The deeper we go within, the greater the opportunity to reconcile our relationship with our ego and if I didn’t loose you with that word alone, there was probably an cringed inward because ‘ego’ has been used to criticize and judge your integrity and personality.
So, let’s for a moment, remove our judgement and refer to ego with neutrality: It’s part of the human design, we all have one, we’re not meant to get rid of it, it’s not ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but it is perhaps like a misinformed child that needs to be updated as we evolve.
The way the ego updates is by seeing what has held it from growth: the limitations that our mind holds, how we identify, the beliefs we’ve picked-up and the fears we’ve developed because of them.
If you can remind yourself that Awareness alone begins a shift from unconscious to conscious, the rest of the journey is how lovingly you can practice making choices from each new state of Awareness.
Initially, when our Spiritual Ego is on board, it’s sort of “down for the cause”. There’s an inward cooperation with an expectation of if I do this work long enough, I’ll become worthy. (Key words “become worthy”)This seems to be the trouble with taking the course of ‘healing’. There’s always something else that prevents you from accepting you’re already enough and that’s how the motive to heal ends up trapping you- It’s an intelligent way that your mind justifies needing to be fixed. As long as you’re stuck on fixing yourself, you’re always going to come up short.
Love has a different approach. It says,
I accept you as you are.
I choose you as you are.
You’re enough for me as you are.
You are worthy as you are.
I’m willing to love you as you are.
People say, “It can’t be that easy” and I say, “It’s not that easy but it is that simple.”
