    Welcome, once again, my fellow friends and readers. I have been on a search for some truths about the Ego and have come to some great Insights during my quest.

    I shall assure you that these insights will make something happen to you. Something positive and life enhancing. And that, my dear audience, is all that I truely wish to bring to you through this
    message of Clarity.

    So let us begin, and embark on a journey to get to know a very essential part of our human-life experience a bit better, so that we can know how to get in harmony with that very part, which is
    none other than our Ego… THE HUMAN EGO!
    ——————————————————————

    See, on my spiritual path and mission to become the best of myself I can ever be in this Lifetime(by evoking and properly utilising my potential to the fullest), I stumbled upon the topic of two of some of the greatest problems we all face – that we have to overcome in order to raise our vibration as energy beings plus our conciousness.

    And we all know (if not yet then atleast starting from now), that raising our Energetic Vibration to get closer to being in tune with who we really are as in, our Divine Selves/Higher Selves (in order
    to have pure clarity through the connection to our All Knowing Selves) means that we have to raise our Conciousness and Awareness in each and every Aspect of our lives.

    All aspects of our lives deal with our Thoughts, Emotions and Responses towards situations we encounter. And given the thoughts, emotions and responses we have at certain times depending on certain situations, we as energy beings, always give off an energy that vibrates matchingly to what we think, feel and how we respond to all situations in our lives. And the more all those three factors are posititve, the higher our vibration that we give off will be and that in turn will bring benefits to us like better health, boosted intuition and psychic abilities, better brain function and cognitive skills, less stress, boosted memory function, less anxiety or fear (Fear = False evidence appearing real = Illusion) and so much more.

    So we should all do ourselves a favour and try to become concious of our thoughts, emotions and responses to all situations we encounter in life.

    Back to the main topic here, having or gaining more Awareness in these aspects means:
    – conciously deciding on what we think (Thoughts factor),
    – choosing what we feel in each and every moment (Emotions factor),
    – and the way we respond towards all situations in life (Response factor) in a certain way!

    Let me make this easier. I can picture some of your lovely dear faces still having some problems with what you have read till now. So here it is in a much more easier way to digest.

    All we have to do is to take responsibility. Responsibility comes from being responsible. The word responsible has 2 words combined together = Response and Able.

    Still hard to get?

    Well, I also still didn‘t get it at this point. So let us go even further.

    Why should we take responsibility? And what does all that have to do with the Ego and being in harmony with it?
    Patience, patience. One thing at a time.

    Now, what I mean with taking responsibility is as follows:
    See, many people nowadays hardly have any control over their thoughts, emotions and the way they respond to certain situations in life. Most of us are always having thoughts over something or someone, that were partly infused into us by our sorroundings, the media, family members and relatives or dear friends and close ones. So the thoughts we tend to have are 70% not truely our own pure thoughts. Moving on to the emotions, our thoughts are interconnencted and related to our emotions and vice-versa.
    Most of the times, our emotions sweep us off our feet, regardless of them being positive or negative and supportive or non-supportive to us. Once again, these emotions are brought by or ignited and influenced by our sorroundings, loved ones, the media, family and so on and so forth. We are known to be a certain individual with certain habits and certain patterns of behaviour and we are expected to act in certain ways given our social status and the person or individual people believe us to be. We – just being humans who all wish to feel love and be accepted, we of course most of the times give in to those expectations and then it happens … we act on impulse. And that too, can be negative or positive!

    What have we learnt till now?
    If you check what you have just read, you will notice that we hardly, fully decide for ourselves,what we think of, what we want to feel like in each and every moment, and how we should respond to certain situations in the most optimal way with the least damage caused to us or our sorroundings. And there you have it. That is what taking responsibility is all about.

    Taking responsibility just means, that we decide for ourselves what we want to think about (negative or positive thoughts), what we want to feel within (negative or positive emotions = Energy in Motion) and how we want to react to a situation at hand – regardless of what family or loved ones think or expect and want, regardless of all the morals of society and norms set up by the media and our own beliefs of religion or culture.

    Why am I preaching about taking responsibility so much?
    Because therein, lies the key to understanding and working harmoniously with our Ego.

    See, whenever you do not decide for yourself what you are thinking of and in what way, or what you want to feel like during a certain situation or moment, and how you should react at a given time without letting your uncontrolled emotions and thoughts overwhelm you, you are more or less in your Auto-Pilot mode. And who is the Auto-Pilot? Yep … you got that right. It is your Ego.

    All decisions made unconciously, feelings felt without fully having control over them, thoughts thought without conciously choosing them and our responses made on an impulse are all signs of THE EGO in control of your human life experience and not your True Self.

    As Ralph Smart (The owner of the Infinite Waters channel on Youtube) would say; Let us dive deeper!

    Whenever you are comfronted with a situation in life and you are unsure, uncertain, anxious and afraid to make a decision or answer to it in any way, that is never you (as in your True Being, True
    Self, the unbiased and unprogrammed You, the Pure You, your Core Self). It is always the Ego and that is how you can know you are not fully in charge of your own Life Experience. Still moving around through life in the Ego mode / Auto-Pilot mode.

    See, I used to think that the ego in spirituality was the same as the ego in daily life that comes from being egoistic and selfishly only caring about yourself and all, but there was more to it.

    The Ego in spirituality is the main Boss on our spiritual path, growth and endeavor of reuniting our Body – Mind – Spirit into one harmonious and perfect being of energy.
    Bringing the spiritual into matter and reconnecting those polarities. And that is when we hit the point of duality and it all starts to make sense.

    The Ego, is like an image our Core Self within us creates (eversince childhood), due to our sorroundings as in family, friends, relatives that are already influenced by the media and educational systems which taught them certain ways to behave and be to be able to fit into society and function properly as a part of the mass, so that we lose even more control of ourselves by being mostly sorrounded by those who hardly have any control over themselves and thus, resulting in us having the same educational programmings and media influences matching to our society and cultures and beliefs and religions, which all give the Ego Self more authority to take over our Life Experience.

    Fore, when we are young, we learn at a very early age that, behaving, thinking and feeling like our Core Selves is mostly a mistake. Then we are put in schools to pummel the validation of not being allowed to be ourselves into us. And then we get back home (most of us) only to have the validation of what we learnt in school being applied around us. And from then on, we subconciously decide to create a version of Another part of us … something akin to a younger copy of us, that can take on all the expectations and programmings and become them, which results in the birth of our Ego that can then take over the steering wheel for our Life Experience while we sit back and curl our Core Selves up in a shell that lets us rest from the Reality that rejected us.

    In other words, our Core Selves are within us all, sleeping and waiting to be awakened to a worldthat will let them be who they are. The time for being in Auto-Pilot mode has come to an end.

    See, we live in a reality made up of the system of Duality. Duality is, the state in which we live in where we constantly differentiate one thing from another. Duality allows us to lable and gauge
    something to be:
    Good or Bad, Hot or Cold, Positive or Negative, Ugly or Beautiful, Old or New, Fast or Slow and so many more polarities you can think of. Duality allows the existence of polarities. And what every enlightened person realises on their journey to Enlightenment is that, Duality is also an Illusion. Just like Fear (False evidence appearing real).

    Realising that the system of Duality is an Illusion means that one has come to terms with the
    CONCEPT OF ONENESS.
    Everything is connected to one another. Dark and Light, Good and Bad,Funny and Boring, Cold and Hot, Sweet and Sour (okay, those were some lame examples), thing is, everything is Energy and all Energy has a Source we tend to call God or Allah and some scientists might say Cosmic Intelligence. I say, Source Energy. We are all just different expressions of Source Energy experiencing itself. We are all interconnected yet we still maintain our own individuality. So Light is Dark and Dark is Light. All we call polarities are one and the same, yet we have to experience them as polarities for a full human experience to master certain lessons in life for the soul to mature from the experience gained from them. And that which holds us or keeps us chained the most to duality is our EGO / Auto-Pilot.

    That is the reason why taking responsibility of our thoughts, emotions and responses towards all situations in life is the key to reawakening our True Selves and thus, taking back our power over our Human Life Experience from our Ego Self / Auto-Pilot, which in turn (the more we practice taking responsibility) gives us more Awareness over our lives, thus raising our Conciousness with positivity and resulting into a raised energetic vibration that takes us higher as beings of energy – bringing us closer to our Divine and All knowing Higher Selves / Higher divine Conciousness or the so called Oversoul.

    Now that was some deep diving we did there.

    THE PART OF THE HARMONY.
    —————————————————————–

    Number one fact on dealing with the Ego = You will never get rid of it. You can also not delete the Ego Self for good / once and for all.

    The Trick lies in how you view the Ego. What helped me was the following mentality:

    I heard from many sources that I should learn to love myself with all my heart. And that in loving myself, I would open up gates within me that were long forgotten and sealed off. And that by loving myself unconditionally (regardless of who thinks what about me), I would be reaching out my Hand to my Higher Self and Oversoul that resonates with loving myself. Because loving myself means accepting myself for who I am – as I am, and me being an expression of Source Energy, I would be automatically also be loving the God I AM and that is the true state of Being for every person. And also by learning to love myself unconditionally, I would start to tolerate others more and learn to see the beauty in them and my sorroundings. My heart center (Heart Chakra) would open up due to me appreciating myself and all creation and voila`, that would pierce through The Veil and reconnect me to my Higher Self.

    Little did I know, that learning to love myself unconditionally and tolerating other humans – or even ever getting to the point of seeing a certain light and beauty beyond physical beauty in everyone
    and all creation meant for me to set myself free from the polaritisations of duality and retaking my power of myself back from my Ego.

    But I tried and noticed something. The Ego Self, was one I as my True Self created. It is more like a mirror version of myself that all these 24 years of my life has tried to keep me safe from all situations life threw at us (me and the ego self). It really went through hell and did all it could. My Ego Self was filled with traumas from relationships with family members and situations in life where death was always right around the corner, times when my ego self cried in loneliness that the pain from psychological and physical torture was too much to handle, resulting into black outs. And still, my Ego Self stayed strong throughout all those uncertainties and fearful times and brought me to a point where it allowed for the shell to my Core Self to crack and set an Awakening of sorts in motion. As I realised that, I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

    Tears of gratitude I had for my wonderful Ego Self. True, in my auto-pilot mode, I might‘ve made some grave decisions and acted on impulse here and there. But, knowing how hard I, in my Ego Mode tried, always giving it my best … all that was left in my heart was endless deep Love to that part of myself. And I thanked my Ego Self, as I sat down in my room on a quiet day. Spoke to it like I would speak to my best friend and then asked for my Ego Self to let go of Control. It had fought enough. It was now my turn, and I would do my best to learn from all its‘ efforts from all the years of our Life as Humans till to that day (which was around the second week of April 2015. As in, recently this year). I asked for my Ego Self to give me the power to stand firm whilst I tried my best at being or living up to my True and Core Self. Why? Because the Ego Self is a power house. A double edged sword of sorts that can either be positive and supportive or devastative and destructive depending on if the Ego Self is in control of ones Life and how the Individual deals with the Ego Self.

    I chose to work together with that part of myself and love it just as much as I love all other parts of myself within and without. I tried my best to awaken to my True Self, breaking away more and more of the Shell I had been dreaming in (as I was in auto-pilot mode) by opening up all of my Chakras (Energy Vortexes of the Body) to further ease the burden on my Ego Self.

    And after I stepped beyond that line of realisations and Insights, I noticed great changes within me. Like a great load of weight had been taken off my spiritual body. All the paradigms and belief systems I had tried so hard to fit into and abide by were now more or less irrelevant. I only focused on the Truths of all Truths = Cosmic Truths based on metaphysicality, esoterics and spiritual teachings I could find and resonated with from all my analog and digital sources.

    I started to have fun in life as I was nolonger tied to surpressing my true nature. Everything around me started looking more colourful and brilliant, as if the universe was showing me its‘ true self in
    response to my honesty of living from my Core Self and emanating that to the outside.

    People who were in disalignment with my new ways of living suddenly started vanishing from my life experience and I met new people in really funny ways, who were in tune with who I was becoming. I found sites where I could freely talk about spirituality and all I was interested in without being judged and my body and soul were being recalibrated, taking me to new heights to support me on my persuit to the pinnacles of my potential.

    It felt like I had cleared my inner streams from their blockages (physically, mentally and spiritually). And that led me to starting to regularly meditate (About 10 to 20 minutes per day) and from then
    on, the wonders just got more wonderful.

    All in all, I am thankful to all synchronities of divine guidance that happened due to me attracting them (asking for answers), which came to me and ended up in me having a life with growing Awareness and Conciousness and Wellbeing on all levels.

    And that is why, my dear audience, I felt an urge to share this information with you. So that for those, who might find this helpful, can use this information to their hearts‘ content and be elavated with more clarity than before.

    I thankyou all for staying with me till to the very end of this journey. I wish you an abundance of Clarity and bid you farewell.

    Once again, May we all reunite with our true selves through Clarity.

    Much Love,

    Mathiaus Matt Smith from Germany.
