I am all that I see. All of it. The details may be different, and if I focus on them, I will feel forever separated and alone. My Ego wants to be better than, because it feels less than. My Ego wants to be right, because it fears being wrong and making mistakes. My Ego wants to fight and argue with you, because it values winning over connection. My Ego wants to label everything....put it all in it's proper place, because it believes that it has the wisdom to see where things belong. My ego equates changing you, with changing the world to a better place, because it is so afraid to see the ways that I make the world less loving.
My heart sees only the good, that becoming aware of my ego and the ways it causes misery, can only manifest in good. My heart sees that it is worth the risk, to see myself in all others. When I see bad in someone, it truly is the reflection of my own ego. When I see good (god) in someone, It is a reflection of the good (god) in myself. Sometimes I am just as blind to my goodness as to my unlovingness, and I feel less than the good I see in others. The mirrors of others reflect all that I am.
My heart energy, automatically shines light on my ego and I see it for what it is. It is not me. It is the residue of the conditioning of a world gone mad. The only way I find sanity in a world gone mad, is to recognize things of my ego, and choose heart energy instead.
I saw God the other day, and he looked like me, and he looked like you. My ego is a gift. It shows me where I need healing. My heart is a gift. It knows how to heal and love my ego. Your ego is a gift to me. Your ego's reflection in me, shows me where I still need healing....where my own beliefs need adjusting.
I saw God the other day, and he looked like me, and he looked like you.
Be the Love

Wow, this is awesome! I love it and agree very much. In the midst of learning to love all things with my heart, It's easy for me to still detest my ego. As if shunning it makes me more enlightened... But the ego needs to be loved and healed too!
Loving the "enemy" is one of the most powerful "weapons" that we have in diffusing attack and removing all peacelessness from our lives...Thank you for sharing Lori!
I love this.....I understand exactly what you are saying here. I see a lot of myself in people who rub me the wrong way, lol, and it is very helpful in emotional growth and healing that I see things that make my blood boil, because it tells me that before I go condemning the person who has lit my fuse, that maybe I better stop and think about what it is in me that is triggered, and work on myself some more, and heaven knows I have a LOT of soulwork to do. My whole life has been filled to the brim with bitter circumstances and very difficult and sometimes even abusive people, and an abusive species messing with me to throw in the mix. I figure if I can allow myself to love them and appreciate that they are all part of the source of the whole, that I am gaining in growth. The most exasperating and mentally trying people that have been in my life have helped me the most along my spiritual path, oddly enough. It is much easier to be angry at people and even abhor to be around them than it is to let go and see the goodness that is lurking out of view.....much easier to "hate" than to love when people do things to you that are painful emotionally than it is to love them anyway, knowing they are learning their lessons too. My ego gets in my way a lot of the time, we constantly spar....but the practice of putting the ego in its proper perspective is most healing and therapeutic indeed. Wonderful post, and thanks so much for sharing this.
