The Shift From Ego To Soul

From the moment we step onto the spiritual path, the shift from ego to soul is the underlying dynamic transition that is occurring. This fundamental reorientation continues even into states of illumination and beyond until Christ Consciousness (Enlightened, God~Self Realized, and fully embodied) is reached. All along the way, the remaining remnants of ego will continue to dissolve. Thus, it may be inaccurate to assume that, just because elevated states of being have been reached, one is fully beyond the ego-to-soul journey. When ego has been fully transcended, there will be no one left to even think about any of this.
Until then, this Module offers support for this foundational shift. It begins with a discussion of some of the fundamental dynamics and issues we face as the focus of our being moves from ego to soul. Understanding and aligning with these dynamics catalyzes soul-evolution as we continually take the next steps in this all-important aspect of awakening.
What Are the Ego and the Soul? by Barry Martin Snyder
In the journey from ego to soul, it is helpful to understand both the state of conscious being we are moving away from and that which we are moving toward. This recording discusses the ego, its nature, and how it came into being. This is followed by a brief description of what the soul is and how we come to realize it is our true, eternal nature.

The Differences Between Ego and Soul by Karen Anderson
In every moment, our awareness is either focalized in the ego-mind or in the true self, the soul. We know we want to live from the soul, not the ego, but especially in the early stages of awakening, it can sometimes be hard to tell which is which. The more we know about how the ego operates, the easier it becomes to spot it when it arises, before it overtakes our awareness and we find ourselves doing and saying things we later regret. As you learn some primary differences between the two, you gain the capacity to discern which is which in daily life.

The Path of Faith: An Introduction and an Inner Experience by Barry Martin Snyder
How many times do we find ourselves beyond the edge of our understandings of how to cope with or navigate life? We're faced with the unknown continuously, especially as change and complexity accelerate. When we've hit the limit of our intellect and reasoning, where do we turn? Faith in the still, small voice of our soul is the way beyond the stress, fear and confusion. With growing faith in the Knowing of what is true for us -- what is divine will for our journey -- we relax into a deepening state of trust and bask in the peace that ensues from that.

Come Out of the Office and Into the Cathedral: An Inner Experience by Karen Anderson
During the early 1990s, we were blessed to spend many 5 p.m. meditation times in the presence of one of the last living original stewards of the I AM Teachings, Pearl Dorris. A story her assistant, Bill Gaum, often told came from Pearl's years of living in Mt. Shasta, CA, when disciples from all over the world regularly gathered in her home for meditations and teachings. This audio shares one of Pearl's many treasures -- a simple, effective way of helping us all to come out of the mind and into our hearts and souls.

Breathe, Feel, and Turn It Over to God: An Inner Experience by Karen Anderson
What do we do when "stuff" arises? When things get intense in our mental-emotional world, do we take the bait and fall into unconscious reaction? Or try to avoid and deny what is going on? As we all know, these responses usually only compound the suffering of all involved. There is another way -- a simple, inner practice that uses the power of our awareness and attention to support what is already wanting to occur. As we breathe, feel what is present within, and give it to the Divine instead of thinking we should know what to do with it, miracles of release and healing can happen. This seemingly-simple practice can form the foundation of compassionately being with ourselves and what we are experiencing, a capacity that continually deepens over time.

The Three-Fold Flame of Purification by Barry Martin Snyder
A number of transformational gifts of grace that come directly from ascended sources are given in this recording. The Threefold Flame of Purification is a combination and synthesis of three different transformational flames, the Violet Flame, Christ White Fire, and the Blue Flame of Transmutation. Each has a particularly important and powerful focus of purification action. Listening to this audio, you will learn about each of these flames and how together they can be very helpful in purifying innumerable blockages, samskaras and distorted energetic patterns of all kinds. In many cases this occurs directly, removing things we do not need to process in consciousness.

The Spiritual Ego by Karen Anderson and Barry Martin Snyder
Have you ever noticed it can be hard to tell whether the voice in your head is your friend, or an imposter? It sounds spiritual, but why do you feel so bad and wrong and guilty when you listen to it? It's time to stop being so hard on yourself. Instead of believing the perfectionistic judgments of the spiritual ego, deepen in the awareness that the loving, caring, and wise presence of the soul is who you truly are. Learning to tell the difference between the ways the spiritual ego and the soul operate and communicate is a vital spiritual skill that can change your life.

Being With What We Don't Think We Can: Intro and Process by Barry Martin Snyder
There are times when our evolutionary crisis feels so deep and intense that we come up against things we simply do not feel we have the capacity to stay present with. This audio provides guidance on how to navigate those times. In addition, a guided inner experience leads you through a process that can be very helpful in maintaining the inner strength and alignment to transit even the most challenging and painful patterns that are arising.
