Ego patterns you might not be aware of

As there are several paths this one is aware of, can you offer yours here... whereby you have made peace.

Mine was a shifting from the first attention, by reflective meditation initially and by asking the chakra of the heart to reveal measures that were binding me to the ego.

Blessings!

Mine was realizing that everytime I was present I was joyful, and was not thinking. I realized that the present moment is key to enlightenment. I made peace with the present because when I am present is when Being sheds to light.

i like my ego. she's a clever ever adapting shield and a govenor on the externalization of my inner expressions. i couldn't survive in human society without her.

Yet, there are few who can attain the present at a glance or at will. It takes practice so to speak. I have seen whereby certain levels of acceptance thou that displaces bias, bigotry, judgement, etc. will shift one upon the present almost as an after thought, or non-thought.

In the present moment not ANY thoughts have the power to bring you down or get you thinking. I don't meditate anymore, for that I am present all day long and always keep part of my attention inside my body throughout everyday activities. When aware of everything going on within, there is the great power of choice. You can choose which emotion you want to feel. All what I say is I choose peace, or I choose joy, I choose bliss. It always follows with what I say instantly. If one is unconsciously thinking it won't work.

Maybe your part of yourself or your ego self, helps you. For me it is gone for the most part. That part of me died. I never did have much of an ego growing up. The ego can die. It cannot survive in the present moment. And it lives off of separation.

And yes the ego is clever, but it is not intelligent.

Does it mean that that is where I am at right now, no. I am past all of what I am writing. I am feeling the love, joy, peace, and bliss most of the time. I am just expressing my thoughts at any given moment. Do I 'need' to explain myself to you? Absolutely not. As you get to know me, you'll get to understand me a little more throughout my threads. A lot of what I write does not have to do with the level I am at personally. I am in a constant state of 'Being' or no-mind. If I were to post threads on my level of development it would not help many, because many might not understand where I am at. I try more and write threads that can help others. Not necessarily where I am at spiritually.

I'd love to hear you talk from this space :)

she doesn't need to be. all she needs to be is adaptive.

That was very profound, moke.
Very quotable.
It came from the deep well of wisdom we all often dip into.


I went back to read a few more of your posts...you must be an Indigo child - you
are very wise at only 21.

Lucky guy and so are your parents - you've probably done your work in past lives
to be a lightworker here now.
Bless you.
