How to get rid of ego - Three Steps

To create an ego is a natural part of human development – it is neither wrong nor bad - it is just a phase we go through to help our Soul mature. Ego is made up of our desires, fears, conditioning, unhealed emotional wounds, opinions, beliefs, attachments, envy and habits. It is my experience that we need a strong and healthy ego before we are ready to let it go. And the reason we want to let ego go – is because it blocks the Divine Light and thus also our ability to sense the optimal path towards our highest potential through the human form. Life itself is our guide. First life creates opportunities to build that strong healthy ego – and after that - life leads us to experiences that give us the option of choosing ego dissolution.

How to get rid of ego

BUT - in order to succeed in getting rid of ego – to be able to do the persistent and patient work required for ego cessation - you have to want it passionately with every cell in your body.

One of the most powerful ways of undoing ego – is to take the opportunity of working with ourselves each time we are triggered. When our buttons get pushed – ego remnants rise to the surface.

Here are the three “how to get rid of ego” steps:

1. DISTANCE.

The first thing we need in order to refuse being seduced by the so very blinding force

of our buttons being pushed is DISTANCE from our emotional body - so that we can succeed in pausing for a moment – and the most effective preparation for giving us distance from our emotional body - is a regular meditation practice.

2. AWARENESS.

When we can separate from our emotional body – and pause for a moment - there is AWARENESS of A: What we feel B: What we would like to do - which is usually an action not coming from openness or empathy and thus not serving the highest good of anyone – not serving ego dissolution – but instead reinforcing ego. Same here – a regular meditation practice is the most efficient method for helping us gain AWARENESS.

3. CHOOSE A NEW ACTION.

When we manage to gain some distance from our emotional body - pause for a moment – become conscious of our feelings and what the alternative outcomes would be depending on our choice of action – then we also have the power to CHOOSE A NEW ACTION. If we go against instinctual habit – and say NO to staying in doomed ego slavery - EVEN JUST ONCE – we open the door to Freedom – and then co-dependency with ego is immediately weakened = ego dissolution and spiritual evolution is happening.

RESULT: Next time this button is pushed - it will be much easier to resist the overwhelming dependency causing energy of our small ego self. When we commit to prioritize a different kind of high - than what ego addiction brings - then the self-imposed person prison portal opens. And one day it dawns on you - that what used to make you uncontrollably angry - doesn’t even turn your head anymore – it just brings a sweet relief and gratitude that the days of ego enslavement are over.

Swimming upstream the powerful provocative ego river - is the single most difficult responsibility on the spiritual path. BUT escaping this seemingly impossible bewitching person momentum is also THE ONLY way to dissolve that - which blocks our True Light – Wisdom – Peace - sustainable Joy – and optimal contribution to humanity and our planet.
