Faery land, Elven World and the Ego; Notes from Tara

[Tara]

Faeryland, Elven World and the Ego 

 - T.E. Pelton 

 

Ego is the human characteristic of identity. It is your name, your "beingness", your life choices, your hairdo: everything that is unique to you and is an expression of you. 

 

Mystics often speak about "losing the ego" as a way to find relief of suffering.  It is true. You do not feel loss, pain or passion, if you do not exist. ;-) 

 

Except the ego is the entire reason we are here - to feel the pain, the passion, the intensity of living, to relish in all of it. Otherwise, why leave the non-physical land of blissful awareness and enter the third dimensional human body?  

The only pain is the inability to remember this is why you came here in the first place ;-) 

 

We all must live with our egos. The beauty of death is no longer having one. The beauty of life is having eyes through which you can see.  

 

Faery land however, the land of the Elven and the Fae, is the world just shy of death, just touching the dawn of life, the in-between point where you can hold out your arms to the infinite and dig your feet into the ground of the Earth.

Relish in who you are  - you are divine.

 

Blessings on this day,

This world has forgotten that the EGO is sacred and holy, one part of the whole, neither beneath nor above anything else, but balanced ever in light and love with ALL-THAT-IS which proceeds from the limitless love that stands at the heart of the Divine Mystery.

I wonder, could we fully develop compassion, empathy, and forgiveness without having experienced the suffering resulting from having an ego that feels separate from its true home?

[Nevin]

I heard the other day that we are the only creatures with the capacity to feel we don't belong.   The animal kingdom, the plant kingdom all just feel just one.   But us, alienation makes us unique in this dimension and is an essential spice of life.   Only that with an ego can feel that she/he doesn't belong.   Humans aren't Angels yet! Almost, but not quite.  It's nice to relax into one's skin now and then.  Uhhhhh...
