4. “Everything we do in live is motivated by the
needs of the ego or the desires of the soul; there
are no exceptions to this rule. When the beliefs
of the ego are in alignment with the values of the
soul, we find a sense of well-being. What blocks
this alignment are the fears of the ego.”

7. YOUR SOUL HAS A PLAN FOR
YOUR LIFE: THAT IS WHY IT
CHOSE YOUR BODY.
YOU CAN GET ON BOARD
WITH YOUR SOUL’S PLAN OR
YOU CAN IGNORE IT. THE
CHOICE IS YOURS.
IF YOU CHOOSE THE PATH OF
YOUR SOUL, YOUR LIFE WILL
NO LONGER BE YOUR OWN;
YOU WILL HAVE TO BECOME
THE SERVANT OF YOUR SOUL.

8. We start our lives in soul
awareness: we move into ego
awareness, and if all goes well—
if we are able to progress through
all the stages of psychological
development—we finish our lives
in soul awareness.

If we don’t move
beyond the different-
iating stage we will
always operate from
self-interest.
We can only operate
from the common good
if we move beyond the
individuating stage of
development.

29. The things that keep us
anchored in the lower
levels of consciousness :
Unresolved
traumatic
experiences
Subconscious
fears from
childhood and
teenage years
(Early
Maladaptive
Schema).
Worldviews in
which we live.
Country and
Organization.

survival needs met you will not be
