Shifting Focus

Suicide … the taking of one’s earthly life by intention or will.  It does not cause the death of the soul, for that is eternal.  The life lessons must continue, for that is the nature of the soul … ever learning, ever expanding.  And now you learn a new term this week:  "egocide"—the death of the ego through willful intent.  This you must do over and over if you wish to place your focus on the soul, for ego is an integral part of the human.  Yes, the spiritual path is a journey from ego to soul, but not the complete obliteration of the ego.  Ego is necessary for certain human functions. This term, “egocide,” is quite useful, however, for bringing awareness that it is through your choices that you can move your focus from ego to spirit and thus advance your growth.

Egocide.  It is a willful act that says, “I choose to focus on unity and love through the willful suppression of the illusion of separation.  I value the ego for the lessons it brings.  I embrace its role, but for now, I choose love.”
