An Ego Is Never Destroyed Another question was whether an Ego is ever destroyed. Richard answered that an Ego once created is never destroyed. “Ego” means an individualized discrete bundle of God powers which are mental An Ego at creation has all the potential powers and qualities that God has, as well as immortality, but the powers are not yet developed. The purpose of life is to develop these mental potentials and at the same time help each other in all ways that are non-interfering and constructive. Whether decarnate or incarnate, an Ego is the same and his existence is continuous. (09-1969) A question arose concerning Richard’s statement that once an Ego is created it is never destroyed. A man suggested the statement was contradictory since lack of destruction would simply lack of creation. Richard said it was important to understand what is meant by “creation of a soul.” He explained how at the progression of the life waves the nutational frequency of each plane of existence is stepped up one octave, that is, doubled. Therefore, the life essence which had vitalized animal life became the essence for human life and was given over to Celestial Intelligence for further refinement. The new human life essence was given all the powers of Mind that God has—unused, untested and undeveloped, but potentially having all the mental ability inherent in God. The human life essence was then divided into halves, male and female, and from this point it was formed into the discreet bundles of mental energy which constitute individual Egos. These Egos have the powers of Mind to become one with God. Once the individual is thus created it is never destroyed. However, if an Ego does not attain Mastership by the end of a life wave, all his Egoic memory is wiped out, and the blanked Ego is held in abeyance until the next creation takes place. It is never destroyed. Memory is one of the powers of Mind and is required to accumulate knowledge. (11-1979)
