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.
