Identifying Your Illusionary Ego

To help you identify your illusionary ego, here are a few common ego game identities that people play with. Each of these ego identities holds a belief about itself and copes with the world by embodying this way of being.

Mr. Defensive:
"I want nobody to like me. If I am unlovable, I can never be hurt again."
Mr. Enlightened:
"I am above it all and don't have any problems or places where I need to grow in my life. Everybody else has problems."
Mr. Nice Guy:
"I want everybody to like me. I am a really a great and loving person."
Miss. Perfect:
"Everything must be perfect in my world. If things are not in order something terrible will happen."
Miss. Lone Ranger:
"I don't need anybody to help me. I am so strong and independent."
Miss SuperGirl:
"I must be successful at all costs. If I am not successful, I am nothing."

One of the most important things that you can do is figure out the ego game that is running your life. The first clue to look at how you tend to act, behave and respond to others generally, specifically when you are feeling uncomfortable. Most people revert back to one way of operating and repeat it over and over their entire life. This game runs every aspect of their lives from their personal life to their financial life. For instance, if your ego plays the Superman or SuperGirl game, your whole life may be about accomplishment to such an extent that you only think of things as how will this help you be more successful. You may ignore your relationships in favor of professional success, or even use relationships to help you create more success. The point is that you build your life around whatever game your ego wants to play and this may stop you from having the kind of life you truly love.

The biggest game of all however is believing that your ego is real. It's about as real as a mirage in the desert.

You walk up to a mirage and think there is an oasis of water there, yet when you reach into it you only pull up a handful of sand. When we hold onto this illusion that the ego exists, we remain trapped in the cyclical wheel of suffering forever. The truth is that the game you are playing will eventually blow up like a balloon and explode! This way may be painful, yet you will one day see how the ego never truly satisfies. Only finding your true authentic self will satisfy you, and truly abolish the illusionary ego from its grip on you forever.

It is difficult to manifest what you truly desire when your ego is in the way. It causes an energetic block to the feelings and thoughts that allow your dreams to manifest. Uncovering your ego game will make you into a manifesting magician! It will set you soooo free so that you stay focused in the direction of your dreams and naturally attract whatever you desire.

Remember that behind this ego masquerade is what you have been searching for, the infinite loving essence that loves every part of who you are. So let's strip off that ego mask today, and discover the truth of who you really are. You deserve to live from the most enlightened place of all, where you know yourself as the Divine Authentic Self.

Self Appreciation

Excerpt from the Self Appreciation CD from Abraham-Hicks

You are not just this physical body.

SELF includes the larger part of you that is non physical in nature - pure, positive, Source energy (God/Life Force/Universal/Soul/Higher Self) AND the physical you.

SELF means the Broader TOTAL You =.Physical you + Non physical You, which is WHO-YOU-REALLY-ARE.Most of you have been persuaded by others that you are vulnerable, that you are powerless, that you must prove yourselves worthy. In others lack of appreciation (disconnection) of Self, they have convinced you that you should also not appreciate yourself.

Do you like yourself?
Do you acknowledge your own value?
Do you recognise your personal power?
Or Do you criticise yourself?
Do you feel not good enough, unworthy, undeserving?
Do you feel unlovable, unloved?

These negative thoughts about yourself are so contradictory to that which your broader SELF holds of you that you FEEL negative emotion. Negative emotion is your emotional guidance telling you that the thoughts you are thinking are holding yourself apart from who-you-really-are.
When you think thoughts that are not in harmony with the total you, you feel a separation. Emotions such as fear, guilt, revenge, insecurity, hatred, anger, blame, frustration are your indicators telling you how close or far away in relationship to the truth that the thoughts you are thinking really are.

The better you feel, the more in tune you are with who-you-really-are.
Are you SELF-ish enough to learn to focus on feeling good, irrelevant of the conditions that surround you?
Can you acknowledge yourself as the pure and perfect, eternally growing, attractive, creative being that you are?

Learn to recognise the connection between your thoughts & words with how you are FEELING and then connect that with what you are attracting/living. And you will see a consistent correlation.

Because the way you feel about YOU is the very basis of attraction.Your reality, your real life experience, is nothing more than a balance of your thoughts.If you want to make the world a better place, it starts with loving, appreciating and making peace with YOU. When you feel good, you are in a place to uplift others. When you feel good, you attract to you all the resources of the Universe to support you. When you feel good, you inspire all those around you to do the same.

Accepting Yourself

A Dynamic Choice-Maker

There is no such thing as a good person or a bad person. There are choices and actions that lead us in different directions, and it is through those choices and actions that we create our realities. Sometimes we choose or do something that takes us in the opposite direction of the reality we want to create for ourselves. When we do this, we feel bad—uneasy, unhappy, unsure. We might go so far as to label ourselves “bad” when a situation like this arises. Instead of labeling ourselves, though, we could simply acknowledge that we made a choice that lead us down a particular path, and then let it go, forgiving ourselves and preparing for our next opportunity to choose, and act, in ways that support our best intentions.

Many of us experienced childhoods in which the words good and bad were used as weapons to control us—you were good if you did what you were told and bad if you didn’t. This kind of discipline undermines a person’s ability to find their own moral center and to trust and be guided by their own inner self. If you were raised this way, you may find yourself feeling shockwaves of badness when you do something you were taught was wrong, even if now you don’t agree that it’s bad. Conversely, you may feel good when you do what you learned was right. Notice how this puts you in something of a straitjacket. An important part of our spiritual unfolding requires that we grow beyond what we learned and take responsibility for our own liberation in our own terms.

You are a human being with every right to be here, learning and exploring. To label yourself good or bad is to think too small. What you are is a decision-maker and every moment provides you the opportunity to move in the direction of your higher self or in the direction of stagnation or degradation. In the end, only you know the difference. If you find yourself going into self-judgment, try to stop yourself as soon as you can and come back to center.
Know that you are not good or bad, you are simply you.
