The child that you were

Someone asked me yesterday, "Would the child that you were be proud of the woman that you are?" I said, "That's a beautiful question! I believe that the child that I was would be very proud of the woman I am."....She smiled and said, "How many persons can honestly say this?" I replied, "I don't know. Not many I guess; but I am certain about the feelings and thoughts of the child that I was (have done a lot of inner-child work and understand her completely by now). Even the teenager that I was, or the young adult that I was, or the woman that I was until yesterday, would be proud of the woman that I am today! There is no doubt in my mind/ heart about that."

What say you? Would the child that you were be proud of the wo/man that you are? Yes, No, May be, Perhaps......................:)))))

Heaven on Earth

Our ego-personality is the 'Outer-Self'; while Consciousness/ Spirit is the 'Inner-Self'.......The Residing Deity! 

When we use expressions like 'Higher'-self, we automatically condemn a part of our 'self' to be the 'Lower'-self! and since we humans dwell in duality and judgment; one part of our 'self' becomes better (holier) than the other. 

So much so, that we begin to (and continue to) 'glorify/ deify' one part at the cost of the other; and conversely, 'vilify' (make villain out of) the other part!

Can you imagine the plight of the part being vilified? Can you imagine the 'holier-than-thou' attitude of the one being glorified?

Do you see this game being played in all areas of our life? We glorify/ vilify professions/ inclinations/ institutions/ talents/ tendencies/ opinions/ complexions/ looks/ races/sexes/ animals/ flowers/ plants/ people/ parts of our own personality etc. etc. etc.

What if we stop playing this game? What if we start treating everyone as equal?

Can we begin with ourselves? Can we stop vilifying our ego-personality? Can we stop glorifying our Higher Self? Can we accord them equal status?

If we can do that, we can create Heaven on Earth...........♥

Glorious and Perfect

We ARE glorious and perfect...........:) This is not an ego issue, because in our glory and perfection we are all alike. None of us is more glorious or more perfect than another....

It is our ego-personality signature which makes us unique/ different/ separate from the other. That's why the ancients talked about 'transcending' the ego in order to understand that our ego-personality is an 'individuated' expression of the ONE glorious and perfect Spirit/ Consciousness, which resides in all beings!

However, we need to remember that the ego-personality didn't 'choose' itself- The glorious and perfect Spirit chose the ego-personality! And why did it do so? Why does it continue to do so? There must be SOME reason for the glorious/ perfect spirit to choose imperfect ego-personalities to 'house' itself!!!

Is it playing 'Hide and Seek'? Perhaps it is!

Why do WE play 'hide and seek'? To have fun? To enjoy ourselves? To break the monotony? To amuse our children?

Perhaps the glorious and perfect Spirit/ Consciousness/ Father-Mother God/ ALL THAT IS/ I AM Presence is also playing this game simply to have fun, enjoy itself, break the monotony, and amuse his/ her children-The Creation!

And what happens when we have fun and amuse ourselves?

As a by-product of having fun, our vibrations are raised, our personal (and collective) energy field gets expanded and The Consciousness expands too! What a win-win story! Win for the ego-personality and win for The Spirit!! Wow!

Don't parents usually wish win-win for both; the children and the parents?

Is it possible that Father- Mother God too want Win-Win for all of Creation??

I believe so! and SO IT IS!!!

More/ Less/ or No Ego

"More is the ego in a person, more love he needs to be at peace."

This statement in my mail-box, set me thinking.........

I look at ego (a Latin word which simply means 'I' in English)  as the ego-personality of my current incarnation (my experience/ action state), which has been very carefully chosen by my soul+ mind+ spirit entity (my home state), while keeping the larger picture in sight (an example which comes to mind is my favorite actor Aamir Khan choosing a particular role in a movie after deliberating over each aspect of the character being portrayed, the script, other characters in the script etc).....

I ( mind+soul+spirit entity) has taken an embodiment with a particular ego-personality which gets shaped by circumstances and situations in a particular incarnation- (all part of the script)- while carrying samskaras from previous incarnation- (flashbacks).

So, when does ego become 'more' or 'less'? When does it disappear?

Is 'more ego' akin to 'over-acting' and 'less ego' akin to 'almost natural acting'? Does 'no ego' mean 'no acting'?

If Aamir Khan does over-acting (God forbid), his movie will be a flop (a failure), but if he does almost natural acting (which is what he does), the movie will be a roaring success!! But if he does no acting at all.....and just remains Aamir Khan, whatever may be the requirement of the role, no director would ever sign him up!!.....Unless of course, he is assaying the role of Aamir Khan itself- playing himself as he is.

Similarly, if we remain (mind+soul+spirit entity) without an ego-personality, we cannot remain in embodiment. Embodiment comes WITH an ego-personality.

If you have to work in a movie you HAVE to act according to the requirement of the role; unless you are playing the role of you as you....Similarly, if you have chosen an embodiment, you have to have an ego-personality and act as whoever you have chosen to be; unless of course you have chosen to play the role of you as you- an Avatar la Rama, Krishna etc.....:))

If I was to put the above phrase in perspective.........I would say, "The more suppressed/ shadow aspects in a person; More love s/he needs to be at peace." .............Does this resonate with anyone???

However, I would also like to add that 'more ego' may mean more masks to cover all the suppressed/ shadow aspects........and 'less ego' may mean being almost natural/ authentic/ spontaneous/ completely in tune with the original personality you have chosen for this incarnation...:))) 'No Ego' is not possible in human embodiment!!
