Then, as the sound vibrations within the sand particles matched that of the sound vibrations generated by the speakers, or you could say when sand passed through that energy frequency barrier, the sand particles suddenly arranged themselves into new and even more intricate patterns. As above, so below. When you make major leaps in consciousness, rapid advancement could result in a similar evolutionary step for yourself. Just as sound creates more complex patterns as its vibrational rates are increased, so it is with spiritual growth which generates more complex activations in one's consciousness, opening up various abilities. One's ego is actually a safety mechanism during one's spiritual evolution and growth.
Some people think ego has to be eliminated for spiritual growth.
That is a impossibility, for your ego is part of you. The ego is there to warn you of various things, it plays memory tapes for you and remember there have been times in everyone's lives that ego seemed to be their only friend. Ego can be a great help in spiritual growth because it is a connection to your higher states of consciousness when it is in a state of equanimity. Where one becomes unattached to the outcome of events around them, when one can view all events in their life as Blessons, when one gives thanks for all events or Blessons in one's life, then the ego can rest. This process allows one easier and quicker access to one's abilities and powers.
