask for the true higher being, because there are many copies out there. Another requirement for this pure communication is, that you commune with your divine self on a daily basis. Do that even more and do it with more faith than ever before.
