‘Gaia is the spirit of nature, it’s another word for the Tao, if you befriend her, she protects you. She will eventually change the world and take it back from humans, because they hurt her and her children, the animals. All equations are balanced in the end, can’t wait really.’ – Stuart Wilde
The ego is actually a very necessary part of the personality
Which one inherits with a body
And when the ego is aligned to support ‘Higher Consciousness’
It is capable of great good
It is not a battle with the ego
It is not about transcending the ego, or conquering it
As the ego cannot be suppressed
And the personality requires the ego to provide a balanced sense of Self
It is about acquiring a better understanding of it’s true role
Which can only be achieved by embracing, befriending, taming
And training the ego
As one would a toddler
For the ego is still seeking one’s attention
So that one may acknowledge it’s presence
The ego requires an ‘inner parenting’
Grooming in preparation of greatness
In order to align correctly
And fulfil it’s true purpose
And the true purpose of the ego
Is to work alongside the spiritual deity
Of supporting higher-consciousness intent, as manifest
In the physical world
♥
By coming from a place of heart-centered Love
One can move beyond the ‘I’, the personal
And when the ego is correctly aligned in this way
From beyond the perspective of the ‘I’
And focused on the unconditional, universal
The transpersonal, spiritual
Humility may also be activated
And humility is a valuable time-saving mechanism
For gratifying the ego, appearing right, being in control, having the last say
Chasing after advertising illusions, status upgrades, mimicking Hollywood role play, (etc)
These are all time-wasting distractions
While planet Earth and her inhabitants are plundered
By unsustainable consumerism, ignorance and war
More and more each day
♥
And while the ego is languishing out of balance
Seduced by the advertising aesthetic and the media
Into supporting the capitalist mentality
That seeks to acquire more and more money/ possessions/ status/ kudos and power
Through competition and dominion
Rather than through co-operation and compassion
It continues to create havoc, misery and pain
Through a polarized perspective of the ‘Self’
Gratification to the exclusion of all else
With no understanding of how this focus
Adversely affects everything around us
We are all part of the macro / microcosm
So we do not operate alone
We are always a part of the whole
We cannot separate ourselves from this
To try to do so, is to operate in denial
♥
However, when ones spiritual wealth comes from within
(Rather than trying to feed it from without)
The ego can support ‘higher-consciousness’ intent
To motivate the will
The will, to will thy divine will, a call to serve
To implement great beneficial change and transformation
As manifest
In record speed
It is a very, very powerful tool of initiation
That can activate the higher will
And when the ego is properly aligned
In accordance with ones divine intelligence
It can achieve truly amazing things
This is the ego’s true role.
