Synopsis

MY EGO, MY HIGHER POWER, And I presents a new model of the human psyche which will help you find the True, Authentic Self you really are, and from that viewpoint make sense of the apparently increasing ego madness of the world we all live in. According to Dr. Hirschfield s model, our psyche consists of three interrelated components : the ego, the Higher Power or God or Spirit, and our individual True Self which he calls I . The ego is the part we are most familiar with because it has largely taken control of our psyche, and over eons we have become addicted to it. The Higher Power is the Infinite Energy Being who created all of us as perfect, spiritual, energetic Souls and continues to give us Its unlimited goodness throughout eternity. The I is our True Individual Self who originally was the only inhabitant of our Soul, but at some point created an ego to individually identify each one of us more distinctly. In Part II of the book, Dr. Hirschfield delineates a path of transformation which leads to gradual, voluntary surrender of our ego toward the goal of recognizing our real identity as the True, Loving Self we have always been. For most of us, our True Self is eclipsed by our ego s mad masquerade. This path involves recognizing our ego and understanding its nefarious ways; accepting the infinite goodness God gave each of our I s within our Souls; and learning to identify with this I part of us to reclaim the gift of free will God gave us. Then, as our True Self, I , we heal every negative aspect of our ego one thought, one belief, and one attitude at a time. Not an easy task, but doable with patience, gentle perseverance, and growing love especially with the caring help of the Higher Power within and fellow seekers in mutual and self-help fellowships of the Spirit. By walking this path in our own way and our own time, we find within ourselves what we tend to seek in the external world: Peace, love, freedom, and joy.

Review

This book is simply profound! It is the clearest, most easily understood description of the individual's spiritual journey that I have ever read... and I have read a lot! It helps one understand what he or she is going through and why. Thank you Jerry Hirschfield. --Susan Forrester , La Selva Beach, California via the Internet
