Lesson #12 Ego is Not a Dirty Word

Lesson #12 Ego is Not a Dirty Word
By Peter Farley www.4truthseekers.org

Like the 12 days of Xmas, we come to an end of these 12 lessons
Guidance wanted to offer you. No one is more or less important than the
others, but since ego is such a misunderstood and very powerful
influence in our lives, it has been saved for last.
Most people know they have a personal chakra system. Nearly all of the
written material explains an individual's personal chakra system.
What we are going to talk about at this time is a chakra system outside
the person's body and located in the auric field. This chakra system
is called "ego" for lack of a better term. It developed outside
your body because it was easier looking for answers, confirmations, etc
outside of one's self. It forms very early on in life in most people
when we first have to defend ourselves against some outside threat to
either our emotional or mental understandings of our self. How to
identify it? If you look for everyone else to have the correct answers
(for you or anyone else), if you lack self-esteem (as: thinking
yourself less than, etc. People call this not enough ego), or it could
go the other way where you think you know more than and are an expert
in everything...too much ego). Actually ego is neither good nor bad...
it just is. It is when we go outside of ourselves instead of inside
that causes us problems.

This chakra formed around our first self-defense issues becomes the ego
chakra. Not everyone is comfortable with the removal of the outside ego
chakra system. One lady felt great pain and discomfort at its removal
because so many of her issues in life revolved around her ego.
Sometimes it is just easier to have it there, but the benefits of
removing it are truly remarkable. It is easier to go within to get the
answers, you get better answers that are directly related to you, you
won't appear to be either lacking in self esteem or "egocentric,
you will be more self confident and having an inner knowing. Removal
of the ego chakra requires a commitment from you because it will change
your life, the way you perceive yourself and your perception of the
world.

Ego is not a dirty word. As Ceanne DeRohan explains in Right Use of
Will, healing our disconnections and non self-acceptance is a matter of
personal choice and timing, yet personal choice is not a constant, it
changes and expands as a person evolves. What may not seem right to us
right now may become right at any other given moment. Spiritual growth
has been thought to require death of the ego as with many of the
Eastern religions. This is not a true understanding of the situation.
There is no problem with ego. Like the mind, it can be a wonderful
tool, but always makes a very poor master.

"Denying the ego its right function has created disease in the ego
and this disease is the problem. Death of the ego is not a necessary
part of Spiritual growth.

"Ego in fact is the part of you that recognizes yourself as you. The
ego operates to protect your present level of ability to accept and
express. Ego is as Divine as anything else. There is no problem with
ego if it sees itself as evolving with the rest of you. You cannot tell
the difference between yourself and anything else without ego."

However, when ego is allowed to express itself as better than those
with whom it co-exists, then it attaches itself to power and becomes
out of balance. Power can be a wonderful thing too if used in the
service of Creation, but he was unable to maintain that attitude as his
ego shifted. The power wielded by Beings such as those of the Spiritual
Hierarchy and higher spiritual councils is only to be used for the
Highest Good. It is not and must not be allowed to be swayed in any way
by the individual will.
The problem here is that the Opposition will focus more effort on
overcoming a stronger opponent than it will a weaker individual. This
is the way it is with the darkside. When other energies are allowed to
permeate the essence of a person wielding such powers, their direction
can be gradually shifted until that person is serving that Dark Side,
often without even knowing it. This is what has happened to some of
those channeling the very Beings here to help us all -Beings such as
Ramtha. Things change. The Opposition uses a great deal of its energies
to infiltrate, corrupt, and otherwise interfere with the efforts going
on to help correct the situation on the planet.

In Eye of the Centaur, Barbara Clow is addressed by a God-like being
who counsels her on how best to know if the energies she is connected
to are of the highest or not:

"You do not have to worry about this question. You are able to know
in all situations whether the energy is from me or not. Trust your
awareness. All energy that is not from me is energy that we fight to
dissipate. The energy that we fight to dissipate is very large and very
all-encompassing on your planet, and in our realms it is like a pea.
But, if you do not ground and diffuse, magnetize our energy on the
earth plane, the earth plane will be destroyed in some form. You will
be overcome by that other energy which causes human beings to do things
which destroy them.

"You must proceed with your judgmental abilities based upon intuitive
perceptions toward the correct source. You must connect, you must do
many things with this source. You must protect this source as
information is concerned. There are many levels here for doing this.
You must work to get the correct words through to the humans by means
of writing and by means of speaking. You must exist as a purification
force. In all rituals that you participate in, you have the power to
purify participants in the ritual, and you have the power to affect to
some degree the priests and priestesses, the transmitters of the power.
You have the power to go to the temple to purify.

"And you also exist to radiate unconditional love to all beings and
all people that you encounter. The magnetic force of the purification
of unconditional love is my way of reaching to the human plane. . . As
you follow my instructions in this lifetime, you will not succeed on
the physical plane. The negative energy forces will overcome the earth
plane-not you, the earth plane-in almost all situations. Even my
energy sources will be hidden and taken from the people."

Free Will is the key element here for even the highest spiritual beings
have Free Will. To use our Free Will to make the decision to surrender
it to the Higher Will we must understand and regain our own sense of
individual will or the chance to regress is still present. Again,
Barbara Clow:

"But they can become divine only by activating their inherent free
will. And free will can be mastered on Earth only by allowing total
trust-by seeing from the inner brain [and heart] rather than through
the five senses. This skill makes it possible to be on earth and in all
other dimensions simultaneously. This is the secret of experiencing
oneness with all things."
