“Waking up.” What is that? You hear a lot about that these days…just what does “waking up” mean? Hmm…to me, waking up is becoming aware and that means gaining awareness of perhaps many levels involved in this like. Wait! isn’t that kind of indicative of multidimensionality?
That’s right, as you me, or anyone in humanity “wakes up” to certain facets of this life, our multidimensionality emerges and that is what spirituality is all about…living on a higher, more developed plane of life mentally, physically and spiritually. Let look at some examples of waking up.
1. You suddenly become aware of all the financial factors currently in place that keep you broke with bills to pay. Your paycheck just doesn’t seem to go as far these days. Your research shows a very few have a LOT of money, while the masses get poorer and poorer due to banking policies (compound interest on loans called usury). This is mental waking up.
2. Traditional medicine doesn’t work. Physicians are now trained almost solely on how to dispense pharmaceuticals…which cost money you may not have. This, your medical conditions persist and/or worsen with no relief…either financial or medical. So, you turn to alternative medicine and learn about herbs, vitamins, and minerals that promote health and start to recover. This is physical waking up.
3. The continual question arises…why? Why are we here,what is life all about? Your study to answer these internal questions leads you to realize there is a lot more to life than society teaches, than the billboards advertise, than television/movies reveal. Now you start to explore…yourself. This is spiritual waking up.
What stands in the way of all forms of waking up? Wanting to keep things just the way they are. And who can that be attributed to…your ego. Want to learn more about how the ego can control you and keep you from learning the truth? Sophia Love has written an excellent article all about the ego that fights change because change does not allow the ego to be in control. Please read this article, think about waking up, and…
Enjoy!
We are no longer easily manipulated. It is one thing though, to live with awareness of forces outside of ourselves to control us. It is quite another to acknowledge the internal effort going on 24/7. This is the voice of our addictions – the ego.Being human, you’ve no choice but to have an ego. It’s the part of you talking about what is going on for you. It voices emotion, tells you what to think, explains what it is your eyes are looking at and feeds you with constant conversation. It does this at your command. It began when you were an infant, while you were adjusting to this body and this “reality”. It has not stopped.
This is how it does its “job”:
Your ego whispers expectations.
Expectations are the blueprints for beliefs.
Beliefs are the ink you use to draw your “reality”.
Once on paper, “solid” – you have a hard time disbelieving its “truth”.
Yet, truly, your “reality” wouldn’t be there if you didn’t expect it to show up that way. (see #1)
Your ego whispers again, “this is what to expect”.
Satisfying our expectations feels great. Fulfillment, control and a sense of “I got this” all accompany that feeling. This is how we understand our world. We can move on now and learn more, building on what we already “know”; solidifying our ego.
Quantum physics tells us there is no such thing as objectivity. The result is determined by the minds of the men or women watching. We are creating our world, literally and figuratively.
That quiet voice constantly chattering inside your head holds the conductor’s baton. What is he or she orchestrating? Your ego is giving voice, all day long, to whatever emotional addictions you have. These keep you focused on this physical world and very much HERE – IN 3D. Your ego is all about your body and it’s senses.
What are emotional addictions?
sadness
anger
self-pity
fear
low-self worth
entitlement
overwhelm
hurt
shock
insult
mistrust
happiness
wonder
excitement
surprise
affection
attention
joy
winning
competition
power, etc…
These are the driving forces beneath the expectations set by your internal voice. Pick your favorite or most familiar. For sure its the same one that shows up over and over in your life.
If you desire a different reality, you’ll have to alter your expectations. To do this – you’ll need to first recognize them, second accept them and third absorb them – all the while creating some new ones to replace them.
Start by catching them. Thoughts that look like “Here he goes again”, “ I always look ___”, “I knew she would say that “, “ How dare he make me look like ___”, “ I knew I would ___ again” – all come from ego.
Your ego does not speak truth. Your ego is however, convincing you that it does. Just as you’ve become aware of the manipulation from Mass Media, it’s time to recognize what’s going on internally. Understand this won’t be easy. I do not use the term “addiction” lightly. Emotional addictions have the equivalent power of heroin to control us and demand to be fed.
There will be serious withdrawal, denial and set backs. All of that will be worth it for the end result – control and conscious creation of every part of your life. You will demonstrate pure power once you Master this ego of yours. All things are possible with intent and belief. Expect success and you’ll find it every time. You came for this work. You are built for this, were chosen and chose to be here right now.
You are the One you’ve been waiting for.
