I had an epiphany this morning on how to overcome ego, since I have been struggling with this issue for several months now. It is done through unconditional love. For the last several days, my ego has been extremely overactive. This is what seems to happen when we begin to release ego.
Whenever I even think about my Kundalini catalyst, my ego would go into overdrive, accusing and blaming him for the past, and my fear of being unloved or abandoned would surface. I would then go through panic and anxiety.
Recently with my practice of observing my ego as a third-party bystander, I have begun to identify the thoughts of ego versus my higher self. Whenever ego takes control, I hear negative thoughts, then fear, panic, and anxiety would rise up in me. Instead of reacting, I would simply observe this objectively and acknowledging that this is the work of my ego.
What is allowing me to overcome ego’s control of my emotions and subsequent reactions is simply unconditional love. It is this love we have for others that allows us to overcome ego’s manic need for control through fear and doubt. When we finally realize that our ego is destroying the relationships with those we love, we begin to want that love for others more than ego’s need for identity. It is this unconditional love that motivates us to release our egos for something greater, more beautiful, and worthwhile. I now realize that I want that love much more than I want to identify with ego.
I believe this is the beginning of how we release ego’s control, and feel grateful that a light went off in my head today reminding me that my love for others is more important than my ego’s need for identity. I now better understand unconditional love. ~ Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
