Hello Friends,
Lately, we have been having many discussions about how ego tends to be a main topic of focus in these emails. Most of today’s email will focus on this subject. Initially, we tend to think that ego is negative, but this is not necessarily so. Think of how some breeds of dogs such as pit bulls or dobermanns get bad reputations, but these dogs are not necessarily “bad” per se. They have just been trained to use the strengths of their breed for poor intentions. Such as it is with the ego. Unhealthy egos are not necessarily bad, they have just had a fair amount of pain experienced, and no guidance on how to deal with its pain in a productive manner.
I find it helpful to think of ego as a small child. Children often misbehave, as our egos tend to do from time to time. However, when a child makes a mistake, we lovingly teach them to learn from their mistakes and to improve as a human being. So, I believe the ego can be taught to be respectful, to have proper boundaries, to be loving, and to be concerned with the welfare of others. But we cannot teach it these lessons if we are unaware that our ego and its responses are NOT US. Just like a car is not us when we are driving inside it, our ego is not us when we are living on Earth. Our awareness is within our bodies, just as a driver is within a car. In other words, our ego is a package deal that comes with our bodies. It is unavoidable.
So, when we can observe our behavior and see our ego taking control of our behavior, often through overreaction, under-reaction, or reacting unconsciously, we hopefully can understand that this is our ego acting out, and not necessarily us. Once we realize that we are manifesting behavior that is not loved-based, then we can begin to work on changing our actions. We can then learn to work with ourselves and our egos to have more loving and productive behavior in our lives.
From the Guides
GUIDANCE: No need to speak of the joy and bliss you will now walk through life with. Rather, embody this joy by your actions. Always louder than words, yes? So, embrace the joy such that it will be impossible to not be recognized by others for what your true nature is. Except for the very, very low vibration beings. Let their protests crumble and blow away in the wind like dried clay. Enjoy the light, embody the light. Be joyful and kind to all. If only in your energetic intentions and projection of your energy field.
No need for ego’s influence any longer. You will feel it, but it most often will be an insignificant awareness. Like a light breeze across your face. Simply acknowledge, “Oh, there that is” and let it go with humor and grace. Understand how petty and unproductive ego can be. There are consequences to all actions. Is it worth it to let ego control? Just like you realized alcohol consumption has consequences that you no longer were willing to accept, this will be much easier now that you understand the parallels in the energy patterns of behavior.
Enjoy the feeling of love coursing through your whole body. Just project love and acceptance. When confronted with negative energy and thoughts, just sit in presence with compassion and non-judgment. You don’t have to say anything. Just emit love toward their projected misconceptions, which will then become more apparent to them. Do not attach to any negativity and let it blow out the door like the wind. Out and gone from your energy field and awareness.
Follow your instinct to be clear and true in your thoughts and actions. Speak your truth with kindness and compassion even when it may be experienced by others as an uncomfortable truth. No worries, that is their dharma, not your problem. Do not say these truths with judgment and the need to be right. Just simply state the facts without a whole lot of attachment to the absoluteness of the truth. Say it with love, as you know how difficult it may be for the other to accept. Project white light as you speak your truths.
Walk in the White Light! In your Home vibration all day long. Much love and peace in your heart for your fellow man. You harbor no resentments and love and respect all, particularly when they certainly do not appear to deserve it. When you do this, it helps begin their soul’s journey to the Light. A true and meaningful act of love. Stay and live in your heart. Keep a main part of your focus there today. Love is energy and energy is love, at the right vibration of course. All the more familiar all the time, would you not agree?
SCOTT: Hopefully yes, my self-doubts and lack of trust creep in and I am not always sure that I am not making this up. I have a deep desire to overcome this. It feels wonderful when I connect to the divine and then my ego slips in and thinks “is this too good to be true?”
GUIDANCE: The vibration will continue to get louder and deeper and therefore easier to connect with. Your trust will build starting RIGHT now! Today will cement your confidence. Stay in Love’s white light and calmness.
Ego is a very insidious instinct indeed! A voracious child! Not evil in its intentions, only a deep hunger for the next pleasure experience to distract from its pain and deep wounds. Always looking to distract focus. Its next fix. Wanting to be in control of that fix. Not willing to let go of the wheel. Willing to “cut its nose off in spite of its face” or “go down swinging being right instead of compromising.” Sound familiar? Now you understand why this behavior in others pisses you off. What you will not accept in yourself, you will not accept in others. Time to embrace that component and release it with love. Ego will always attempt to distract. Using fear in more and more subtle forms. Making the fear a reality, when the reality is that there is no reason to fear. This is staying in control. Release this need for control and very real happiness and joy arrive. Time to let go, my beautiful son, Man of clearing heart and intentions. Walk in the white light and continue to follow the path.
Hi everyone, Cindy here…Ego has been a frequent topic in our sessions, so you’ll see it come up often in Scott’s writings and channeling sessions. It’s never fun when it comes up, but with greater awareness of when my ego takes control, I don’t get the perverse pleasure of feeling right, that self-satisfaction. Now that I’m keen to my ego’s ways, there’s none of that anymore. I am slowly getting quicker in recognizing it and then doing the work to correct my behavior, to return to love. Forgiving myself is key. It’s almost harder for me to forgive myself than to forgive another. It is about acts of “Self-Love,” and we must always work to remember that.
We recognize and honor God’s Great Love within you,
Cindy & Scott
