Ego Consciousness - Seth /Jane Roberts

[sound]

The inner ego/inner self always identifies with its source-identity as a beloved, individualized portion of the universe.
It is aware of the universal love that is its heritage.
It is also aware of the infinite power and strength that composes the very fabric of its being.
Through being made aware of these facts, the exterior ego can begin to feel a quicker sense of support and nourishment.
The knowledge can let it relax, let go, so that it feels its life couched and safe, and knows itself to be indeed a beloved child of the universe, both ancient and young at once, with an identity far beyond the annals of time.
It is of great value, then, that each person remember this universal affiliation. Such a reminder can often allow the inner self to send needed messages of strength and love through the various levels, appearing as inspiration, dreams, or simply pure bursts of feeling.
The inner ego draws instant and continuous support from the universal consciousness, and the more the exterior ego keeps that fact in mind, the greater its own sense of stability, safety, and self-esteem.
