Now…if you have read my blog recently, you will see that I AM experiencing kind of magical spiritual growth and I hope you as well will experience the same spiritual growth as you read of my journey! I have written about really understanding WHO I AM (Terri Newlon – Djwhal Khul – “I Am All That I Am ” – 24 October 2014, and also about how that knowledge has provided me with knowing why I AM here…my mission on Earth, (Blossom Goodchild – 25 October 2014).
Oh, but now it gets even better…I’ve been wondering, how do I get the “old me”, the ego-driven “cindy” out of the way in order to continue my path into existing with higher vibrations (love)? And…in a syncronistic fashion, here comes another article addressing that very question! This article is from Sophia Love who details rather specifically HOW to remove my (your) ego from the driver’s seat of living.
Hmmm. Are all the tremendous spiritual changes due to all those darn solar flares we’ve been having lately? Stranger things have happened! At any rate, please read this article, apply to yourself, and…
Enjoy!
“ So, how do I get out of my own way AND then stay out of the way????”
Hi!
In 17 words you have summarized the angst of humanity. Thank you!
Once we wake up, well, we first of all notice that there is an “I” (ego) that is in the way. Next, we begin to see that he or she is relentless and not very helpful.
Sort of like a 3 year old that never grows up, or a puppy. Have you ever had a puppy that grew up? Actually, that answer would have to be “no” because when you sign up for raising a dog, you must understand right off the bat that the dog may advance in years, but basically will always hold the heart and exuberance of a puppy. You can “domesticate” an animal, but you can’t alter its core. It is like that with our ego self. Our ego self is only interested in maintaining the status-quo. This equilibrium was set when you were very young, and you didn’t know any better.
Lets try, in 17 ways, to “get out of our own way”, and stay there.
- Take note of familiar emotional reactions when they occur.
- Pay attention to your thinking “this always happens to me”.
- Hone in on your physical response at such times.
- Is there a tightening, a heat rush, a rapid pulse? How do you feel?
- What do you do next at such moments?
- Is this response successful (do you get what you desire)?
- If you did, you wouldn’t be reading this far!! Accept that its not working.
- Now – Resist.
- Resist the entitlement.
- Resist being right.
- Resist having an opinion about anyone else or any other action.
- Resist voicing judgment.
- Resist ridicule, insults, “knowing better”, “I told you so”, “you’ll get yours”.
- Resist self pity, depression, feeling “justified” in your misery.
- Stop making excuses.
- See that NOTHING is worth losing your self love over. None of it matters.
- Allow the ego self to be absorbed. Let it in. Love it. Give it room to grow into the Heart Self. This is who you are, and once you show up here, nothing can get in your way.
It is not easy, but it is oh so worth it.
Good luck,
~Sophia
