Our Personality (ego)
Through our ego, our personality develops. When we are young, we are told what is acceptable so we repress the exact opposite, and hence, we have created our personality. As we live our life, we try to fit in with our family and with society, and we end up adopting certain behaviors. This conduct gets ingrained within our personality each year we live.
Our ego follows the acceptable worldview of our family and general public. What we can outwardly see, touch, taste, smell and hear dominates. Our ego is a valuable asset we have as it grants us is the ability to live in our world.
Now for the Soul
The soul does not take on a form like our ego does, but instead is more abstract. The soul is ruled by our inner world, instead of our outer world. The five senses don’t have any power in this inner world, so we have to tap into another sense. What we see, hear and sense inwardly is our soul speaking to us.
An imaginary, enigmatic veil covers your ego, and once lifted the spark of the Beloved is witnessed in all its intoxicating joy. The piercing vibration of our eternal existence makes us scream with delight. There is an overwhelming happiness knowing that the most cherished place inside of you is connected with an invincible exalted force.
A Rabbi Talking…
Sufi Mystics (and all mystics) teach, Where the two seas meet is the Mystical Marriage (Unio Mystica) of our Human nature and Spiritual Nature- To fully incarnate the Soul into Human Destiny-we live from the Heart, the bridge the connects the Human to the Spiritual.
Religion comes from the Latin - meaning to bring us back to our Divine origin. All religions have a esoteric (hidden) component to them, this is known as the inner spiritual traditions of a particular faith. When someone embarks on the esoteric path, they are mystics. This is not about belief, this is about self-knowledge, which leads them to remember their soul, and the Transcendent Force of the Universe.
To be able to recognize the soul in another, is the path of the mystics.
The esoteric wisdom of all religions are very similar as they focus on the soul within the person, and a God that cannot be named. The esoteric wisdom bridges the gap between the soul, the immanence and the God without, the Beloved Transcendent.
But the Mystical Marriage (Unio Mystica) comes when the ego is under control, not in control- then the union of ego and soul are walking together hand in hand; wrapping them with its encircling light, the Energy of all Energies shines within them, and all around them.
