The Nature of the Ego

Why do people have an ego, which can sometimes be misleading? The nature of the ego can be very dark; there are many urges that can pull a person into behaviours or habits that are not for their highest and best, and that impact on others in a negative or anti-social way. When a person gives in to the urges and temptations that the ego offers, it can lead to them being swayed off their spiritual path into another that is unknown and often unhealthy, leading straight to karmic repercussions.

The ego, however, is not evil, and there is a reason all humans have one. It is the voice that tells you how great you are, and every human on Earth must hold self-belief to be able to hold their position in the world with confidence. A healthy ego is essential to allow you to love, accept and respect yourself as a valuable and valued member of society. An inflated ego, however, will allow your mind to play tricks on you, telling you that you are better than others, more worthy and, therefore, exempt from the rules that would otherwise apply to all, including you.

A child who grows up in a loving home will most likely learn that all people are equal and deserving of respect. As they grow older, hey will feel loved and valued, enabling them to celebrate their own successes while allowing others to achieve success without feeling jealous. People who have had neglectful and unloving childhoods, however, have learned that love and loyalty must be fought for and won, not achieved, and are therefore more likely to have trouble sharing stories and successes. If they feel worthless, they are more likely to develop strategies for putting people down in order to make themselves look or feel better in other people’s eyes, but this strategy rarely fools people for long; it is easy to see through a person who doesn’t believe themselves what they are trying to tell you!

There are many instances of unhealthy egos in the leaders of the world at present, the majority of them being male, but not all. Leaders must believe in their vision and get their followers on board to allow the vision to grow into reality. However, a good leader will facilitate growth and leadership in others, enabling their people to develop skills to benefit the organisation as a whole. Everything and everyone will blossom and thrive. If, however, a leader becomes a dictator, the resulting disempowerment of their people will only lead to disillusionment, resentment and unrest. In this energy, democracy dies and the souls of the leaders, as well as their people, begin to wither.

The Universal Ego accepts that all is one and that everyone is equal and the same. Therefore, in the energy of Oneness, every person can expect to be treated with respect and generosity, accepted for their differences and loved for their uniqueness. In a supportive, nurturing environment, a person will have much more opportunity to value their worth and to put themselves first when necessary, but not at the expense of any other person. This is what people expect of their leaders, and the absence of empathy and compassion in many of the world’s leaders at the moment is causing a widening rift between those in power and those whose livelihoods depend on them as leaders to keep them healthy, abundant and safe. People with inflated egos and flashy displays help no-one but themselves.

If your ego is telling you that you are either no good or better than anyone else, you have work to do! Whatever you believe about yourself will project out to others and will be a radar for them to either trust and believe in you, or to distrust you and to therefore disassociate with you in order to protect their own energy.

Activating the Divine Feminine

As another year ends and a new one begins, many people find themselves hoping for a better year ahead, with less difficulties and problems. While some people coast through their lives relatively unscathed, many others never seem to get a rest between one upset and the next. The fact remains that, as the energies around the world accelerate and strengthen, pushing the boundaries between the dark and the light, many more people will find their lives containing more twists and turns than an adventure novel! This is because many souls have shed their karma and are stepping into their mastery, while just as many others are struggling to survive their lives because their connection to the all is dimmed through religion and mis-information. The resulting clash is causing much turmoil around the world!

The traditions and patterns of behaviour in societies that have for so long favoured the masculine, often at the expense and/or sacrifice of energy of women and the feminine energy contained within the human species, have, in the last decade, been challenged in many ways and forms. What has been revealed as a result? The long-term and sustained abuse of women, children and innocent people over many decades by men for their own pleasure masked by privilege, status, wealth, religion and fame. The horror of their actions has been, in many cases, made worse by their constant denials and claims of innocence, which, far from fooling anyone, has led to a mass breakdown in the faith of the justice system, governments, churches and other institutions as their lies are continuously defended and, in many cases, ignored.

The ages of masculine energy that have ruled and dominated over the eons, much of it masquerading as the ‘Word of God” but which was, at the crux of it, the male ego, continues to fight to do so today. Even as the Age of Aquarius is firmly in place and the Divine Feminine seeks to heal and restore the wounds of the past, the tug and tussle to overcome the New Age is resulting in extreme, nefarious acts of terror, war and dictatorial decrees that are stunning the First World. Those who would rule without question, taking what they will and citing the reasons as they see fit, are seemingly creating a new age of their own. What is to become of the common man, when it seems he/she has no voice against such power? How is the human race to survive against this unnatural wave that threatens to sweep all who resist it into oblivion?

Take heart that nothing on the surface is as it seems. As new, social structures arise, others are destroyed. As the light overcomes the dark, the old must make its way into the new, sometimes in ways that create much disorder before order can be maintained. There will always be a struggle, in the Third and Fourth Dimensions, for power and rule; that is a given and it would be naïve to think otherwise. However, the perspective with which the all of the turmoil and violence can be viewed upon the Earth is important, because it can be one of positivity and hope.

If one views the happenings on Earth as a crumbling, rather than a building up, it changes the paradigm completely. No significant event on Earth is without a hidden agenda, and not all of those agendas are from this lifetime. There are still many hidden skeletons to be revealed, and not all hands that reveal them are clean either. However world happenings appear on the surface, be sure that there is much clearing and shifting occurring. The worst thing anyone can assume is that they are powerless to affect the energies or to make a difference. Now, as it has been for some time, it is more important than ever that those who have been sleeping, awaken, and those who are awakened assist those whose awareness is evolving.

If there is one thing every person on Earth, and that includes you, can do that is more powerful than any ruler in the world, is to find it within yourselves to be the best you can be. Let go of the past and all of the wounds it has left. Find it in your hearts to forgive and to heal. Be honest and true to yourself by stripping away all of the armour that has hidden your true self from the world. Live with love and integrity, kindness and compassion. It may seem a simple request and one that will have no bearing on world events, but that is not so. For in doing so, you bring in the Divine Feminine energy that will instantly create a nicer and happier world for you and those around you. Imagine how powerful that can be!

The Story of Your Life

If your life was written, how would it read? Would it be predictable and boring, or would it keep you reading to the last page? Would your story be full of surprising twists and turns or sadness and tragedy? Would it be full of family, love, laughter and happiness, or one of endless hardship and struggle? Would the story flow like a river, strong and steady, or be bumpy, windy and hard to follow?

As difficult as it may be to believe, most of your life has already been written by you before you were born! You have designed this journey on Earth to live out lessons, resolve karma and to strengthen your spiritual connection to the All. If your life is extremely hard, it maybe that you have left all of your lessons until this lifetime. If, on the other hand, you feel blessed and lucky, you may be reaching mastery and find yourself teaching and leading others. The life you are living is, then, by design but not out of your control. You must consider whether you are happy with the décor or not and start to take charge of any necessary renovation. If you feel stuck or hard done by, I urge you to reflect on how your mindset has been, what trauma or resentment you have been holding onto and what limiting belief sets you are holding.

No matter how hard, sad or calamitous your story has been up until now, the next page is new, fresh and alive with possibilities! Avoid getting stuck in the story, Dear Hearts, because that may keep you stuck in a lesson that you have already learned and begin a new, unnecessary cycle of hardship. Even if you have to cut your losses to move on, isn’t it better to do that so that you can change direction and focus, beginning the next chapter with positivity and the benefit of hindsight?

Personal and spiritual growth are built on experience, but they are also reliant on learning. If you have made a mistake and learnt from it, your ongoing passage will be paved with deeper understanding of how your thought processes and decision making create opportunities and consequences in your life. There is no choice without a consequence, but taking responsibility for one’s actions takes courage. If you are facing hardships but blaming others, you may still have lessons to learn!

Life is like a stage play – all of the characters have lessons to learn and need to act out their part to learn them. They may help each other to do this, but quite often their journeys are completely different or misaligned to each other’s, resulting in arguments and conflict, misunderstandings, unfair judgements and disconnection. The only solution is for each actor to stay true to their own script and to allow the other actors to do the same.

You only live once in this lifetime! Set your own course and take charge of your journey. Take responsibility for your decisions and actions and allow yourself to learn. When the final curtain comes and you take your final bow, make sure that you can look back on the story of your life with pride and certainty that you did the best you could with the script you were given, and took charge of the moments when life went off-script.

The only one who can change the course of your life for the better is you.

Make this life count.
