You can [[experience]] this.  You can experience this depth and breadth of your own [[soul]] for, setting aside your ongoing experience of all that’s around you and in you in deep [[meditation]] and [[Reverence|revere]], you can re-experience previous [[moments]] of your life almost as when they first happened.  They are still there in a soulful [[embrace]], still [[transcendent]], still reassuring you that you are more, so infinitely more that what you can yet fully [[experience]] momentarily.  This brings up, then, the question--not that you need another one ([[Mother Spirit]] chuckles): but this does bring up the question: who and what is this [[self-conscious]] you?

Your [[personality]] is capable of identifying with self-made constructs we call your [[self-conscious]]-[[self]].  This is when you are [[aware]] of yourself.  This is what your [[psychology]] nominally calls [[ego]].  There have been thousands of [[books]] written on this construct and their [[definitions]] differ enormously from one psychology to another, even from one historical [[culture]] to another.  We liken it to your bathroom [[mirror]] which is very handy for shaving or putting on your makeup in the morning.  Your [[reflection]] is apparently [[three]] [[dimensional]], but limited to [[sight]] alone, and so your [[ego]] is a similar kind of construct/[[reflection]], but limited with respect to the [[God]]-created [[personality]] and [[soul]] of you.  It’s a socially [[necessary]] way of you [[being]] [[aware]] of yourself, for those who are not capable of creating such a [[self]] [[awareness]] have to be institutionalized.  There are some [[human beings]] who unfortunately live barely above the [[stage]] of an [[intelligent]] [[animal]] and for that very reason cannot [[function]] socially and have to be more or less taken care of.
