Hi %$firstname$% - 

Peacefully Coexist With Our Ego

I want to continue the discussion we began last week about the BEING Principle. This week, I want to talk about our ego and how through learning how it works and what it's purpose is, we can learn to peacefully coexist.

I would like to just briefly touch on a point I made in last week's newsletter. Our egos feel that they must keep everything the way it is if they are to survive. They see a change in our point of view about life as a serious threat to their survival; they will resist any attempt to change the status quo, with all of their considerable might. When we choose a better life we may be totally unaware of our powerful ego's resistance to change. Consequently our dreams are shot down with our ego's "yeah buts", and "what ifs". In order to successfully make this change that we want, we must have a burning desire for this change. To have this burning desire lead to the change we want, it is necessary for us to find the support that we will need to reinforce and encourage us to make it past our weaker moments. Next week's newsletter will look at locating and building the necessary support system for change.

From time to time we all have second thoughts about our decisions to make changes in our lives. In every weak moment, when our thoughts turn away from our vision to consider the possibilities of our failure, our ego will put fear into our hearts. This fear is not something we should run from, but instead face it. When we are feeling this fear, it is our opportunity to see just how in control our ego is in running our lives and now is the time to take back the controls.

That ego-resistance show up as the reasons why we should, couldn't or wouldn't complete our mission. When we originally chose not to go for our goals, we gave ourselves what we thought were good reasons for that decision. We have been justifying our choices with those reasons, ever since. Now that we have made a new decision, those reasons will confront us in the form of mind chatter.

Here are a few examples of what mind chatter might look like after we have made a decision to change.

• But what if I fail?

• I could lose it all!

• I tried before and failed; what makes me thing this time will be different?

• Is this just another one of my pipe dreams?

Our way past the mind chatter and ego's fear of change is not to fight with our ego, but to understand its fears so that we will know how to deal with them. The idea is to get our ego working with us on building our dreams! The idea is get the ego to peacefully coexist!

Part II - The Ego Traps

 "To God Or As God" - Pg. 96

 

Once you've chosen out of the old box with a new BEING commitment, your ego will be using a different tactic. Before you chose, it was trying to convince you there was no way out, but now that you're out, the game will have changed. Your ego will be trying to trick you back into the old box.

 

At this point, you will have made your commitment to a new way of BEING you, but your ego has not yet bought into your new reality. Ego's new strategy will be clever devices intended to get you back into the old way of being. This tactic works, only when you've fallen into the trap of seeing yourself as your ego. **Read the rest of pg 96 for a list of Ego's traps.

Chapter  10 - Who's In Charge

from my book

"So, Why Aren't You Rich?" - Pg. 285

 

You can win at the Game of Life if you will take charge of your ego, treating it as your friend, not your enemy. Understand your ego's need for survival and help it to understand why the proposed change is necessary and desirable. Help it to overcome its fear of change by reviewing the benefits.

 

Your ego will take charge from time to time, and that's okay as long as you remember that you are its boss. My dog sometimes forgets who's leading whom when we go for a walk, and I gently jerk on the leash to remind her.

Chapter 8  - Choosing To Be Rich

from my book

"Being The Solution" -  Pg. 93

 

Choosing not to choose

Even when we think we're not choosing, we're choosing not to choose. When you're reacting to life's circumstances, you're choosing who to be. Each of those choices seems to be about choosing what to DO, when in fact, each and every choice is a decision about who to BE, when faced with that condition in life. Each time you act, react, give in, fight or run, you are choosing a way to BE, either creating new patterns of life or maintaining the old one.

 

Sometimes we don't choose for fear of the consequences, and sometimes we don't choose because we haven't a clue that we had a choice in the matter. But there's always a choice. If you're not choosing, you're choosing not to choose, which is choosing!

 

Life has a habit of confronting us with circumstances designed to move us to the point of choosing, so that in choosing, we come to know who we are. You see, that's the only way you will discover who you are, by choosing. Try it! Notice how powerful you feel just knowing that you have given yourself the right to choose.

 

And then you might want to consider your choices as the true measure of your consciousness.
