==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Consciousness]], force is expressed via [[Will]] and [[Intent]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raw force cannot do anything. If you randomly start cutting wood without a clear idea in your mind, no house would ever gets built. Therefore it is clear, force must be combined with [[Formation]] in order for things to get done and creation to move forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Force is the prime mobile of physical creation. It is the cause of and driving engine behind the emanation of consciousness and the manifestation of [[Physical Creation]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Creation&#039;s Equation]] = [[Force]]+ [[Formation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Collective Consciousness]] of this planet, force (yang) has been associated with the male body form. Subsequently (and as a consequence of the imposition of the [[ideology]] of [[Patriarchy]], ) the male body form has been glorified and empowered above others. The association and glorification has elevated and empowered Force over Formation on this planet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The elevation of Force over Formation is a manipulated intervention in the [[Alchemy]] of [[Creation]]. While this may have alchemical utility in the short term (i.e. as a strategy to achieve [[Ascension]] (BOLIFE), in the long term the imbalanced use of Force causes the decay and disintegration of [[Physical Creation]].  In actual fact the [[Human Form]] must use both aspects of energy in order to grow, mature, develop, and stay healthy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In ancient Egyptian cosmology, Atum, the primordial being, manifest creation through the &amp;quot;spoken word.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;...the formation of a concept...and the actualization of that concept by means of a command that is inherently compelling (&amp;quot;Annunciation&amp;quot;). Because of its causal role, the intellectual principle is antecedent to the material...The creation first existed in the mind of the creator: he &#039;crafted the world in the design of this heart&#039; (Text 14, 6) &amp;quot;foretold what was not and thought of what is&#039; (Text, 113, 8) (Allen, 1988: 59).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maurice Samuel notes that fascism, nazism, authoritarianism is the outcome of a society based on excessive and exclusive use of force. Samuel contrasts this use of force with Christ&#039;s teachings, &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Samuel, Maurice. The Great Hatred. University Press of America, 1940.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;which are more of the egalitarian, formative side. &amp;quot;New in the Nazi-Fascist espousal of the force philosophy are the following: the wilfulness and self-consciousness of the espousal; the high-spirited negation of hope that it is mankind&#039;s destiny to move away from the force-foundation of human relationships; the denial that this hope is a worthy one; the enthusiastic undertaking to defeat its realization.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;Ref&amp;gt;Samuel, Maurice. The Great Hatred. University Press of America, 1940. p. 58&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Spiritual Ego&#039;&#039;&#039; is your [[Real Self]], your [[True Self]], your [[Highest Self]]. Your spiritual ego is that part of your identity which is eternal and that exists independently of your [[Physical Unit]]. In other words, your soul, [[Atman]], higher Self, etc.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sosteric, Mike, and Ratkovic, Gina. Lightning Path Workbook One: Basic Concepts. Vol. 1. Lightning Path Workbook Series.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Propositions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spiritual ego is eternal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spiritual ego is independent of, and simultaneously the source of, all physical existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spiritual ego is pure light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spiritual ego is always and everywhere loving, compassionate, expansive, powerful, pristine, and pure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spiritual ego is an [[Intensification of Consciousness]] /Awareness within [[The Fabric]] to the point where [[Ego]] emerges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spiritual ego is like the driver of an autonomous vehicle.  The driver of the vehicle allows the Artificial Intelligence (AI) to steer the vehicle, but the driver, the spiritual ego or highest self, can take control of the vehicle from the bodily ego at any time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spiritual Ego is [[Ego]]. Ego is I + Eye + Will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spiritual Ego emerges within [[The Fabric of Consciousness]] as a consequence of the [[Intensification of Consciousness]]. It is important to note that intensification to the point of egoic awareness does not entail any separation from the Fabric of Consciousness. A [[Spiritual Ego]] remains fundamentally embedded within the Fabric of Consciousness.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{template:bolightVI}} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Nevertheless, a practical separation from the Fabric of Consciousness is attained at the point of intensification when a &amp;quot;boundary&amp;quot; between the &amp;quot;I&amp;quot; and the rest of the fabric is instantiated. As long as the boundary is maintained, the intensification may be classed a spiritual ego. Without the boundary, ego merges into the Fabric of Consciousness and identity is lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These ideas are expressed by [[Swami Vivekananda]]: &amp;quot;When we speak of man as no other than that infinite being which is manifesting itself, we mean that only one very small part thereof is man; this body and this mind Downloaded from www.holybooks.com: &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;https://www.holybooks.com/complete-works-of-swami-vivekananda/&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; which we see are only one part of the whole, only one spot of the infinite being. This whole universe is only one speck of the infinite being; and all our laws, our bondages, our joys and our sorrows, our happinesses and our expectations, are only within this small universe; all our progression and digression are within its small compass. &amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Vivekananda, Swami. “Karma Yoga.” &#039;&#039;Collected Works of Swami Vivekananda&#039;&#039;. Vol. 1. 9 vols.

== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I had begun to have what I called anxiety attacks--shots of driving energy that sometimes made it difficult to concentrate on daily tasks. I was consumed with a mixture of panic, fear, and anger. Yet at the same time I was aware of a gentle, deep connection with a new spirituality, an unfamiliar source inside me that was expansive, joyful, and peaceful.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Grof, Christina, and Stanislav Grof. The Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth Through Transformational Crises. TarcherPerigee, 1992. p. 12.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shamans sense the structure of spiritual ego &amp;quot;The shaman’s idea of power is similar to our concept of energy, yet it includes more: energy as well as intelligence and self-confidence.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Harner, Michael.

&amp;lt;blockquote class=&amp;quot;quotation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The following brief cases will make this clear [121 : 586]: Dr. George Wyld says (upon taking chloroform): “I suddenly experienced the extraordinary impression that my spiritual being stood visibly outside my body, regarding that deserted body lying on the bed.Shortly afterward I called on three different professional chloroformists and asked them if any of their subjects had ever experienced sensations like my own. In reply one gentleman said : ‘I have often heard patients express similar ideas.’ Another said : ‘I myself have experienced on three occasions, when under chloroform, exactly similar sensations.’ And the third gentleman said : ‘My patients have often said that they experienced no pain, but felt as if they saw with their inner eye all I was doing during the operations. I was told of a patient who said, after anesthesis : ‘I thought I had got at the bottom of the secrets of nature.’ And a dentist told me that many of his patients had experienced similar sensations to those I described.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The late John Addington Symonds described his sensations (while under the influence of chloroform) thus : “I seemed at first in a state of utter blankness; then came flashes of intense light, alternating with blankness and with a keen vision of what was going on in the room round me, but no sensation of touch. I thought that I was near death, when suddenly my soul became aware of God, who was manifestly dealing with me, handling me, so to speak, in an intense personal present reality. I felt Him streaming in like light upon me and heard Him saying in no language, but as hands touch hands and communicate sensations : ‘I led thee; I guided thee; you will never sin and weep and wail in madness any more; for now you have seen Me.’ My whole consciousness seemed brought into one point of absolute conviction; the independence of my mind from my body was proved by the phenomena of this acute sensibility to spiritual facts, this utter dead-ness of the senses. Life and death seemed mere names.” … Symonds adds: “I cannot describe the ecstasy I felt, “ and, referring to his experience and its psychological evidence, says : “If this had happened to a man in an uncritical age would it not have carried conviction, like that of Saul of Tarsus, to his soul?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Bucke, Richard Maurice.
