The Ego Or The Personality Is The False Self And Not Your True Essence!
Socrates once said “Man know thyself”, he wasn't talking about the human body that we see and touch but rather about the magnificent luminous being in the body that drives the body and uses the body like an outer protection while in the physical world.
This inner being is your true essence and divinity
vibrating at the high frequency of light and love and its mostly referred to as
your higher self or authentic self.
Who Are You?
Are
you even aware of who you are at any given moment, at this present moment?
Are
you your thoughts, your habitual thinking or are you simply this great divine
essence which is pure light and love.
You
mostly identify with your thoughts as you making these thoughts which doesn’t
serve you in the long run. You derive your sense of identification or sense of
self from the activities of your mind.
You
believe everything you think is in your best interest and would die if you
stopped thinking.
When
you were growing you formed a mental picture of who you are based upon your
perception and sense of self at that time all based on your personal and
cultural conditioning at that time.
This
mental picture that you took on as yourself became the life sustaining
principle in your life and a ghost or phantom you weren’t even conscious that
existed and was in charge and ruling your life and reality.
What Is The “Ego”?
It
is basically the mind activities created and controlled by the subconscious
mind and kept running by your emotional and mental activities, your thoughts
and emotions.
It
is the unconscious identification with the mind.
The
Ego here means different things to different people, for some its vanity, for
another set it’s who they are and are happy to show off.
But
for the purpose of this article, it is the false self which is created by the
subconscious mind to keep you safe and secured form what it terms “threats”
irrespective of whether its own narratives are right or wrong.
To
the Ego, the present moment does not exist, there is only the past and the
future. There is no here and now.
Soul
which is the divine beingness which is your true identity only lives in the
now. It doesn’t know the past nor the future.
This
reversal of the truth shows how in the “ego mode”, the mind is dysfunctional
and not on the true path of soul.
The
Ego would do anything and everything to keep the past alive so that you remain
caught up in the intricate web of the past filled with illusion of what is not
and what will not be.
It
keeps the future alive in any way it can so that should you escape the past
then you are suddenly caught up in the intricate web of future events that has
not happened yet.
This
it does to ensure its survival and remove the need for you to discover who you
truly are at the core of your being.
It
brings the false sense that “someday when something happens in a particular
way, you will be ok and at peace and everything will be alright”. That is a
great deception as everything happens in the now.
Narratives Of The Mind!
Even
when it seems as if the Ego is concerned with the present moment, because of
its wrong narratives from the false self-created, it misperceives it completely
as it looks from the eyes of the past or the future and never the present which
is truly where you are.
It
reduces the present moment to a means to an end – the end being in the mind
projected future it has conjured up and not necessarily what is before it
thereby losing the truth of what it means to be living in the present moment.
What
it means to just surrender totally to divine essence that created you and in
surrender without trying to change anything or will thing to be as you want
rather than as they should be.
In
that moment, you will see the uniqueness and the unity in all life and you watch
life and nature rearrange itself for your benefit always for the good of the
whole.
You
see how everything shows up for you to create what’s best for you as you learn
the lesson you need to correct the mindset that has created these unwanted
realities that the mind tries to shield you away from acting in the capacity to
shield and protect you.
Observe
your mind and see how it works for a day, you will catch this truth.

life:

you God, for this beautiful day today. Help me to always see your love
reflected in each and every moment, no matter how challenging life may be.
Remind me to always look to my heart for the LESSONS and BLESSINGS in life”.

These words of Inspirations from the enlightened ones
will serve you even more:

wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light
of your own being”.

“Within
you is the light of a thousand suns, within you is unimaginable beauty”.
Robert
Adam
“Don’t
you know it yet, it is your light that illuminates the worlds”.
Rumi
“I
am the light of the world. You are the light of the world”.
Jesus
“Your
heart is the light of the world, don’t cover it with your mind”.

Taking responsibility and recognizing that we cause all
of our core issues is not a reality for most people.
Taking responsibility to see life differently without
justification, judgement and blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would
really help you in the long run.
Every condition, disease or
disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for review and to be dealt
with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the
conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and that’s when we say a
healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.
Every problem preludes a
negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and
guard them jealously.
Nothing can stop you if you
have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move through your
limitations.
‘Let yourself be drawn by
the stronger pull of that which you truly love’
The purpose of life is to
discover who you really are, know and create yourself and experience yourself
as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a part of the divine
source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of the divine.
As long as you don’t or you
refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a challenge that you can
overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will pay you back
handsomely.
A lesson you avoided in a
past life will be forwarded to the current life until you get the lesson right
or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the
last experience until you recognize it.
This is an interactive
universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons and life whether we
want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.
Our fears always surface
when we least expect it and when it does, its better to face the lesson and
conquer it.
You can take back control of
your life and drive it the way you would rather want it to be and have things
and have things the way you want it to be.
It takes taking
responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life because
whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:
1. THOUGHTS
2. WORDS
3. ACTION
Nobody wants to listen to
your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t take you far except
you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and desire to turn it
around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions come in.
If and when you are now
truly ready to take back control and look out for the patterns and lessons in
your life to understand the mind aberrations that are causing your problems and
have taken control of your life.
That’s when the creative
centers open within and you can finally have the tools to help you change the
course of your life and manifest your destiny.
To succeed in life, you must
refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the prevailing situation or
condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to succeed.
The most important qualities
are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and that you understand that
you are entitled to abundance in your life.
You can do anything you want
to and be anything you want to, provided you believe that it is possible.
Victims do not hold that
belief!
So ask yourself – are you a
victim?
Sometimes a little help from
a Therapist or Mental Health Consultant like myself and a host of others can
help guide you on this journey into an amazing life that is yours and yours
only.
