Satisfying our ego minds!

My heart is heavy. I’m unsure exactly why. It isn’t necessarily a good thing or a bad thing. It’s just how I feel. I try to close my eyes and take a few seconds to stop, breathe and watch how I feel, feel the energy in my body. I am present. The heaviness I feel is the stress I feel. Sometimes it’s not even my own stress. When you’re in tuned with the energies around you it’s sometimes others’ energies that you feel. If the energy around you is sad, tense or anything negative, it’s normal for you to feel that in your body because after all we are the same energy. This is how we communicate when it comes down to it.

When we are able to shed layer by layer; our languages, the words that we use to understand each other, the narrative we tell ourselves and others, the identity we’ve formed or taught to be formed for ourselves as we grew up, they linger and becomes so real that we believe it to be our reality. But if we are able to let it go, or view it for what it is, it’s just like putting on multiple layers of clothes on yourself, one on top of another, until over the years you start to believe that each piece of cloth is now a part of you.

What’ll happen if you start un-layering yourself, taking each piece of cloth off one at a time, letting it go one by one, what are you left with? You’ll be left with the body you had all along. The only consistent thing that remained as it is, throughout the years. This is the same as the identities we create, from being a kid going to school and having a particular favourite subject, to a grown adult working or running a company and defined by the value in your bank account, or any other form of success we have constructed for ourselves. The inner you that had these thoughts or beliefs that changed over the years is still the same you; an awareness, a collective energy. This is why coming back to how we are able to communicate with energies is that we are all simply energy.

We have become so focused on the external world, we have forgotten to connect within, to look within, and to feel how we feel within. Even if we didn’t speak the same language and understand each other, the connection we have with a human, an animal or nature can still be the same. We can still feel someone’s energy, and the more we are in touch with our own energy, the more the clear the energy surrounding us becomes. We have to no longer depend on words to understand. We can trust the feeling and the energy we feel to know what to do in a specific situation or any situation. Anyone who is successful in whatever they are doing, as success is relative to each individual perception, may it be someone who’s great at sports, businesses or anything else. They all know to trust their energy or the gut. They follow their instinct more than their minds or the thought process. This is how consciously or unconsciously they are able to create and manifest the reality they want.

When you’re following the energy in your body (gut feeling), even if it may not make any sense but you trust it anyway, that’s when you are being open to life to happen, without any resistance. You’re allowing life to bring you whatever it may bring you without trying to steer it. No resistance implies no stress. Anytime we try to control anything in our life, it is our ego mind working from a place of fear. The ego is always functioning with fear as it doesn’t like uncertainty or the unknown. It’s comfortable when it is able to have the illusion of control. This is why we have so many narratives in our mind and beliefs created around it. Our thought process is merely something that comes up to try make the inner mind comfortable and be in a controlled state since we can’t control what happens outside of us externally.

Everything we do in life, all the material gains, the need for validation, for appreciation, even chasing for love is simply to satisfy our ego mind. Read the last sentence again. Why would we need all this reassuring or materials or anything external at all if we or our ego isn’t working from a place of fear? In a moment where you feel content, complete, and whole, do you need anything else or reassurance?

Love, peace, joy these are ever present within ourselves. We have long forgotten or not ever been taught how to access it. This is my way of trying to remind you, that freedom you are looking for, may it be feeling secure and stable, a feeling of ease and at peace, or anything else, it is all there within you. I hope you take some time to look. :)
