Ready to Tame Your Ego?, by Les Dotson

Ego has a big and beautiful purpose in our life. It is said that the purpose of ego is to cause you great levels of unhappiness and suffering so that hopefully one day, after trying to change the world and people around you, you can look inside and decide to change yourself.

But what is ego ? The best definition I have found so far is: A system of beliefs and limitations that prevents the ability to love.

Ego is the idea you have of yourself, your system of beliefs, culture and everything that makes you who you are.

However, you didn´t come into this world with an ego, you created it in this world.

When you where a baby and a little child you where in a state of innocence, but innocence gets contaminated with everything that culture sold you and did TO you.

It hurt you, and you took it as truth, because as you were in state of innocence, you didn´t have any prior information to confront those ideas or beliefs that were not true.

So that is why when you have the first bad experience in the soul life as child, the Ego is formed, the reality of innocence is gone.

That is why we as kids accepted almost everything without questioning it, before the traumas started to happen to us.

The thing with ego is that it each gets time, it’s more structured with what you studied, with the views you had of the world, with everything you learned and heard, after the innocence starts to disintegrate.

Ego creates a mold of yourself and every passing year it gets more and more solid, just like a rock.

Ego doesn´t let you enjoy life, it tells you that life and people should be a specific way and that reality is wrong. Ego is that urge you feel to impose your beliefs on others, to be the first and divides the world into good and bad,, right and wrong - seperation.

Ego is why you suffer.

You have an ego but you are not your ego! You created it, but start to look and see if you are too identified with your ego.

What is the purpose of ego then?

The Ego lets you verify that the world and people are not like you believe they should be and trying to change them brings you pain, unhappiness and suffering. All of this happens because your Ego= beliefs, judgements and prejudices.

When you start to clean your Ego of that, you start changing your system of beliefs into new information of truth, understanding and love. Back to the innocence of a child but fully awake of what the world is fully capable of doing to people who are NOT AWAKE and AWARE.

How do you know if information is truth? Because of the results you have in your life, which are positive results of your actins and behaviors, better relations, acceptance, adaptability, and better health an wellness. This is CALLED Selflessness. It steps out of Ego and takes care of the original soul that was innocent, but has now awaken.

These are positive indicators, you can´t fool yourself with them. You need to stay awake and not fall back to sleep and be hurt with worldly things, situations and others that are NOT vibrating at a level of higher level of consciousness. This is the raising of frequency and vibration as you are now transcending to an awaken state.

Lesson learned…

Ego brings you from the state of innocence into purity, and that purity can never be polluted again!!!!!!!.

It’s like a baby touching fire for the first time. They touch it, feel the pain that they didn’t know before and that experience wakes up the baby to “ouch that hurts’ and doesn’t feel good, and swears never to experience that hurt again, consciously and subconsciously. The baby learns to stay safe even around the fire in life, forever (hopefully)!
