FREEDOM FROM EGO TYRANNY
Normally we don’t see our biases for what they truly are -- ego-reinforced restrictions that keep us from realizing our greater possibilities.
Until we realize this we may have no reason or desire to be free of our biases; instead we may dutifully defend them and live within the restrictions that they impose. However, once we’re aware of how they limit and diminish us, we may seek to break free of them.
Higher consciousness training often serves this purpose. And meditation is one of its best tools. But as you practice meditation, know that it’s not an end in itself, only a training -- a way of learning to connect with one’s inner spiritual essence and free the mind from its ego enslavement.
As we do this, we become able to focus the mind in a new way; we begin to see reality more objectively and develop authentic intuition. Thus, a new life and self with greater creative energy and positive potentials becomes possible.
By freeing yourself from the tyranny of your ego biases, you can become the hero of your own life drama.
You may begin to do this simply by observing when strong likes and dislikes attempt to rule you. Then step back and take an impartial view of them ... and choose something different.
As you do this you’ll become free to act more wisely and increase your power to get better outcomes.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
INCREASE AWARENESS ... FORWARD "THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY" TO A FRIEND.
