Overcoming ego resistance

I believe the ego is to be respected and worked with. The ego is a vital and necessary part of what we call “self” and we’d never want to loose it.  Ego is the decider that keeps us aligned with reality. If we’re thinking to jump off a 3 story building, the ego is what stops us. If we want to believe something, but find it difficult, the ego is what holds us back while demanding more evidence before it decides our thought is believable.

Our ego has developed a personal standard for declaring what is truth. It did this by considering all we have previously decided was true of reality. Therefore each individuals ego possesses its own challenges if we’re wanting to make a change in our lives.

WE all carry baggage. It’s formed from all the events and value assessments we have heretofore perceived as experiences.  Our reality reflects all that we have observed and concluded of those perceptions.

When you find yourself resisting inspired change, notice what the ego is clinging to as truth and reality. Notice the limiting beliefs it clings to. These are what’s limiting you and holding you back.  These are what must be replaced. Your mission, should you truly want life change is to first change those limiting beliefs.  This is how you should interpret Eckhart’s “observing the ego in yourself”.

While we can use hypnosis, trance, or even trance inducing Christian worship to bypass ego and find inner holy spirit guidance within (as Eckhart says, go beyond it ), Ultimately the ego must accept the reforming truths as reality or the ego will continue with resistance and hindering the new “fuller truth centered life” from manifesting it’s fruit.

Keeping the ego ignorant is what perpetuates resistance. Ego ignorance holds back the ego which needs rational justifications before it can accept a new truth and modify it’s view of reality.

Manifesting Change

Your view of reality must change before the experience of that view of reality manifests. Ignorance causes the ego to resist belief change and consequently keeps us attracting only what we already believe. The answer to overcoming ego ignorance is knowledge which comes from education and the resulting wisdom born from the experience of its application.

You have heard, If you want a spirit centered life, you must not put down the ego. That is foolishness, because we only experience physical life through the ego. Only the ego self is focused to experience the mental constructs of what we call our physical universe. The Physical reality we each create is our ego’s reality.

Rather I say you must understand the egos importance to having a quality life experience. An “ignorant” ego needs only to be given the loving consideration you would give to a young child that you watch learning self identification. While everything may at first be I, I, and I, you know that with more exposure, the child will learn to consider others as self realization is enhanced and greater wisdom developed through interactive integration with the family and physical environment.

We parents don’t discipline the child or take selfish behavior too seriously at age 2. Rather, we permit and work to teach the ego, as a child, to integrate and cooperate with the inner holy spirit and it’s life experience changing inspiring truths like the child is taught to integrate with others of its physical environment in early childhood.

The holy spirit already communicates words of life and value enhancing inspiration to the ego. We need only help the ego recognize and permit the reception or realization of such and the mind is renewed and revitalized.

Through fostering ego exposure to inner self wisdom, the ego naturally recognizes such realizations. It is within it’s nature to be inquisitive and to give focused attention to everything it believes it pertainent and benificial. Ego always desires to understand and find new ideas that add value fulfillment to our physical experience. These words, if realized as believed are further evidence for recognizing the ego is ready and receptive to new inner being formed realizations.

With new physical life enhancing realizations, we create the beliefs that fuel the emotional expectations that bring our desired experiences to life. I believe meditation, trance, hypnosis, and even some forms of worship hold important keys to giving our ego greater exposure to inner communication and development of an experience enhanced integrated reality.

These are NOT new  ideas, see Joshua 1:8, Romans 12:2 and Eph 4:23
