The Ego and I
When psychic/Spiritual development is happening, it is quite difficult at times to accept stuff. We look for logical explanations for the information we are getting and the images we are given. This then makes us question if it is real or not.
Why do we do this? Simply because the left part of our brain, the logic part is what our Ego has control of and our Ego loves control. It has been in control of our right side of the brain for a long time and just cannot allow that control to go without a fight.
Imagine it like the cartoons we see where the character has a little devil (EGO) and a little angel (HIGHER SELF) whispering in each ear. The devil is always encouraging negative behaviour where the angel encourages goodness and positive behaviour. They battle it out between them until one of them wins.
We have an inner battle each day to stop our ego’s taking control. Especially as we develop our abilities. As the more we develop the less control the ego has. It is difficult at times as the ego (left part of the brain) creates doubts all the time which causes fear to take hold.
That is why meditation is important especially guided meditations on CD or podcasts for those who have difficulty with doubts and fears. A guided meditation helps with the concentration while the right half of the brain (our higher selves) shows us what we need to know and connects us to our guides to help us move forward and conquer the fears and doubts.
Even when we are full development and meditation becomes easier, the ego fights us and makes us too cocky for our own good. That is why all good psychic development groups and Mediumship development circles have ground rules. The main rule is to never just approach someone even if spirits are urging you to do so. You must always wait to be asked by the person.
There has been many times where I have seen spirits stood by a lady on the bus, the spirit then approaches me and says ‘tell her……..’ I have to say ‘no, I am sorry but if you talk to her while she sleeps you can give her the idea of going to a spiritual church or guide her to talk to someone who can communicate like me. But now is not the time for her to be given your message’. Spirit then understands that there are boundaries that mediums and Psychic mediums cannot cross.
It is difficult to not want to help people especially when you can see how much they are hurting. However, it is important not to let your ego take control. You should never walk up to someone and say “Excuse me, I am a medium and there is a spirit of a …… and they are telling me to say to you……” That is just ego saying ‘look at me, I am special’ When you are not special at all. You are just able to communicate with spirit. This ability is not a gift and it does not make anyone special.
Ego is the hidden monster in all of us. So remember next time you hear yourself saying I am finding it hard to meditate or relax, or I can’t do it as it’s too difficult. The “I” is your ego, there to try it’s best to control you. So it is time for you to do battle yet again. But also think about it this way, all movies that involve battles usually feature the good fighting against the bad and the good always end up victorious. And that is how this battle will end because our ego (the bad) is created by our human body whereas our higher self (the good) is the soul and the soul never dies.
