The ego craves comfort. It longs to belong. It hides inside systems that promise safety without truth.
But here’s what most people miss :
Your soul is always pure. It doesn’t need schemes. It only longs for connection, love, and G-d. The ego is separate. It’s not your soul. It’s the part that fears, compares, and clings.
That’s why the ego loves schemes:
Answers without questions.
Belonging without boundaries.
Certainty without responsibility.
Adam & Eve faced this first.
The serpent spoke to the ego, not the soul:
“Outsource responsibility.
Follow me, you’ll feel safe, you’ll be like G-d.”
The first scheme. The first seduction of the ego. Schemes comfort the ego… But they disconnect the soul. Real faith doesn’t reduce you.
It lifts your soul back into truth, love, confidence and responsibility. If your “faith” makes you smaller, weaker, or more afraid, It’s not faith. It’s a scheme.

Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
