"Highest-Self" versus the "Ego"

Fear gave birth to the ego and is a state of illusion. 
Love bonds, repairs and acts as a fusion.

The Course in Miracles speaks about the opposite of love not being hate, but fear.  It teaches that love and fear are the two foundational emotions a human being feels. Foundational because all other emotional states generate from one of them. 

Hate, greed, and arrogance all have fear at their footing.  While compassion, care, and gratitude are found only were love is rooting.

Fear birthed the ego and is a state of inner-division or fragmentation. We can’t access intuition, or our inner guidance when our ego is in fear and drowning it out. The ego’s goal is to keep us safe because it sees us as completely separate and alone. However, the ego’s version of “safe” is the Highest-Self version of limitation. 

The Highest-Self is the part of us that is connected to all that is and recognizes such. Interestingly enough, quantum physics has shown just how interconnected everything is. If everything is energy and energy isn’t subject to space and time like the material laws of physics, then our rational understanding of cause and effect is rendered limited. This explains a lot.1

The Heart Math Institute conducted research on intuition. They hooked up electrodes to the brain, the heart and the skin to see which one reacted most, or first, to negative images. They were surprised to find that the human heart was the first part of the body to significantly react to a negative image. However, something unexpected happened in this experiment. The heart reacted seconds before the negative image was even randomly chosen by the computer.2

So what is this Highest-Self? One way to grasp it is to see it as the essence of who we are without our fears, defense mechanisms, triggers, and woundings. It is the part of us that is self-aware, able to choose, pure-hearted, and able to tune in to live intuitively. 
In coaching, the Highest-Self is where our wisdom and most brilliant solutions are waiting patiently to be of service. Coaches are adept at helping us access this part of ourselves so that we can live at the cause of life.

"Fear sticks us at the effect of physical laws.
Love places us at the cause.
​
The ego kneels to illusion. 
Your Highest-Self heals all confusion.
The ego is afraid and its ruminations replete. 
Your Highest-Self is whole and complete. "
