We’ve all heard about doing a Social Media Detox or taking a break from Social Media, as if it will cure us of our insatiable desire for it. But the truth is, the problem is not Social Media, the problem is our Egotistical Programmed Mind that has an allegiance to our human self, rather than The Divine.
My dear friend lost her 17 year old son a month ago in a horrific car accident! The other day she told me; “I miss my son, but I refuse to be desperate for anything but God!”
It was in that moment I realized that therein lies our problem. Our ego has us desperate for: Instant Gratification, Money, Success, Popularity, Power, Acceptance, Material Possessions, etc. etc. etc. Causing us to believe these bring happiness.
But the truth is; that only dissolving the ego, so that we can know our True Self in The Divine, along with being desperate for The Divine, is peace, joy and happiness.
Most people don’t know that our ego hides our True Self from us and it’s only in knowing and living as the True Self, that we feel confident, certain and secure.
I think the hardest decision and then action to take in this life, is to let go of the ego. After all, the ego is something we’ve been completely unaware of, and therefore have identified with. This is how it’s controlled our life. In fact we’ve depended on it to feel special and protect us. Which has left us fearful, angry, anxious, stressed and depressed, causing us to have symptoms in our body.
Many people are tired of being sick and tired, they are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to: heal, grow and transform. Therefore they are committing to being consistently aware of the Egotistical Programmed Mind. Then they are setting an intention to heal the trauma that caused it, along with living a very self controlled/self disciplined life, by surrendering their egotistical wants, feelings and desires to this Inner Guidance that we all have.
How Do We Do This?
Simply start paying attention to what you are feeling!
Then when you notice you are not at peace or feeling stressed and anxious, ask yourself some questions?
What am I feeling?
Why am I feeling this or what was I thinking?
Where is this coming from? *Hint: It’s the Egotistical Programmed Mind!
What do I need to do about this?
What we also need to do, is to start processing everything that bothers us! I call this processing “Spiritual Heart Surgery!”
Write out the situation:
Write out how it’s affecting you:
Tap into your Inner Guidance and ask for the truth about this situation, yourself and the other person! *Note: The Ego will always answer first. Push it’s negative answers away and go a little deeper, knowing the answer is within you, because The Divine is within you! Write out whatever comes to you:
With this truth decide what you need to do: Forgive, Let go, Have a conversation, etc.
What I’m proposing to you isn’t some crazy concept that I’ve developed, but it is what I’ve done to dissolve my ego and what I’m using to help others get free.
About a month ago I met with a 15 year teenager who was diagnosed with O.C.D. and therapy wasn’t helping. At our first session I taught them what they Truly are, how their Egotistical Programmed Mind was created by painful experiences and trauma, along with how to start being aware of the ego. A week later I checked in on them and asked them; what percentage of the day are they at peace. They said; “Before I met you, maybe 5%, now I’m at about 40%! THIS WORKS!
As we set an intention to live in awareness of the Egotistical Programmed Mind, process it’s thoughts that create negative feelings/emotions, along with making an effort to know The Divine and follow their guidance, we awaken to what we Truly are and live an abundant life.
