| Ego-Self | Higher-Self |
|---|---|
| Self-centered | Outward-focus |
| Fearful and Hostile | Fearless and Loving |
| Craves attention | Gives attention |
| Grabs credit | Solves problems |
| Dogmatic | Creative |
| Protects boundaries | Transcends boundaries |
| Possessive | Generous |
| Ignorance and doubt | Truth and deeper knowledge |
| Creates drama and turmoil | Thrives in silence and peace |
We all have both the ego-self and the higher-self. But for most the ego-self is the primary way we express our consciousness. So the choice is ours. Do we want to spend the rest of our lives with the ego-self or instead move towards the higher-self? The journey out of the ego-self and into the higher-self is yoga. Do you want to make this journey?
