15
What is an Ego?
• Your ego is a field of conscious awareness
that identifies with your physical body.
Consequently, the ego believes it can die.
• The ego is not who you are. It is the mask you
wear to get your needs met in the cultural
framework of your physical three-
dimensional framework of existence. We can
call this your False self.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
16
The reality of the Ego
 Because the ego believes it inhabits a body
and can die it believes it has needs.
 Because it believes it has needs, the ego
develops conscious and subconscious fears
about not being able to meet its needs. The
primary needs of the ego are survival,
belonging (relationships) and self-esteem.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
17
What is a Soul?
 Your soul is a field of conscious awareness
that identifies with your four-dimensional
energy field. It is who you really are. You
don’t have a soul; your soul has you.
 Your soul is an individuated aspect of the
universal energy field from which everything
in our physical world derives its being.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
18
The reality of the Soul
 Because the soul identifies with your four-
dimensional energy field and not with the
body, the soul knows it cannot die.
 The soul has no needs because at the level of
reality at which it exists it instantaneously
creates through its thoughts. Because the soul
has no needs, it has no fears.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

Einstein Quote
The non mathematician is seized by a
mysterious shuddering when he
hears of four-dimensional things, by
a feeling that is not unlike the occult.
But there is no more commonplace
statement than the world in which
we live is a four-dimensional
continuum.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

Understanding the difference between
the Ego and Soul Realities
FIVE FINGER EXERCISE
If we can understand the difference between two-
dimensional reality and three-dimensional reality then
we can get a sense of what the difference is between
three-dimensional reality and four-dimensional reality.

and
CONTRIBUTION

The Soul’s Desire
The desire of the soul is to lead a values-driven
and purpose-driven life in our three-
dimensional physical reality.
You can only do this if you are able to align your
ego motivations with your soul motivations.
Give up your False self, Find your True Self and
unleash your Unique Self.

What happens to our creativity?
Small children have no conception of these values and
interact without these limitations.
The ego development
(socialization) process restricts
the natural creativity of our
thinking potential by
automatically assigning value
judgements of good, bad,
right, wrong, proper,
improper, ugly, beautiful. We
accept these judgements so
we can fit in.

Ego Creativity
Creativity at the Ego level is basically problem
solving. It takes place in the conscious mind.
1. Identify the problem
2. Explore creative ideas—think tank
3. Select the best ideas
4. Test the ideas
5. Evaluate the results.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
48
Soul Creativity
Creativity at the soul level involves guidance from
the unconscious quantum mind and investigation
and verification by the conscious mind.
1. Preparation: Gather facts, read and think, think, think,….think.
2. Incubation: Relax, sleep, rest, leave the question behind.
3. Insight or synchronicity: Inspiration, Illumination, thought.
4. Investigation and verification: Bring in the conscious mind.

Here is the Proof
Longitudinal Perspective Studies
The Harvard Grant Study of Social Adjustments began in
1938 and continues to this day—75 years later. The
participants who are left over 90 years of age.
The purpose of the Grant Study, as it is popularly known,
was to learn something about the conditions that
promote optimum health by following 268 men—all
Harvard graduates—throughout their lives.
The Stanford Terman Study of Gifted Children (men and
women) began in 1920 and finished in 2011.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

50
Longitudinal Perspective Studies
George Vaillant was Study Director of the Grant study from
1972 to 2005 and continues to be involved today.
He states:
“The seventy-five years and twenty million dollars
expended on the Grant Study points, at least to me,
leads to a straightforward conclusion:
“Happiness is love. Full stop.” … Love conquers all.”
George Vaillant, Adaptation to Life
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

51
Other Studies
Barbara L. Fredrickson Director of the Positive Emotions and
Psychophysiology Laboratory at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill calls love the “supreme emotion.”
She states:
… [love] is perhaps the most essential emotional
experience for thriving and health. Your body was
designed to harness this power—to live off it. … love is
far more ubiquitous than you ever thought possible for
the simple fact that love is connection.
Barbara Fredrikson, Love 2.0.

52
Longitudinal Perspective Studies
George Vaillant speaking of the Terman Study states:
In midlife creative women were more likely to have had activities
outside the home; at 60 they were more likely to express joy in living.
… creative women were twice as likely as less creative women to
manifest “successful aging.”
Among the 20 most creative women were 9 who achieved
their greatest public success after the age of 60.

53
Longitudinal Perspective Studies
George Vaillant speaking of the Terman Study states:
Like creativity in the Terman women, creativity in the
College men (Grant Study) was associated with
successful aging.
To summarize … creativity was positively correlated
with generativity, sublimation, and altruism.

My Experience
I am 70 years old and I have never been more
creative or happy in my life.
When I am in soul consciousness, especially
when I am working on a new book, my whole
life moves into a state of flow where
“downloads” and synchronicities are
anticipated daily events.

Creativity consists of making discontinuous
quantum leaps into a nonlocal domain of
pure potentiality, that is not accessible
to the thinking ego.

59
It has been my experience that hundreds of
synchronicities go into the writing of one book.
Each one a creative act of discontinuity given by
grace and received with joy.
The joy of creativity lies in the
appreciation of the discontinuity, which confirms
my connection to my soul.

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events
issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of
unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which
no man could have dreamt would have come his way.

  • 15. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 15 What is an Ego? • Your ego is a field of conscious awareness that identifies with your physical body. Consequently, the ego believes it can die. • The ego is not who you are. It is the mask you wear to get your needs met in the cultural framework of your physical three- dimensional framework of existence. We can call this your False self.
  • 16. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 16 The reality of the Ego  Because the ego believes it inhabits a body and can die it believes it has needs.  Because it believes it has needs, the ego develops conscious and subconscious fears about not being able to meet its needs. The primary needs of the ego are survival, belonging (relationships) and self-esteem.
  • 17. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 17 What is a Soul?  Your soul is a field of conscious awareness that identifies with your four-dimensional energy field. It is who you really are. You don’t have a soul; your soul has you.  Your soul is an individuated aspect of the universal energy field from which everything in our physical world derives its being.
  • 18. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 18 The reality of the Soul  Because the soul identifies with your four- dimensional energy field and not with the body, the soul knows it cannot die.  The soul has no needs because at the level of reality at which it exists it instantaneously creates through its thoughts. Because the soul has no needs, it has no fears.
  • 19. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 19 Einstein Quote The non mathematician is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of four-dimensional things, by a feeling that is not unlike the occult. But there is no more commonplace statement than the world in which we live is a four-dimensional continuum.
  • 20. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 20 Understanding the difference between the Ego and Soul Realities FIVE FINGER EXERCISE If we can understand the difference between two- dimensional reality and three-dimensional reality then we can get a sense of what the difference is between three-dimensional reality and four-dimensional reality.

  • 22. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 22 The Comb Analogy Four-dimensional reality CONNECTION
  • 23. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 23 The primary motivation of your soul is: SELF EXPRESSION What is the motivation of my soul?
  • 24. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 24 What is my soul doing in my body? The self-expression of the soul takes two forms: CONNECTION and CONTRIBUTION
  • 25. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 25 The motivations of the soul SELF-EXPRESSION CONNECTION CONTRIBUTION LOVE CREATIVITY LEADING A VALUES- DRIVEN LIFE LEADING A PURPOSE- DRIVEN LIFE TRUE SELF UNIQUE SELF
  • 26. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 26 The Soul’s Desire The desire of the soul is to lead a values-driven and purpose-driven life in our three- dimensional physical reality. You can only do this if you are able to align your ego motivations with your soul motivations. Give up your False self, Find your True Self and unleash your Unique Self.

  • 44. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 44 What happens to our creativity? Small children have no conception of these values and interact without these limitations. The ego development (socialization) process restricts the natural creativity of our thinking potential by automatically assigning value judgements of good, bad, right, wrong, proper, improper, ugly, beautiful. We accept these judgements so we can fit in.

  • 48. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 48 Soul Creativity Creativity at the soul level involves guidance from the unconscious quantum mind and investigation and verification by the conscious mind. 1. Preparation: Gather facts, read and think, think, think,….think. 2. Incubation: Relax, sleep, rest, leave the question behind. 3. Insight or synchronicity: Inspiration, Illumination, thought. 4. Investigation and verification: Bring in the conscious mind.
  • 49. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 49 Here is the Proof Longitudinal Perspective Studies The Harvard Grant Study of Social Adjustments began in 1938 and continues to this day—75 years later. The participants who are left over 90 years of age. The purpose of the Grant Study, as it is popularly known, was to learn something about the conditions that promote optimum health by following 268 men—all Harvard graduates—throughout their lives. The Stanford Terman Study of Gifted Children (men and women) began in 1920 and finished in 2011.
  • 50. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 50 Longitudinal Perspective Studies George Vaillant was Study Director of the Grant study from 1972 to 2005 and continues to be involved today. He states: “The seventy-five years and twenty million dollars expended on the Grant Study points, at least to me, leads to a straightforward conclusion: “Happiness is love. Full stop.” … Love conquers all.” George Vaillant, Adaptation to Life
  • 51. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 51 Other Studies Barbara L. Fredrickson Director of the Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill calls love the “supreme emotion.” She states: … [love] is perhaps the most essential emotional experience for thriving and health. Your body was designed to harness this power—to live off it. … love is far more ubiquitous than you ever thought possible for the simple fact that love is connection. Barbara Fredrikson, Love 2.0.
  • 52. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 52 Longitudinal Perspective Studies George Vaillant speaking of the Terman Study states: In midlife creative women were more likely to have had activities outside the home; at 60 they were more likely to express joy in living. … creative women were twice as likely as less creative women to manifest “successful aging.” Among the 20 most creative women were 9 who achieved their greatest public success after the age of 60. George Vaillant, The Wisdom of the Ego
  • 53. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 53 Longitudinal Perspective Studies George Vaillant speaking of the Terman Study states: Like creativity in the Terman women, creativity in the College men (Grant Study) was associated with successful aging. To summarize … creativity was positively correlated with generativity, sublimation, and altruism. George Vaillant, The Wisdom of the Ego
  • 54. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 54 My Experience I am 70 years old and I have never been more creative or happy in my life. When I am in soul consciousness, especially when I am working on a new book, my whole life moves into a state of flow where “downloads” and synchronicities are anticipated daily events.

  • 57. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 58 Creativity consists of making discontinuous quantum leaps into a nonlocal domain of pure potentiality, that is not accessible to the thinking ego. Amit Goswami, Quantum Creativity A Physicist’s Perception
  • 58. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 59 It has been my experience that hundreds of synchronicities go into the writing of one book. Each one a creative act of discontinuity given by grace and received with joy. The joy of creativity lies in the appreciation of the discontinuity, which confirms my connection to my soul. Richard Barrett My Experience
  • 59. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures. www.valuescentre.com 60 Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. William H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition, (London: Dent), 1951. Synchronicity in Action
