Challenges of the Ego’s Journey November 29, 2016

The ego’s journey is one of being in constant correction mode, continually shifting, and changing course; evaluating the thoughts and feelings of others, and always seeking recognition, attention and validation. This way of traveling through life compromises the ability of the soul to arise and truly design the life you were meant to live. The journey of constantly checking and evaluating the responses, opinions, thoughts and feelings from others has diminished the ability of human beings to hear their own inner guidance.

Always seeking outside for validation requires hyper-vigilance and demands feedback from others rather than your own inner Divine guidance. This pathway, a method for survival, is taught unconsciously to the children and it continues through generations. Breaking out of this pattern of hyper-vigilance requires commitment and focus to the present, the only time and place that exists. By alignment with the power of love you are tapping into the wellspring of creativity and possibility, rather than the reactions and opinions of others.

Blaming others for your misfortunes, disappointment and pain, is the basis of the entrapment and the very structure of society at this time in history. This instinct to blame others keeps one in the constant state of victimhood, increasing feelings of fear and helplessness. The attack on others triggers a counter-attack, locking everyone involved in an ever-escalating web of reaction and counter-reaction, occurring at all levels and including wars between states and nations. When we fail to connect to our own power of internal energy, fueled from within, we are then dependent on external sources for our sustenance and we find ourselves compromising values and ethics to maintain our connection and sense of validation, reassurance, and power from others.

Because of the attention and criticism received in this manner of interacting, we have also developed deep wounds and injuries that, although they are emotional, still create extreme pain. Pain demands our attention and forces us to protect and cover up the injuries so they might not be exposed to further damage. The need to protect the wounds results in defenses and attacks on others to protect ourselves and our loved ones. But t when does the defense become an offense? When are we the perpetrator and when are we the perpetrated upon? This dilemma has been carried on for centuries locking us in a stalemate of opposite sides. This cannot be sustained because the pressure felt by so many will finally burst, much like the pressure of a shoelace pulling too tightly from both sides of the same shoe.

The aftermath of the election will continue to surprise everyone. Unforeseen events are in the works and unexpected departures will open the door for creating a new way of being–a fresh and vibrant, more compassionate world. Creating a world of cooperation and respect, both at home and around the world, is really the dream of everyone here at this time, even if they don’t know it. The pain and suffering leading to this cataclysmic time has been necessary to bring about the worldwide changes that have been promised through the centuries. Be of good cheer and expect the coming times to be filled with accelerated growth in all areas– economic, financial, ecological, intellectual, scientific—an era of  new discoveries and innovation.  The results will be dazzling, exceeding the imaginative powers presently available to you and creating endless possibilities for a new world!
