Ever feel alone, stuck, or disconnected? Here’s something shocking: Your soul chose your ego, on purpose. It’s not punishment. It’s your ticket to building your own eternal future.
Think of your ego like weights in a gym:
They feel tough. Sometimes painful. But each lift makes you stronger.
Here’s a breakdown of the 5 types of ego one might have:
- Complete Tzadik (Fully Righteous)
• Your ego effortlessly surrenders.
• Connecting to G-d and others feels natural.
• But here’s the secret: This level isn’t earned, it’s a divine gift given to a few who are meant to be powerful channels of G-dliness (compassion and kindness).
- Incomplete Tzadik (Mostly Righteous)
1. Your ego mostly surrenders.
2. Connecting is easy, with occasional minor struggles with compassion and kindness
3. Still rare, still gifted.
- Beinoni (Constantly Struggling, in-between)
1. Your ego never gives up.
2. Connection is a daily battle, but you keep choosing what’s right.
3. This is your reachable goal, the true hero’s journey.
- Rasha With Remorse (Battling Hard, yet ‘wicked’)
• Your ego often wins, but you regret your setbacks.
• Your sincere remorse transforms each failure into powerful growth.
• You’re struggling, but your growth is real.
- Rasha Without Remorse (Feeling Lost)
1. Your ego wins often, and you might not notice or care yet.
2. But there’s always a way back, connection is possible anytime.
3. You’re never too far gone.
Here’s why your ego matters:
Imagine you’re handed a beautiful house for free. You might worry it’ll vanish, or doubt if you deserve it. But when you build a house brick by brick, it’s truly yours forever. That’s exactly why your soul chose these ego struggles:
1. Every struggle overcome,
2. Every moment of connection,
3. Every act of compassion and boundary-setting,
Adds another brick to your eternal home, the World to Come. Every type of ego is needed for the world to function well.
Quick Steps to Connect Right Now:
1. Notice your struggles: Seeing your battles gives them purpose.
2. Acknowledge tiny victories: Each small win over ego makes bigger victories easier.
Remember:
Your ego isn’t your enemy, it’s your partner in creating forever. Your soul is always pure. You’re here to turn struggles into your greatest strength.
