ALTER EGOS

WE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN ONE PERSON. THERE IS THE TIMID, SHY, AGGRESSIVE, JEALOUS, PROUD, FEARFUL, SCARED ONES IN US. DEPENDING ON WHICH EGO TYPE IS IN CONTROL SO ALSO ALL THE THOUGHTS AND ASSOCIATED FEELINGS. THESE EGO STATES KEEP CHANGING AND THIS IS WHY ONE SEES DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. THIS IS NOT SURPRISING AS WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. WE CAN ADAPT TO THE SITUATION AT HAND. HOWEVER SOMETIMES A DEPRESSED STATE CAN BE PROLONGED AND THIS STATE THEN BECOMES IN CONTROL OF ALL OUR FUNCTIONS. THE DEPRESSED STATE DEPRESSES ALL OUR FUNCTIONS OF BODY AND MIND. IN EXTREME CASES THE EGO SPLITS OF ITS SEPARATE STATES FROM EACH OTHER AND ONE THEN DISPLAYS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES. ONE PERSONALITY IS UNCONSCIOUS OF THE PRESENCE OF THE OTHERS. WHEN YOU ARE OPERATING IN ONE MODE THEN YOU WALK AND TALK LIKE AS IF THAT IS YOUR REAL PERSONALITY. THESE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES COME INTO PLAY IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. IT IS LIKE ONE IS AN ACTOR AND PLAYS DIFFERENT ROLES. ONE ROLE IS UNAWARE OF THE OTHER ROLES. IN CHRIST YOU CAN DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THESE EGO STATES AND BE CHRIST. THIS IS THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION AS I RENOUNCE MY ALTER EGOS AND PUT ON CHRIST. THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN YOU WILL HELP YOU AS YOU DIE TO THE FLESH AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT.TO BE IN CHRIST IS TO BE WHOLE IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.
