Essential Point:

The Regular Ego is to think you know it all.

The Spiritual Ego is to think you Know it all.

Overview:

Both the Regular and Spiritual Ego operate at the Level of Mind – you just think you are beyond the Mind when you are Identified with the Spiritual Ego. Put another way, the Regular Ego is someone who is Identified with their Mind while the Spiritual Ego is someone who is Identified with their Mind that thinks they are not Identified with their Mind. In either case, Identification with the Mind remains.

Another way to understand the Spiritual Ego is to Interpret it as someone who has become Attached to not having any Attachments. They have made an Identity out of not having an Identity. This is what makes the Spiritual Ego so tricky and subtle, often going undiagnosed.

The Spiritual Ego is often revealed when a Spiritualist gets defensive about Spirituality – when this happens, you are someone who defends not having any mental positions with a Mental Position. The Truth needs no defense, and when the Ego is truly Dissolved, all Resistance and Mental Positions Dissolve with it.

One could say that the Spiritual Ego is a Lighter or less Dense version of the Regular Ego, and while it may suggest progression of Consciousness on the Awakening Journey, you are still not Pure and you still have not worked through all of your Karma. You are not yet ready for Nirvana. You have more Path to Walk. Spiritual Ego implies evidence of remaining Mind-Identification, and the Intellectualization of Spiritual Concepts that have not yet been fully Realized on the level of Being, which is beyond the Mind, and the True domain of Spirituality.

It is quite common for even the most earnest of Spiritual Travelers to get stuck in a Spiritual Ego phase along the Awakening Journey. If you find yourself Here, do not fret – this too shall pass. The initial glimpses of Awareness and Awakening can be so awe-inspiring that you unintentionally pass subtle Judgment on those who are not yet Awakening or Conscious themselves. You may come to see those with a more expanded Consciousness as more Pure, Advanced, or Intelligent than those who are less Conscious, or Unconscious.

And while it is true that those who are Awakening are more Aware and Conscious than those who are not yet Awakening, It becomes Spiritually Egoic, when you derive and compare someone’s intrinsic sense of worth from their Level of Consciousness. When you derive someone’s Identity from their current Level of Consciousness, as opposed to Consciousness itself, you are back in the Judging Mind.

The Spiritual Ego is a subtle Form of Spiritual Bypassing and Toxic Spirituality that must ultimately also be Dissolved in order to continue the Purification process that is the Essence of the Awakening Journey. To do so, continue to bring Awareness into your Mental-Emotional Thought processes to evaluate if any of your Spiritual Practices carry any Ego-Investment. If you are deriving a sense of self from Spiritual Beliefs then you are still stuck in the Mind, as Beliefs only exist on the Level of Mind, regardless of whether they are Spiritual or Physical. You are stuck in the Spiritual Mind and you are experiencing Spirituality on the Level of Mind rather than the level of Soul, which is where Realizations occur.

Let your Spiritual Mental Positions go. Let it all go. Surrender all Belief over to the Great Unknown. You think you Know, and that is the problem – you must stop thinking and start Being to Truly Know. Let the Mind go. The Spiritual Ego phase is a very tricky attempt of the Regular Ego to creep back in and to keep its claws in your Consciousness. Ultimately, however, it is no match against the Purity of Light that will Dissolve it if shined on.
