My daughter and I love a cabin in the woods in Myrtle Beach.Your favorite space doesn’t have to be extravagant, expensive, or traditional.Sometimes it just means going to the places that make us feel good.

From it’s headquarters deep in our subconscious Ego magnetizes and manifests our nightmeres.It fabricates testimony to our guilt and guile finding ways to shame and humiliate us, to taunt and ridicule us at every turn~Marianne Williamson
Ego needs to transcend. Through our days and nights if we don’t have something to look to for our strength, then our ego will feel lost and alone.We better have our spiritual sword and shields ready to make our way in the world.
I believe this is why spirituality is needed in our lives.
We need to have something to lift us raising our awareness, helping us to find the missing pieces of our lives.
The emptiness in our soul needs to be filled.
If we don’t fill these delicate parts with something positive then ego will do that for us in it’s irrational ways.
Proverbs 29:18 says where there is no vision the people will perish.What is your vision?
Today, because we are standing face to face with our fears, it is best to
find something that makes sense in your world and gives you peace.
We have our technology, but that is not always what our spirit needs.
Actually , it is a drain and we need to find balance with it.
We need to find comfort.
Otherwise, this part of our psyche called the ego will adjust to whatever it is presented with.
It will rotate on continuous play until we hear the message.
Of coarse, we may have more “control” than some but we all have our weakness’s and our blind spots where anything can happen so keep your spiritual tools close at hand because when the storms surface (as they will) you will need help.
What are ways to transcend ego?
-Find a purpose and a passion:
Art, writing, music, photography or any of the healing arts such massage, reiki, and acupuncture.
-Work for a volunteer organization at least one day a week to start.
-Help the sick, elderly, children, abused, handicapped and many, many others.
-If you can’t help donate money to organizations who need help.
-Spiritual Wellness:
When we take a leap and do this for ourselves, our lives will take off in
a whole new direction. We will find ourselves in a place of deep peace and bliss no matter what happens. Deepak Chopra has said we need to look to self or our spirit for inner peace. Rather than looking outwardly which is called “object referral.” We need somewhere to put our attention so the ego will feel safe. Ego needs a way to make sense of the world.
We can wrap our arms around ego and let it know it is safe when we change our course of direction and find purpose, meaning, and gratitude.We will understand the upheavals and have an instant miracle as A Course In Miracles says.
When we our create a life of purpose starting with one day a week we can redirect ego into a place of truth.The false ideas will fall off gradually.
For instance,
I have work I do with senior citizens. If I did not have this service work I would work with Meals on Wheels.I love the time I spend with the elderly because I see the loneliness and pain in the eyes of someone who is aging. I know I can help them with their loneliness.Through the wisdom of their aging I feel strength, hope, compassion, understanding, and more.
I receive from them.
It is very humbling.It transforms me. It sends me on my way. This version of my self-the part of me that see’s truth from my work in humility is a shift in my spirit.I realized it is something I enjoyed doing since I was younger and did this kind of work in college.
This service work helps me see life from a very real perspective.
All the blinders are removed.Mind has shifted from seeking outwardly to transforming inwardly and asking something greater than myself what we I can do to make someone else see the light in their own lives.
Each moment becomes very real.
These moments become a chance to , forgive myself , forgive others, stay grounded, release fear and negative emotions, seek to help others more often, open my heart, feel a new lease on life, be an instrument of peace and joy, look to spirit, be willing to see life on a whole new level.
You could call this new frame of reference mind receives “A Gift.”
Will you personally feel all this when you decide to reshape your belief system?
Of coarse!
It might take some time but eventually the light in your soul that has always been there will brighten.We are all born with an ego.Learning how to bypass it’s confused ways are our responsibility. If you have doubts that you can do this simple task or question why you should do this simple task I can let you know that once you have tried this new way called transcending ego you will never look back.
It is a privilege and a secret to the happiness of many.
Namaste,
Deborah
