PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Sometimes our good intentions may cause harm to others.  Let me explain. Have you ever heard parents trying to control their children to do what they want, such as a pursuing a certain profession to be successful, marrying a certain type of person to be happy, or follow beliefs that they were taught to be proper?  Well, these actions arise from good intentions, but are they really helpful to their child or does it harm their emotional growth?

Our egos identify with our beliefs, things we are attached to, and our own emotional and physical needs.  Our egos will even create justifications and reasons in our conscious mind that we are doing what is “best.”.  Ego use judgment to convince us that we are right because we know better and are wiser.  Ego uses its power to control others for self gain. Finally, ego identifies and attaches to our beliefs and things from our past.

When we act from ego, others may be harmed simply because ego is selfish in its need to preserve its identify.  Ego is so powerful that most people have no idea they have identified with ego, even those awakened.  Until we release ego, it will continue to control our behaviors, actions, and lives, and we are at its whim.   To practice releasing ego, please see my Blogsite homepage tab, “Observing Ego Practice.” Blessings of love to you, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
