Before evolution, at one point in our lives we were hunters and gatherers. Because of that we needed the ego to protect us from harm and to help us find food. The ego is still part of us now, even though we have evolved. But the ego has now taken on a role that works against our welfare instead of for us.
The unfunctional ego believes that it is separate from everything and everyone. For example we all know that person who has a dominating ego which leaves them wanting to be more powerful, wealthier, better than others etc. What does this mean? For the wounded egoic self it means living in constant FEAR and being a “victim” that is not able to overcome life challenges. The ego self pretends To be who we are, but it is not who we really are. We are first and foremost a soul having a human experience.
The ego's favourite tool to keep us under its influence is FEAR. So if you are fearful at this moment please understand that is your ego not you. When we recognize our own egos in ourselves we can break the identification so that it is no longer us and vice versa. In doing this, we can then see beyond the ego in others and it can give us more compassion, understanding and empathy.
Before we come to understand who we are as our own person based on our own truths - we have yet to be living from our true self. We are merely existing based on other peoples beliefs, opinions, experiences, theories, hearsay, cultural norms, society conditioning, programming and early influences in life.
How can we start to recognize the egos voice?
In order to break free from our ego, you have to be aware of when and how it is operating in our lives. For most of us, our egos are working around the clock. Once we can recognize the ego for what it is and what it is doing- then we have already broken away from the identification of our ego self. The ego self never goes away. I want to reiterate this over and over again. The point is not for the ego to go away, but rather to quiet it down the mind and be the main awareness: over the ego. When ego starts to get weaker, it has less control over our thoughts, emotions and actions.
Tips to keep you on track with your ego:
Create positive thoughts and affirmations: I am bliss, peaceful, bountiful, inner peace. These pure thoughts leave the ego behind. The more you put this into practice, the more your soul will shine.
Keep reminding yourself that you are a soul having a human experience. This will allow your pure consciousness within you to emerge and shine!
Rewire your brain to look for the good in things vs the bad. When we train the mind to maintain a positive consciousness, we are able to ground in that positivity even when things aren’t going right at the time being. When we have developed this discipline, we are able to better pick ourselves up and carry on with our lives in a positive direction.
Spend your time and energy surrounded by people who are also interested in self growth and realisation. We are who we surround ourselves with. Choose the company you keep wisley!
Going through a spiritual awakening?
During an awakening, it may be useful to have some professional guidance: someone who can confidently, patiently and without judgement help us, step by step through the healing process. If you are in need of someone to talk with about triggers, past trauma, childhood wounds or repressed emotions. I am available for online booking please contact me directly at: fromanotherealm@gmail.com .
Face whatever is holding you back head on and it no longer has power over you, you have power over it! Awareness and anything can't co exist. Awareness is more powerful than your ego, your emotions, your thoughts and your feelings. Awareness is what gets you back home to your soul purpose.
You can use your pain and turn it into power. If you are willing to work on where your pain comes from, the lesson to be learned and turn your knowledge into action, you can use your suffering to turn you into a stronger and wiser person! I look forward to working with you on your spiritual journey.
Love & Light,
Namaste ~ Paulina 🙏
