The spiritual paths are means for transcendence of ego – this uncontrollable
fixation on ourselves. Naturally formed in our growth and psychological
development. The reversal to return home to our soul. The ego forms our
personal identity which is necessary in the normal course of becoming individual
selves. However, our ego can block us in our growth as spiritual beings when it
defines our purpose and goals. The return to God is the shedding of the ego and
the return of the soul.
