121. Exchanging Ego for Soul: How to Remember Who We Are

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 121 My kids recently lost their great grandfather. It was an open casket. Before the visitation, I told my kids that even though they’d be looking at their great grandfather’s body, his soul was not there. Have you ever noticed that the body never really looks like the person did in life? There are many reasons for this, but the most important one, to me, is that a body isn’t really anything without a soul. I told my kids that just like our car is important to us because it takes us from school to piano to baseball and home again, our bodies are just vehicles for our souls. They are, at their best, functional for us. At worst, they can be the very things that keep us from embodying love, which is our greatest calling. On earth, we focus so much on our bodies, on our human forms. We exercise and diet and hang mirrors everywhere, and even if we’re not looking at our literal bodies, we’re thinking about satisfying cravings, elevating ourselves, getting ahead, and winning. This is all living from ego. What do I mean by that, and why does it matter? Let’s get into it in today’s podcast. EPISODE 121 TOPICS: - In order to reach full consciousness, to live in the energy frequency of unconditional love, we have to retrain our human selves to learn to live from the soul. - The idea of soul and ego isn’t a new thing. - It’s your brain (your mortal, human thing) mismatching with your soul (your eternal, God thing).
