Our Ego's can be a hard master. I, I, I. Me, Me, Me.
How do we disconnect from the inherent selfishness or turn it down to just background noise when we can find instant gratification all around us. From an Amazon box to a mouse click. When we focus all our energies on ourselves and limit our growth and spiritual development.
If we think of our EGO's as that noise that keeps up busy, busy, busy on running around try to accomplish all of life's daily tasks. You know the ones we never really are able to complete and we're are somehow left wanting more.
From my friend and mentor, Dr. Wayne Dyer, EGO stands for Edge God Out. The more we focus on the EGO demands we find less time for the the spiritual needs of love, hope, charity, faith, consideration, cooperation, and community, We become so focused on our wants and needs that we forget we are here to serve.
Our service enables us to live from our higher selves and experience the joy and bliss of our spiritual selves. While our human selves splash around in the material world our spiritual self thirsts for something more.
What is that something?
A relationship with God. Better said, a Friendship. Worship and sacrifice are lovely words but the key word is friendship. As Dr D. states again whatever name you want to give God is your business, but the important thing is to get to know God. Have a conversation, a prayer, a meditation, and then listen. Asking is a wonderful way to start. Ask for peace, love, health, or even that new car.
And then be patient, humble, and when your prayers are answered we respond in graceful gratitude.
And when we understand all of these tremendous blessings, we learn to become givers ourselves and in giving and sharing we live from our higher spiritual selves.
Give it a try for a few weeks or months and see how your life is transformed.
EGO gone. Asking, receiving, giving present.
God here.
With Love,
Coach K
