The closer we get to transcending our limited view of ourselves and aligning with the truth of who we really are, the more the ego panics and the more obstacles it throws our way.
The process of moving from (mis)identification with the Lesser Self to identification with our Higher Self involves the dissolution of the ego, for the ego is the collection of the limiting lies we believe about ourselves. Lies that are ever fear-based and reduce us to living lives smaller than we are.
Naturally, the ego is very scared of its own death. And the more we move toward stripping ourselves from the illusions of our smallness and powerlessness, the bigger obstacles the ego starts to throw on our path.
My own ego has been throwing knives, daggers, cannonballs and all during the last few months, creating wars within and without, chaos, confusion.
We get very desperate and scared of the annihilation of the “little me” illusion. Untruth fights viciously for its survival. Bluffing, double bluffing. It has all the tricks.
The transcendence is in letting it all unravel, without engaging in it. Withstanding the wars, being with the chaos. Surrendering to all of it.
There’s no transformation without death. The old goes to make space for the new. Metamorphosis. It feels scary. We resist it. But the more you lean into it, the more you recognise and realise yourself as who you truly are. Not a body and a mind, but a body, and a mind, and a heart, and a soul. Not a separate entity, but one with all with all that life is. Not a small little human, but the flow and force that animates all life.
How is your own ego trying to blind side you and keep you from your next level of evolution toward flow, abundance and love?
Which is the biggest obstacle in your way right now?
What lies of scarcity, limitation and powerlessness do you think you might be buying into?
