Separation from the Ego IV (192)

We are an Essence

Separation is the understanding that we are the awareness the essence and that the ego or the other things that appear in that awareness are something that are not of the essence and are not us. The whole key to that of separation is this formula: These thoughts are not me, this logic is not mine, these emotions are not mine either. But we need the consciousness experience that we are not the ego, nor the thoughts, nor the body nor the personality.


Non-Identification

Separation is also non-identification. Meditation on the ego is not that superficial thing of analysying the details of what happened, and how it could have been avoided etc, but being the consciousness and questioning deeply the existence of that “I’ that is trying and we have let it take the place of the consciousness.


How do we Know we are an Essence?

How do we understand that we are the awareness the essence? The answer is by meditating deeply on these formulas or facts and inquiries. The questioning of ourselves is really very deep but the thing is, we have to get or arrive at our own answer to this question. It helps us immensely and it is fundamental to our knowledge and to our who we are and what we are doing here.

When we are bothered by an ego the first thing to ask ourselves is: “What ‘I’?”. Because the ‘I’ of that ego does not exist. The consciousness is not an “I”.


Conclusion

The hypnotic grip of the ego is among other things the belief that we are that ego. We feel one with that ego. Separation is impossible when we think that the ego is one with us or that we are the ego. Separation is so fundamental in our psychological well-being, in transforming impressions and in the death of the ego.
