Living from the heart vs. Living from the ego
Living from the heart vs. Living from the ego
Well this won't be a novel, but this will be in my own words how I feel about this. I do NOT expect people to agree or disagree, just take perhaps into consideration that someone needs to HEAR this message. That person, may be ME! I am learning more how to write better articles and perhaps this is just a beginning of one here that I wish to share because I feel to. When I act on my guidance, what I feel to do, my intuition, I am honoring my inner voice. I will not dishonor that voice because of an old paradigm way of thinking that 'gee maybe so-and-so will not like what I have to say here'. Well TUFF. I am going to share it regardless of who 'likes' or 'agrees' with the message or not.
Living from the heart, truly, constitutes a shift in behavior, which is that our ego's need to take a step back and learn from our higher selves. No, you do not 'remove' it from who you are, but you need to be able to step back from it long enough to see that you are reacting to something and see the opportunity for growth right then and there. This is not easy to do. But you have a choice: you can react, or you can stop and LOOK at what is front of you that you are reacting to and see it as an opportunity to grow and learn what is causing disharmony within you. Why do you react to such a thing? What is it you really don't agree with or can't seem to find your way past or understand? It may be that you feel a need to be 'right' about what you feel, and that someone has just disrespected that. Well, let me tell you something, that is where we start making judgments. When we find people not agreeing with us and what we feel is true for our selves we think they are 'dumb' or 'stupid' or ignorant' or better yet, 'unenlightened'. This is dangerous because that is a poison that we feed and we start to harbor that poison which turns into intolerance, anger, hatred, etc. All the goodies from yours truly-the ego. When you live from your heart these are not possible to do. You can only love, and teach that which you do. Only love. When you begin to see what it is you are doing, you can say, oh I have a choice. But this is hard work. All are chosen, but few will choose. This is the opportunity we have to choose love, or ego. Well, if you look at what the ego does and how it has been working for you in your life, you know it is much easier to be ignorant then open your eyes and see the real truth. I know because I have been there. I have spent the past 10 years working on who I am to teach that which I choose to teach because I feel this is the only chance we have to change this world and turn things around. Teach only love, that is what we are.
Of course it is much easier to choose the ego and react and stay in the dark, feeling and feeding off of our own toxins and poisons because we think it serves us to be disgusted with people who do not feel and/or believe the same way we do. Well that is what "F*****" up the world to begin with. Why is it that it is still happening here and now even on WOS? Because we are STILL trying to learn how to do this the right way without messing ourselves or others up in the process. Well, when we react and spread that ego-poison, others can be affected because the vibration you send out is negative, and that serves one purpose: to feed the darker and denser energies, which are the ones who have a tight hold on the good people. Why, do you want to do that? If you are a true lightworker you will work through your crap and change whatever it is that is no longer serving you into a useful tool so that your ego will be working along with you in utilizing tools that it was meant for: instinctive discernment.
Living from the heart takes courage. To teach only love, takes courage. It takes the inner strength to overcome the reactions of the ego and transform them into a response out of compassion rather than the "I am right, listen to me, and if you don't agree, you can go to ****" attitude. I grew up with that attitude all around me, and I was there too. There is no place I have described here that I have not been. It is still work to maintain the vibration I have attained and to stay in my heart center is not always easy. But then, I did NOT choose the easy path in this life. I don't feel I choose it in past lives, either. You would think that teaching only love is about fluffy feel good stuff that keeps you light all the time. It is not. It is alot of hard work, to constantly keep yourself in check and really work on the things you know are not serving you.
Healing is what we do when we begin our work on changing....or better put by Ghandi" Be the change you wish to see in the world. I started that change 10 years ago. I have not stopped growing. And I am not done healing. None of us are. Show me someone who is "DONE" and I will show you what he or she needs to hear. I do not tell people what they want to hear. I speak the truth about it and not everyone wants to hear what they need to hear. The truth hurts. believe me I know. Look in the mirror and find the truth that hurts in you. That is a good way to start your healing.
And what do I mean by healing? Well, we don't heal anyone but ourselves. We can allow others to assist us in our healing, BUT, our healing is four-fold in nature: Spiritual, Emotional, Mental and Physical. Ultimately, we are the ones who heal ourselves, by: the desire to heal, knowing what is out, and the space to create for the healing to take place. It takes work on ALL four levels to achieve proper balance and heal what is out. I am a healer, because I have healed many aspects of my life and self. Actual physical ills that were brought upon by deep emotional wounds. I had found lots of tools that helped me work through things to heal. There was not just one thing that worked better than another; I used things/tools in conjunction with other ways of healing to bring about what I needed to heal my woundedness. And I will tell you, what works for you is probably the best thing for you. What you are drawn to or called to will be things you most likely feel to work with. Alot of people use Reiki. I utilize the Grace Energy without use of symbology. I simply use LIGHT. The Source is what gives us Light. But then, you may see things differently here and that is OK.
I did not come to the world to live in ignorance, after finding the truth of my heart and I certainly did not come to WOS to pass judgment on anyone either. I would not be being true to myself if I did that. Staying in your heart center is work, and I am ever vigilant. You could say I am a warrior of light, but that does not feel right to use a word that has a connotation associated with war in it. It just does, for me. So calling myself a Lightworker is truly what I am doing, because I am choosing my heart over the ego, I am choosing love over fear and darkness, I am choosing to do the work I need to do on myself in order to be in service to earth and her inhabitants.
I am a teacher of wisdom and love. I am a student. I am a healer. I am a lightworker. I AM one of the few who chose.
Are you?
Bless your hearts,
