Quote:Does that mean that most entities who enter fourth density are still attached to their ego?
My guess is that they are, but "attached" is different than "limited by". For many of us in third density, the ego is the only identity we can apprehend. We don't have a good, solid way of understanding ourselves outside of the personality shell usually. I imagine in fourth density the ego is much more a narrowly-construed yellow ray vehicle. We're not trapped in the vehicle because we have an identity above and beyond it; we can take the ego on and off. Perhaps it is in some ways the yellow ray equivalent of the magical personality, something we don and remove in order to manifest and act yellow ray.
From my reading of Confederation transmissions thus far, I have to say as a side note how struck I am by their acceptance of the ego as a necessary, positive part of our experience. Their advice seems to always be not so much about shedding the ego or becoming egoless as much as putting the proper emphasis on it. It is the exclusive identification with the ego that seems for them much, much, much more problematic than simply having an ego. They describe it as a defense mechanism, too, so it's entirely possible that without anything to defend in fourth density, its character and utility changes mightily.
I'm gonna throw this excerpt on the pile since, while it may not directly apply to your question specifically, it's a nice taste of the attitude with which those of the Confederation regard the ego:
Hatonn Wrote:Each of you in the group, that has come to planet Earth at this time together, is a highly disciplined person. Ego is useful for being a chemical being upon a chemical planet. To be totally without ego would be somewhat awkward. We do not fear ego or ask you to dismantle it. We ask you to be aware of the way it works in your life. And when you feel that you have become offensive because of it, correct that action. That is all you need to worry about, in ego. If you are giving information to others, you may become tired of the sound of your voice. You may feel that you are showing off your information or your knowledge. But we ask you, why do you think that you had that information? Be humble in your heart and know that you are nothing without the Creator but clay and dust. But know also that you are a perfect created being. Do not be proud of the dust, but be unafraid to share the joy of being a child of God.
We ask you in all sincerity to have confidence and not to worry about your ego, but simply to analyze your actions in each case. And when you have determined whether your ego or your love was working, adjust your behavior accordingly. For you are not in a situation where others will understand you and it would do you no good to speak to others. Thus, you must be your own disciplinarian. You are always able to speak at any time on the physical plane with those others of your group with whom you came. If there is a question that you cannot penetrate, we urge you to speak to the one known as Don or any of the others in your group. And we assure you that we will send you our thoughts, if you ask us. But most of all, you must have the confidence to realize that you know the score, and that you are too much a student of life to allow something that has been a rather beautiful and loving existence up to this point [to] become marred by excessive egoism.
We are aware that you have been egotistic in the past; so has everyone that is incarnate in a chemical universe. Ego is a defense mechanism, it is a separator. Without ego you would become the proverbial doormat.
Know who you are, let your ego speak, but then let it be quiet. Simply see the balance between too little and too much. We are aware that many Eastern religions encourage the total abolishment of ego. This is all very well and good in a culture where the holy are fed. In your particular culture, the holy are normally considered quite insane, thus, retain your protective coloration and your ego [as] part of that. For you cannot function unless the society perceives you as normal. But know in your heart who you are. And let not your ego tell you that you have limitations.
