I read your facebook posts everyday. I want to have a better understanding of what you mean by asking the ego to stand down? – Anonymous
When we can consciously create a clear connection with ourselves we feel secure. We feel certain about who we are and what we want for ourselves. We begin to intuitively look inward for the answers to our questions. We become tuned into receiving the answers. We re-establish trust in ourselves in a whole new and yet very familiar way. We now have access to our inner knowing our inner guidance once again.
When we recreate this connection with ourselves for ourselves, we find ourselves basically free from operating from our place of ego. We feel good about asking our ego to stand down.
There is no place for the ego when we are hooked up with/to ourselves because our ego is our safety net, a sense of false certainty that you now, in this moment are no longer in need of. No worries your ego stands on the sidelines waiting for your mostly unconscious invitation to take over. It will kick in in a heartbeat. The difference now is that you can practice choosing when you operate from your place of connection or your place of ego. In time you will come to feel and understand the difference.
I’ll try to put this to good use immediatley.
