Have you ever been judged by others for certain behaviour that you do, and been told how wrong or bad it is? Not like you need to be told as you are certainly already beating up on yourself for it. This is your ego and your ego loves to create a conflict either inflating you and creating a sense of false superiority, or, deflating you in to a contraction and moving you in to a false sense of inferiority.
Either way, the war has begun. You find yourself fighting for a sense of what you believe ‘perfection’ to be. Not realizing that beyond the ego’s battle to control, you are intrinsically already perfect. Beyond the veils of right and wrong, beyond the veils of good and bad, beyond your battling ego voice.
Notice that in order for a battle to begin, there need to be two sides. One side pushing to be right and the other side pushing back in order to be right. Maybe both are right! Let me explain. If your life felt under threat, what would you do? Fight for it of course. Well, the ego is enabling the ‘right’ or ‘good’ to fight to live and the ego is also enabling the ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ to fight for it’s right to live.
Imagine if instead of simply chanting positive things about yourself in order to change something, you transformed it by facing it with compassion, understanding, love and dignity. If someone stood before you and extended these qualities out to you, you would undoubtedly feel relaxed, safe, flexible and loved. This being true, why would you not extend those qualities to every expression of yourself?
The more you judge something, the more it will contract in fear, feeling unsafe and threatened or being ‘taken out’. This releases toxicity in the body and mind creating an energetic stance of wanting or feeling the need to fight back, to defend its existence. The ego is playing out its game.
If you can face that part of your personality and self you wish to transform and take it to your inner world where there is no duality or judgement, merely compassion, understanding, love and dignity. See that it is not creating the harmonious outcomes or feeling that you desire, that it is indeed fractured from your true and authentic self already perfect. Then it will relax and no longer have the need to fight to be noticed and keep itself alive. Now you have the peace of self acceptance and the conflict and pain can be released. Put to rest!
If you stay living in the ego, life will be a constant push/pull or conflict and striving for some false outer perfection.
Let me say. The truth is the perfection already exists within you.
There is a safe place to be and it is deep within the inner realms of the true and authentic self. Come back to yourself and draw upon the variety of tools that will help you realize self (self realization) and find true self-empowerment. You will know when you are there because you will truly feel at peace.
