Not sure how much I can help. I will try to write a longer article response, but I am not sure when I can do that. For now, here are 2 thoughts:

Are you willing to become your Soul self? See: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/the-outer-ego-the-inner-ego-ef12d6ad1501?sk=1dd757d1f236b83d04e58768ced07eb2
