PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

As I have been working to release my ego, I have come to understand some truths about myself and what I have observed in others.  When we feel slighted or hurt by others, it is our ego reacting to the pain and wounds within our own emotional landscape.  We may have pain and wounds from childhood injuries, hurt from divorces, betrayals by those we love and trust, or rejection of our love by others.  These pains are stored in our emotional landscapes that the ego feeds on as nourishment.    

When we become emotionally hurt again in our current life that triggers these past painful memories, it is the ego feeding  on our painbodies.  Our painbody is a storehouse of these deep emotional pain and injuries, some from childhood as well from adulthood.  Some of us may have larger painbodies than others due to childhood abuse and trauma.  When we react to others’ anger and rage, it is ego reacting to the anger and rage within our own painbodies.

We all have experienced road rage where others will give us the finger or yell obscenities at us out of anger or frustration.   Do you remember wanting to scream back at them or give them the finger in return?   This is our egos reacting to our own anger and pain within in our emotional landscape. This anger arises from fear of being disapproved or disliked by others, that somehow we are not good enough.

We begin to understand why we react to others negatively by observing our egos.  First, our egos will be triggered by a situation or person.  By observing ego, we will feel these emotions rising within us.  We may feel anger, frustration, indignation, or rage, and we can choose to react or not.  By observing the ego objectively, we can stop our reaction sooner, later, or not at all, and this is the crux of the process.  It is also more difficult to stop reactions to rising emotions, when our painbodies are triggered, but this can be done from personal experience.  However, when our emotional pains and wounds are healed within then we will no longer react because we will no longer have a painbody.
