Limitations and the Egoic Mind
Let’s talk limitations and the egoic mind. You cannot fight against the ego and win. You have to ask it to step aside and remove itself from the situation. Spirit can help you to release your ego for the highest good in moments, but the ego comes with your body, this 3D version of your soul. So, you can never FULLY be rid of it. You can, however, release its hold ever now and then until your ego becomes the passenger and occasional driver. When the ego is the full driver of your life. It is the one who attaches to things. It attaches to thoughts. The thought that someone or something is yours or meant to be in your life. Your ego desires full connectivity in a tangible way and your higher self understands that you are connected to so much more in an exorbitantly larger capacity/ Your ego places you in the concept of ownership rather than in flow and connectivity. This is your mind identifying things, placing limits and labels on them, and creating a block or a hold on them in ways that you now feel stuck.
When you can recognize the negative, obsessive thoughts that replay over and over you begin to awaken to the hold your ego has on you. Your awareness of the thought without being a part of the thought brings you into a higher state of being. You are no longer fully controlled by those thoughts. You will awaken more and more throughout your life until the day you die, but the egoic mind will not rule you. The more people who awaken to the collective consciousness the more the egoic mind will dissipate and the more the collective will come together to unite in a way that has never been seen before. There are so many light and shadow workers here now that there will be quantum shifts and healing throughout the world.
The limitations that you place on yourself all stem from the egoic mind. You are more than a man or woman, son, daughter, child, adult, whatever your career is, whatever trauma you have been through. You are more than your gifts or experiences. You are infinite. Stop labeling yourself. Part of this is the egoic mind needing to wrap its brain around something. Humans work through issues by placing labels on them. If you can take the labels off an understand then it is all happening for you. Sometimes you really don’t need to understand to be able to flow through life. The more you flow the faster it goes. Meaning the more you surrender to the divine, to spirit, the faster you move into your elevated space of awakening. You are doing the work and therefore you achieve your goal sooner. Why do you feel as though you need to understand everything? It is preprogrammed in you from a young age to make sense of things, to make sense of everything. Your parents, teachers and society are very limiting. I don’t mean this in a bad way or to negate what you have learned from those you love and adore. I simply mean to say that society has kept us boxed in and kept us from being individuals.
Think of this like the Divergent series. A divergent could be all things, they could be Dauntless, the brave ones who protected others and were essentially security. They could be Amity, the kind ones connected to the land. They had the ability to tap into their intelligence like Erudite or be honest like Candor or even selfless like Abnegation. These factions divided the people based on what they could be. They were limited and labeled and separated from their families. Faction before blood. They couldn’t be all things because all things made you different and you couldn’t be controlled. The more you couldn’t be controlled by society the more of a threat you were and the more dangerous you were to society, those in control and damaging the system. This is a fairly accurate representation of our society today. They send out so much propaganda and try to control the people through fear mongering and separating the collective and pinning them against each other. When you can release your beliefs, labels and limitations and realize that you are all things already you become divergent. You become powerful and authentic and allow yourself to pave a new way for others to follow.
Part of the limitations that you are feeling are within the mind and what the brain can see and comprehend. The human mind sees only a fraction of what is actually in front of them. There are so many more colors in the spectrum that we can comprehend. Optical illusions can alter your sense of reality and you need to be able to fully quantify and label something in order to “make sense” of it. You can be in a public place and witness the same event as many others and every single person will have a different account and different perspective of the experience. Eyewitness accounts can be inaccurate because of the judgement in the mind and the perspectives from your past experiences and trauma. How you view the world is generally through your egoic mind. When you begin to take the limitations and labels off you transcend the narrative you have had and level up in so many different ways. It is difficult at first, but it does get easier.
You won’t always be stuck in your over analysis or in the pain from the past. You have to dive deep to uproot everything that is interconnected to be able to clear it all away. Think of your trauma like a necklace that has gotten tangled. You need it to be free of the knots to work properly. Everything inside of you is all interconnected but in order to wear the necklace you have to take the knots out. Sometimes it takes a lot of finesse and finagling to get those tiny knots out of the chain without breaking it. Once the knots are out you can adorn the chain with any charm or gem you want to. But until you get those knots out it won’t function properly. You can still wear the chain that is knotted but it reaches a different level once it is free from the trauma. This basically correlates to your channel with spirit. All of these limitations and distortions keep your channel stuck or unclear almost like a brain fog. Work on clearing the channel and your distortions by doing the work, surrendering, and having faith in the unknown and the more you open up to the possibilities.
You can release your limitations by stillness. Stillness can bring in the thoughts that you need to see to help you progress on your path, in so you deal with your inner space. What is your inner space it is your inner consciousness and all of who you are, your spirit, your lifeblood your soul. It is the freedom from ego and your need to have any attachments to anything at all in life. It is the removal of who you are with all of the labels and your true connection to spirit. It is within you, and you can tap into it at any moment. It gives you space to breathe through the pain and process your thoughts. It negates the labels and connects you to spirit and to your true essence. It takes the significance away from the attachments in your life. Everything within you is connected to everything within the universe and when you tap into that inner space, that universal connectivity to all you let go of suffering, of attachments and you move into that true joy and all-knowing thinking that is guided by spirit. You get to know all things and can move out of negativity and fear. You can tap into this by staying in the present moment and connecting to your breath and all of your senses. Use your breath to connect to every aspect of your body and how it lights up all of the energy within your body. Use that breath to take bring you into connection with every cell of your body. Use that breath and the air on your skin, what you feel around you, what you hear and taste. Allow yourself to be fully present which brings you out of your egoic mind and the obsessive rumination that is happening and allows you to tap into the moment you are aware of your thoughts but not ruled by them which brings you into the inner moment, space, connectivity to your mind and spirit.
This connects you to your I am presence. What is the I am presence? It is I am that I am. It is your God consciousness, your divine self, that holy spirit within you. There is no separation in time and space, but on what is. It is the highest timeline and the highest vibration of you. You are the living God. Every single human on Earth is. Not everyone taps into it and not everyone taps in at the same time. When you remove your limitations, you embody this version of you which puts you in touch with your true, loving, divine purpose. You mind is the one limiting your growth and the more you can step out of this need to box things in, understand, label and limit everything, the more you step into your power and connect to spirit. Allow yourself to take baby steps with this and over time it becomes a full practice and a new way of life. You have so much potential, you just have to believe it and know you are so much more than you currently think you are.
