How much can You lose?
IN 1987, when I was just beginning to contact my Higher Self, I knew about 2% of what is on this site. I had no mentors nor courses nor books to guide me. I was chronically and critically ill. I had over 150 energy blocks. By innovating and putting pieces of the puzzle together, I managed to eliminate 40 of my energy blocks in a short period of time and appear to regain much of my physical health.
PHYSICAL HEALTH DOES NOT DETERMINE SUCCESS.
My health had improved tremendously by my finding how to contact my Higher Self and following the guidance it provided me with. There was still a huge problem. I knew that in the early stages of block release and Higher Self guidance that the guidance could be experienced much like trying to hear a shortwave broadcast through unbearable static and background noise. Indeed, I had found it necessary to test and retest a great number of times to get a clear "signal" that I knew was coming from my Higher Self.
HOW DID I KNOW THE SOURCE ?
The Higher Self cannot and will not ever lie to you.
So, in this compromising situation, I asked immediately after receiving each answer to a main question, if the answer had come from my Higher Self. The other contributors to our identity do not lie either ... they simply assert themselves according to their role of responsibility. They cannot say they are what they are not. It would show an inability to accept their part ... the reason for their existence.
IN HIGHLY DEMANDING SITUATIONS drawing on old experiences and training --- whether reinforced by energy blocks, or, simply by Unconscious familiar patterns of reaction --- we can weaken in our Personal Spirit management of our Identity team. We may be asked by others, or assume (with self-importance) that we "should" make decisions in public potentially determining our
- long-term income,
- our public image and prestige, or,
- our material security.
PUBLIC DISPLAY AROUSES OUR EGO.
This is limits our ability to access spiritual guidance.
An aroused Ego is a proud Ego ... and it wants the credit.
A lack of self-discipline to humble oneself and request or take a few minutes in privacy to enter a state of Reverence and No-Emotion --- empowers our Ego or SuperEgo to step in.
OVERCONFIDENCE from past successes of accessing Higher Self guidance and our ability to acquire it on many other decisions in the Now can result in our becoming lax in self-discipline. For the sake of a few minutes, we may sacrifice a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity, a marriage, or, our faith. We simply will not be aware of it until later --- when the damage done becomes obvious and our Ego or SuperEgo can no longer make excuses (rationalizations as to why we were right).
AN EXAMPLE:
A 1988 CAN $5 million 30-estate lot subdivision AND a marriage were sacrificed to Ego interference. Initially, two sources of financing were lost because of a 30-day municipal bureaucracy delay on matters they had informed me would be cleared in 2 days. It had taken me a year of networking, researching, promoting and presentations to find the two during a period of province-wide financial institution restructuring.
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, another investor offered an alternative.
I had 20 subcontractors waiting.
I had invested my own and shareholder's monies.
I had personally designed the housing for health enhancement ... and had received unheard of support from a major public institution. I had a market waiting which no one else had approached. I wanted to provide a safe refuge and work environment for myself and 29 other hypersensitive families. It had taken a strong Ego to get this far.
AN EGO CHALLENGED is an Ego empowered.
The new offer came from a small investment firm which wanted to proceed one house at-a-time rather than do all 30 at once. Alarm bells! There went efficiency and cost control as well as availability of contractors. Completing the 30 units could take years done in this serial fashion. Instead of moving my family into one of the houses with other buyers in 3 to 5 months, I would have to take the last completed house. My profit would have to be spread over several years full-time work, rather than over 6 months. More alarms!! The housing designs ... My housing designs ... which I had toiled over and intensively researched for 14 months ... were ALL to be discarded. A cheaper and less healthy design was proposed. More alarms!!!
TWO CHANCES ARE NO BETTER THAN NONE.
Twice, I was approached.
Each time, I felt it necessary to make a rushed decision ... and my Ego obliged. Within 6 months, the project disintegrated. I was penniless and in debt. A year later, my marriage disintegrated. Two years later, after releasing more energy blocks, becoming more adept at accessing my Higher Self, and growing more aware of some of the information on these pages --- I knew what had happened ... and could acknowledge it. My Ego has known its place since. And, with respect for it, it became part of my Identity TEAM --- not just a player looking for control, authority, and power.
10% of the NORTH AMERICANS I have worked with have reached a critical threshold of personal advancement sometime during release of all of their energy blocks. In all these cases, a part of their identity has disrupted their communication with their Higher Self. That is, the Higher Self guidance intended for them is perverted by their Ego or SuperEgo.
This almost always occurs only in one or two areas of the person's decision-making. This makes one's awareness of the reality much more difficult than if ALL areas were influenced. Had they not released some energy blocks, their opportunities now would have been smaller and their failure also. Now, opportunities will present which, if followed with Higher Self guidance will provide almost unbelievable success. The downside is unbelievable failure.
THIS IS THE WEAKEST POINT OF SELF-BALANCING.
No therapy is perfect. If you know the weaknesses, you can appreciate them and guard against them. If you are totally by yourself, and are in the 10% ... there is no protection. You will simply have to endure a failure ... and grow from it. That is because this type of dominant Ego or SuperEgo interference is undetectable to you, the subject. If others are around, are perceptive and informed ... they may notice your Ego-centric decisions being made. Chances are that even if such is the case and they confide it to you, your domineering Ego will give you lots of denial, doubt, distrust, and rationalized deception to maintain your overconfidence.
CERTAIN AND POSSIBLE SAFEGUARDS include requesting feedback from another person whom you know well enough and long enough to know that they have strong Higher Self guidance and strong self-management skills. While this is possible --- and will save you from a great amount of Ego pain in which you feel you are having to totally give up your identity --- the Ego dominated person will likely avoid it. Relying on Higher Self guidance from another is simply too humbling for an Ego that believes it can rule the world and that it somehow now has God in support of it.
GETTING PAST THIS HURDLE, for the few who are presented with it, means that you will have the opportunity to provide an even greater positive spiritual contribution to the world. Failure has no doubt been the example of many persons who in the past fell from grace to become the devils we remember with names like Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, and scores of others. Success often contributes to great advances in medicine, politics, and the social sciences. Your name probably won't be known by most people or remembered by any --- so there is no Ego encouragement, except ... a valuable contribution and a much fuller life than is otherwise possible.
Demands of Teamwork.
Self-direction demands that we acknowledge reality.
To know reality is to ...
- make decisions for today leading to tomorrow;
- humbly go where others fear to go for lack of guidance;
- acknowledge that others can do many things better than you;
- appreciate the gifts and limits of your Basic Personality;
- empower your Personal Spirit by deterring and avoiding abuse;
- respect your Reptilian unconscious for its survival concerns;
- reward and discipline your Ego for its assistance;
- caution and plan with your SuperEgo for the long-term;
- give thanks for the guidance of your Higher Self.
Get real, or you will go nowhere fast.
Managing Your Ego.
YOUR EGO IS EXPRESSED consciously and rationally most of the time.
When teamed with your Reptilian Unconscious structure, it is expressed as either self-taught habits or as traumatically derived Energy Block addictions. Rationalizations are frequently not a sign of intelligence. That perception is often taught by authoritarian institutions.
Rationalizations are more frequently expressions of denial, justification, excuse, blame, and best guess. None of these are factors of intelligence ... just convenient ways to avoid feelings of confusion and anxiety and to assume false pride rather than humility. Acknowledge this to your Ego. Express your desire to have more accurate and relevant decision-making than the 50% success rate with rationalization. Then you will have taken a giant step. Here are some other factors that can assist you in managing your Ego.
- Appoint your Personal Spirit as the Manager of your Identity Team;
- Know and build on the features of your Basic Personality;
- Be aware of and acknowledge the positive contributions of your Ego;
- Keep a record of guided decisions and their positive outcomes;
- Note and remind your Ego of inappropriate decisions it encouraged;
- Get going on releasing your Energy Blocks and increasing your skills;
- Take adequate rest so that your Unconscious can do its maintenance;
- Learn about Hypersensitivities and avoid or recover from them so that your Unconscious is not distracted and overburdened with chronic illness.
