How the Ego Tries to Stop the Process of Purification and Healing (1 of 4)

[yinksta121]

This is funny, it comes at a best time because right now im in the transition of detoxifying my character and the ego makes it so hard. constant self loathing and doubt. even though i know im a great being of pure consciousness. it seems to want to hold on to its beliefs. honestly im getting better and better so this helps allot thanx.

@yinksta121 The greatest energy to disarm any obstacle is the energy of Divine Love. Love is the force that creates life, brings two objects together, and dissolves obstructions.

Ultimately our ego seeks the experience of happiness - which is the experience of becoming one with the object of joy. The greatest joy is God / Source.

[ChannelHigherSelf]

@yinksta121 When we can transform our mind to realize that spiritual development is the quest to the greatest happiness, then the ego will begin to comply and offer less resistance.

Never fight against the ego. It will create great suffering within.

Instead seek to transform the ego. First through the introduction of proper spiritual knowledge. And then through merging the mind into the heart. Love will give the mind what is has been seeking all along - the greatest happiness.

Namaste.

for me now it is believing is seeing. my mind is still seeing is believing. Sex/ Lust was a big issue. any thoughts on sex? The biggest issue for me now is knowing what i want, then again i am told to embrace the unknown. its an annoying paradox because knowing what i want in future based thought as apose to experiencing what i enjoy in now terms, seem to be my conflict area. also interaction. the almost constant pausing and assessing the conversation.

Hold on, ego is on the way! Wut if I allow???

10 years ago I tried ecstasy for a while and then I started to become very shaky and nervous. I guess it was my egos reaction to those very strong experiences (they were really really strong for me). I guess the ego structure felt offended, am I right?

[ChannelHigherSelf]

@nir8vana  It is likely that the chemicals you ingest caused this reaction in your body.

[nir8vana]

@ChannelHigherSelf Ok, so my habit of interpreting everything, that is the ego...

[ChannelHigherSelf]

@nir8vana Yes, audible thought is one expression of the ego.

i am aware here-

my understanding is that with such drugs there can be a denial of true feelings and also not understanding of how to reach such elated states - sadness afterwards.. this can stress your body and consciousness in general.

you can communicate with body cells to find out more of what is occurring.

possibly there are judgements against self and sub conscious fears about the drugs which create the resistance which may not have occurred if you had no info about the subject in advance

Lincoln, what we focus the conscious awareness that we are on becomes the imediate experience. How do we place focus back on our self. Awareness aware of awareness. Is it the stillness between all forms that we focus on to know self? Also is that why a mirror upon a mirror cast a look into infinity

[Thaddeus088]

Great video Lincoln. I greatly admire your commitment to make video's.

I have a question regarding myself. I am jobless and living with my parents currently, but i do not have the desire to be out searching for work. Rather, I feel that i am doing right by staying at home doing daily meditations and yoga. I am being pushed by my parents constantly to work, and i would like to continue to work with my concentration and connection to my higher self. Do you have any suggestions?

@Thaddeus088 We are all living in a world and must learn how to live in this world in harmony with ourself and others. I understand your strong desire for spiritual progress, just be sure that you are not acting in a selfish way. You will know this by how you feel inside. The mind can easily justify and defend our actions, but our Heart knows the truth. Look within and have the strength and confidence to follow what you know to be right. Blessings and Love.

Then again, I may completely misunderstand the lesson here and that too is fine, as long as we continue the journey. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. May the Sun light your path, may the Earth cool your feet, may the wind share your laugh.

Hello Lincoln. When you use the term "you" as opposed to self-identity, what do you describe? Is it the life-essence within each of us, that which some call the "soul" or "spirit"? I do not believe one can separate the divine spark (spirit) from that which is our self-identity only because I believe our self-identity is in fact our memories - bound within the brain's biological structure governed by natural law, accessed by our mind - gift of the universe. They are co-dependent, subject to fate.

[ChannelHigherSelf]

@CelticValdyr The authentic "you" is Pure Consciousness. Consciousness is the singular experience of ourself as creative energy and intelligence. The energy is experienced as bliss or Love. The personal ego is an artificial structure within the mind that has become identified with and is believed to be our self.  The ego is limited, derives it's energy from the Pure Consciousness and is the root of suffering because the ego upholds the belief of separations. Namaste.

[CelticValdyr]

@ChannelHigherSelf Thank you for your patience and wisdom, Lincoln. I have been applying some of your lessons as best I can during my day, attempting to create my experience with others from a center of peace. I feel this way when alone with the natural world or energized depending on the environment, but have always had difficulty when interacting with my fellow humans. I realize that I had been lost, building upon my ego and absorbing limited sensory input from which I created illusion.

[ChannelHigherSelf]

@CelticValdyr Have patience with yourself and stay devoted to your Spiritual practice. In reality, we are never lost or off our path. We are always progressing towards our own Spiritual Light. It may appear that we have made mistakes but these are not errors, instead they are simply part of the process of learning. Without obstacles, there would be no progress. Without desire, there would be no activity. Without darkness, there would be no Light. All is One. All is God. You are This.
