How To Connect With Angels
Angels are wonderful beings from the higher astral and mental realms. They can help a great deal in all your problems and issues that are bothering us. They provide us with loving messages from God, which will help us in many ways. The Angels try their best to make their messages clear to us through many subtle ways such as through dreams, thoughts, emotions, or a sudden knowingness. They are very open to contact and have been helping “behind the scenes” in peoples’ lives without them even realizing it.
We yearn to communicate with angels and seek their help in problematic situations, or hope that they can help us open the gates to the higher dimensions and frequencies. Whatever the reason for angelic contact, we can do so very easily. We simply have to ASK. That is it! The Angels can only help us if we ask for their help. They are absolutely willing to help no matter how small the problem seems to be, but you have to ask for them to help due to the law of freewill. When we ask aloud or in our minds, “Angels!”, they instantly appear beside us.
At first it is difficult to perceive them but gradually you will be able to sense their presence or see them as you open up your psychic abilities. They have their ways to make themselves known to you. It’s just that most people are not “open” enough or just aren’t at the right vibrational frequency to do so. What do I mean by the “right vibrational frequency”? Angels hold very high vibrations and our vibrations have to at least synchronize with theirs to facilitate contact. When we have negative emotions (such as anger, jealousy, guilt, hatred, etc), it is very difficult understand or even realize their messages for us, and thus we are unable to “hear” them even though we keep screaming for help. We have to be in the positive state of mind and then just ask.
They usually convey their messages to us by our thoughts. This is very critical as most of the time, their messages are distorted by our wishful thinking or totally ignored. When we ask and sort of hear a reply, we instantly cast that off as talking to ourselves, though in some cases it is really the case. There is a way to check whether it’s the ego speaking to you or your Angels. Angels always give you loving, assuring, and inspiring messages while the ego always speak in fear, confusion and negativity. You will slowly be able to discern their messages from the ego as you hold conversations with them regularly. You can also commune with them through clairvoyance or clairaudience to make their messages crystal clear.
Angels have many gifts to share with us and they can also heighten our psychic abilities. When I first noticed my Angels’ presence and started communing with them, their messages are mostly unclear, but after many challenges and difficulties, I slowly understood them. They told me that in times of difficulty and panic, it’s challenges our faith in them and our ability to communicate with them. So after all these are grueling and torturous life lessons, which make us miserable, but in turn trains us and make us much better people, believe me. Almost everyone has to go through the first few stages of learning to trust their intuition and working with Angels. Just like learning any other skill, the beginning of training is always the hardest, but after putting some effort, you get the hang of it and reaping its rewards. Enjoy the process of spiritual growth, have patience and hold fast to universal love, and your efforts will pay off.
When you’ve learned how to communicate with them, a new adventure full of surprises, excitement, love and joy opens up, as the Angels lead you to unlimited journeys to the higher planes. I work with them when I do healings, distant or “live”, and it makes my sessions much easier and more effective. I invite them in my meditation, and every time they guide me to the higher planes so that it’s easier to “talk”, and I finish with a whole lot of information and advice given. They make wonderful companions for spiritual journeying, as they make sure that the journey is aligned with love and the divine will.
When it is the right time, they will appear to us as an image in the mind’s eye (subjective clairvoyance) or physically (objective clairvoyance). I see them as winged human beings with beautiful glows and they light up the whole room I’m in. Everyone perceives them in unique ways but most commonly as what I see. Spheres of light seen by objective clairvoyance are mostly faeries and elementals. Those with more advanced vision see “little people” inside the spheres of light. The spheres of light are their auras but their spirit is harder to perceive. Angels usually appear as human-sized beings with captivating auras extending a few meters. In times of trouble, our personal Angels come to our aid at our “distress calls”. When I face negative entities, which are stronger than me, I instantly summon my Angels. They come with a calm, assuring, and protective atmosphere, driving the negativity far away.
There’re endless explorations and adventures when you begin to open up to the angelic realms, and never-ending experiences and discuss about Angels. Universal love is the key to soul progress the fastest, best, and only way.

Spirituality
Many people request readings about their life purpose and what is in store for them. Why do we study so hard to get good grades when we were young? It is to get a good job and to have more choices in life. Why do we work so hard when we are adults? It is to earn enough money to survive, support our families and to provide for our own material needs. Why do we even live for? The answer is always spirituality.
We reincarnate to Earth to balance our karma and learn life lessons, so that we can go even “higher” when we return. Earth is a tough training school. We go into amnesia and the third dimensional veil is placed upon us, thus we forget our soul origin and purpose. Our lives on Earth are constantly bombarded with problems, filled with misery and pain, but occasionally happiness. People here are very egoistic. They are selfish, jealous, unfriendly, hateful, and make each other miserable. When we are mistreated or criticized by others, we react the same way. It is a challenge to ignore them, and very difficult to react in a loving manner. In the higher astral realms onwards, everyone is very universally loving and compassionate, unlike down here these people make us miserable. They actually make us better people, and believe me, without them there is little spiritual growth. Spirituality is soul progress. It is to raise your vibrational level to the higher dimensions of love and peace, as you break through the illusions of the third and fourth dimensions.
Spirituality is the primary and sole purpose of our existence. No matter how fulfilling our lives seem to be; we have good wives, children, a bungalow with white picket fence, a job with high pay and reaching our material goals, such a life however, has lost its true purpose. Without spirituality, life is forever mundane, miserable, and not meaningful. Spiritual growth can only be attained through the practice of universal love. Universal love is unconditionally loving all life and treating all equally. Extremely difficult as it is, there is a great need for it, as it is necessary to salvage and awaken humanity. Universal love is the key to the higher dimensions. Without love, regardless of how much you develop your psychic abilities, or how powerful you may seem, you will never break through the fourth dimensional illusion. The more love you hold, the higher you vibrate, and the higher your light quotient, as love and light hold hands together. It stands mightier than any other force in the universe.
It is understandable that many people are very detestable, and you simply can’t get yourself to love them. However, if you consider carefully, you were once like them before you understood spirituality. Many practitioners are way laid by the glamour of their powers and knowledge, and see themselves separated from the sea of humanity. This is one of the spiritual pitfalls. All life is equal, and no soul is greater than another no matter how much spiritual progress that soul has made. The sea of humanity is still where you came and started from. You were once unawakened and non-spiritual, and desire happiness like everyone else. Learn to forgive those who inflicted pain on you, physical or emotional, as unforgiveness only gives pain and entrapment. All are one, and all affect one another, and thus there is no separation. The fifth dimension is the beginning of universal love and harmony.
Spirituality is the essence and purpose of all souls. With love your psychic abilities will open up as your vibrations begin to synchronize with the higher dimensions. Everyone in your life can be your teacher, and all events in your life are lessons, which if you don’t learn from it, will continue to pose as problems until you finally learn. Learn well from all life lessons, and most importantly, walk through life with love.

Psychic & Spiritual Healing
Psychic and spiritual healing seems to be the same, but they are totally different levels of healing. These two terms have been confusing people, even healers themselves, as they do not understand the concept. Basically, spiritual healing works on the emotional level and beyond, while psychic healing works on the ethereal level.
Spiritual healing is more subtle, as people are often less aware of the higher levels, but that doesn’t mean it’s weaker or less useful. It can heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, but not physically. It can remove attachments and possessions of various earthbound entities, whether it is animal or human. Spiritual healing is easy to practice, as it only requires visualization, intent, and most importantly universal love. Hence, anyone can learn to spiritually heal, but not all can do it well. There are many types of spiritual healing, reiki, touch healing, prayer healing, angelic healing, crystal healing, healing using spells, etc. The diverse healing methods make it difficult to decide which to practice, but all healing methods are similar as they all require love and light. It is best to use “spiritual healing” itself. “Spiritual Healing” is the most easy and most effective spiritual healing. The healer merely needs to charge him/herself with universal love and healing energies, then radiate and send to the person. The healing energies work on imbalances, blockages, leaks, tears, holes, voids, and other energetic defects in the aura. This is what we call distant healing, and is the most basic form. As lightworkers, we know that time and space are of no limitations; so psychic abilities can be applied in any distance.
A spiritual healer no matter how professional he/she is, finds that dirty energy stuck close to the physical body cannot be pulled out. Any other negative energies in the etheric aura also cannot be healed. That is because the spiritual healer doesn’t know how to use ethereal energy to heal. Generally, spiritual healing is more useful as all physical illness originates from the emotional, mental, and spiritual aura. So as long as the healer works on healing the higher levels long enough and effectively, physical illnesses diminish over time.
Psychic healing is more perceivable, as it heals the etheric aura, which is very close to the physical body. It can heal illnesses, irritations, diseases, and other imbalances of the physical body. However, when it comes to emotional and mental imbalances it has no effect. Psychic healing abilities can only be attained through the practice of qi gong, and no other ways, as qi gong harnesses and increases the energies of the physical body. Psychic healing requires more practice, but once grasped, it is quite easy use. Psychic healing is best done in-person, as not many psychic healers can project such dense energy very far. Psychic healers are unable to channel spiritual energy to heal energetic defects in the higher levels of the aura, thus healing is limited to only the ethereal level.
Both of them are used for different purposes, but neither psychic nor spiritual healing itself is enough. Only when both are combined, then can most powerful and efficient healing take place as it heals all auric bodies and chakras.
The most important thing about healing, is that you need to ask for permission from the person’s higher self. Many healers need to understand that everyone embarks on their own journey, and by removing energetic defects and obstacles, they are depriving the person of growth and learning lessons, as well as repaying negative karma. When a healer notices blocks, negative energy, and other defects in the person’s aura and chakras, he/she cannot just remove them although this is what most healers do. The healer has to ask for permission from the person higher self, verifying that it is right for him to conduct healing, and that it is truly helping instead of hindering the person’s growth. If the healer does healing without considering the law of Karma, then he/she is indirectly doing harm to himself/herself as well as the person. To truly heal people, teach and guide them to the path of love and light, as well as how important it is to practice virtues. Teach them how to clear their chakras and aura for themselves instead of doing it for them. “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
Please be aware that possessing healing abilities is not something special, so are other psychic abilities. It may seem very special or extraordinary in this physical plane, as most people here are of the third and lower fourth dimension. When our charkas are clear, all these abilities open up, and they develop with practice. People living in the modern society have very weak auras and many blocked charkas, as nowadays cities are so polluted in all ways, physically and energetically. It is merely because we have learnt how to clear our charkas that our psychic abilities open up, so it’s nothing special. Being psychic is being natural, as we have cleared many of our blockages which prevent us from experiencing our natural state of being. Not being psychic is being unnatural and “disabled”, as we are trapped in the third dimensional illusion, unable to use our natural abilities and unaware of our true nature.

| Universal Love |
UNIVERSAL LOVE
Love is the only salvation for the growth of humanity and soul evolution. It is essential to be kind and loving to your fellowman. Through this action, you sow the seeds in the hearts of all whom you come into contact. Have faith that the seed will fall on fertile ground, and eventually blossom into the unconditional love for all that is.
Impossible as it may seem, each is connected to one another, so as you treat another, so are you treating yourself. Because of this oneness, you are responsible to help and embrace one another with love. There is no other way for you to ascend, grow spiritually, or know God than through the practice of universal love. Through love will come wisdom, for there is a great need. Life can be full of surprises when one becomes devoted to universal understanding. It is also very exciting as you encounter decipher more and more mysteries, do not be way-laid by the illusion and glamour of the spiritual path.
When you are told of spiritual activities, you automatically try to tune into those vibrations which are being related to you. As you develope, you will find that you are slowly able to see, hear, or feel that which is being communicated to you. This means that you will be able to communicate with vibrations other than your own. A whole new world is being opened up to you, as excitement and growth reveals itself. This will enable you to do so many things than you have ever been able to do before.
Love will always be answered, perhaps not straight away, but it will always be answered. Only in the light of love will miracles occur and nothing else will prevail-it stands mightier than any other force in the universe. Love can heal, uplift, empower other beings and ultimately yourself.

--DIMENSIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS--
First dimensional consciousness is awareness as a point. The consciousness that resonates to this dimension is the mineral kingdom. Current third dimensional science has not proven that minerals have any awareness as we recognize it, but healers and shaman have been using crystals as healing tools for many centuries.
Humans' first dimensional consciousness is "unconscious" to our five physical senses. However, the first dimension is a portion of our bodies and represents the minerals, water, and genetic codes that are the foundation of our physical forms. If we could access this level of our unconscious, we could connect with the entire physical world via its most basic common denominator-the individual molecules. Perhaps we could even consciously access our own genetic coding.
I feel myself upon the first step of my consciousness. I am of the first dimension. I am an atom of carbon, a drop of water, and an imprint upon a strand of DNA. However, I cannot perceive the strand or the other molecules of water and carbon. I am only conscious of the exact point of my awareness. However, as I look inside myself, I find that another world exists, a world of electrons, protons, nuclei, and quarks. I am the gateway between the macrocosm and the microcosm.
Second dimensional consciousness is awareness as point and line. The consciousness that resonates to this dimension is biological matter such as the plant kingdom and the lower animal kingdom. The consciousness of this dimension does not possess self-awareness. These beings are only conscious of their species' identity and their need for feeding, fighting, and procreation. Their consciousness is based upon survival of the fittest and they live solely within the awareness of the moment. Human second dimensional consciousness is centered in the lower brain that directs the autonomic nervous system to regulate and maintain life support functions. Our five physical senses are largely unconscious of this component of ourselves, but with training such as biofeedback and meditations, some conscious awareness and control can be established. Yogis are known to achieve enough conscious control of their autonomic nervous system to regulate their heartbeat and metabolism.
"Primitive" peoples are much more aware of this "animal" portion of their physical form and, therefore, have conscious access to their basic instincts and an awareness of how they are a portion of a greater whole. They, unlike "civilized" man, have a constant respect for all life and the balance of nature.
I feel myself now expand to my second dimensional consciousness. My task is simple. I must survive. I will protect myself and procreate in the proper season. I look neither forwards or backwards and I dwell only in the present. I am what I am and where I am. I neither plan nor reflect. I live to continue the existence of my species. If a human consciousness inhabits my form, I am not aware of it. My perceptions are confined to what I can eat, use, fight, mate with, or rear. However, my "herd" and myself are one. Our instincts guide us and we are a part of nature.
Third dimensional consciousness is awareness of point, line, length, breadth, height, and volume. The primary consciousness of this dimension is the higher animal kingdom and the human kingdom. The humanoid form is composed of all the elements of the first and second dimensional being-water, minerals, genetic coding, and biological matter-as well as an individual soul. It is the individual soul that distinguishes humans from the other members of the animal kingdom who mostly have a group soul.
The third dimension is locked in a time/space and cause/effect paradigm. This dimension is a schoolroom that our Souls attend by inhabiting humanoid physical bodies to learn more about creation. In the third dimension, life mirrors all that we are seeking to understand. Therefore, the process of creating via our thoughts and feelings is slowed down so that we can track the circumstances of what we hold in our consciousness.
The third dimension is known as the conscious world. However, there are different stages of human consciousness aligned in a hierarchical manner that often coincide with our age and stage of life. In the first stage, we are children and we are dependent. In this state of dependency we do not realize that our consciousness holds the seeds of the life we are creating. We believe that we are powerless over our environment and are victims to the circumstances of our lives. It is our goal to gain enough self-awareness as we mature beyond this child-state so that we can become independent.
We are independent when we have learned that we can control our own life. Through our choices and experiences, we have gained trust in our ability to be responsible and we maintain our responsibility because we respect ourselves. This respect is based upon our sense of personal power. Without a sense of personal power we are filled with fear, which reduces us to "surviving".
We enter the dependable stage when we have gained enough trust and respect for ourselves that we can become responsible for others. We have learned that we definitely have an impact, not only on our own life, but also upon the lives of others. Therefore, we feel confident that we are reliable. Unfortunately, people will take responsibility for other people's lives while they are still in the dependent stage or when they have not yet learned to be responsible even for themselves. These actions can create generation after generation of dysfunctional families.
As humans we have the ability to remember the past and the future while remaining aware of the present. However, while using only our third dimensional consciousness much of our past remains forgotten in our unconscious mind and we usually feel a sense of separation from the whole, a feeling of limitation in achieving our desires, and a need to work hard to accomplish our goals.
From third dimensional consciousness, society and "science" seek to prove that the only reality that exists is the one we perceive with our five physical senses and to believe that our perceptions of reality ARE reality. From this state of consciousness, spirit has congealed into matter and our consciousness and our egos are identified ONLY by the physical world. This development of a strong sense of ego is often at the cost of losing our sense of group identity (especially in the western world where individual achievement and possessions often become the most important parts of our lives).
Awareness of our spiritual self can only be remembered when we have expanded our consciousness to encompass the higher dimensions. Then we can release our dependency upon others and heal our sense of powerlessness and victimization. We then become independent in a new sense because we have realized that we, and we alone, are creating our reality. We are thereby more dependable then ever because we are not waylaid from our promises and goals by our own "unconscious" self-sabotage.
Our consciousness then progresses from:
INDIVIDUAL consciousness to ~
GROUP consciousness to ~
COMMUNITY consciousness to ~
NATIONAL consciousness to ~
COLLECTIVE consciousness to ~
PLANETARY consciousness to ~
GALACTIC consciousness
As our consciousness expands, so does our definition of the world in which we live.
I expand my consciousness to the next step. I am three-dimensional. I know of myself as an individual human, but still I struggle for survival. I wish to feed myself, shelter myself, and cover my body. I wish to find a mate and create children. Is there more? Yes, there are feelings and thoughts. With my thoughts I remember my past. My feelings fill these memories with happiness, pain, love, or fear. With my thoughts I plan the future which I desire. But do I have the power to create my life or am I a victim to the world around me?
Fourth dimensional consciousness is awareness of point, length, breadth, height, volume, and time. The fourth dimension is also known as the astral plane and the primary consciousness of this dimension is the astral body, which s also known as the "higher human". The astral body is of a higher vibration than the physical body and is in a form that is known as etheric. The astral plane and astral bodies are an octave jump up in resonant frequency from the third dimension and the perception of past, present, and future becomes more fluid as the third dimensional laws of time and space are changed.
On the fourth dimension, we can reintegrate our group identity without the loss of our personal ego and it is the last vibration where physical vehicles are used to contain individual consciousness. However, because of the fluid nature of time and space our astral forms naturally morph and there is a huge mobility of form. It is the realm of the "shape shifters" that mythology speaks of. A shaman or holy person who can shape shift has learned to ground their astral form upon the third dimension so completely that they can temporarily change their third dimensional form.
Much of our third dimensional life also exists upon the fourth dimension in a higher vibrational format, but we are not aware of it because that reality is NOT in sync with our physical time and space. We can have a dream of an entire lifetime and wake up to find that only five minutes of our physical time has passed. Our astral reality of this, as well as our other physical incarnations, is not perceivable to our third dimensional self unless we have remembered our multidimensional consciousness.
The fourth dimension is the realm of the unconscious mind. Our unconscious mind holds the awareness of our body's first and second dimensional components as well as all our past experiences of this life and all other third dimensional lives. It is the realm of dream life. When we are "asleep", we are unconscious in the third dimension, but we are conscious in the fourth dimension. We can expand our third dimensional consciousness into the fourth dimension through gaining an awareness of the inner-workings of our physical body, remembering our dreams, and having intense experiences of passion, emotion, creativity, and/or spirituality.
Our fourth dimensional astral bodies possess advanced dreaming, imagination, psychic ability, intuition, magic, and creativity. As we expand our mind to be conscious of our unconscious mind, we can experience more and more of these qualities while in our physical form. Some people are born with an innate connection to their fourth dimensional self and must "work" to ground their consciousness in a third dimensional world that often feels foreign and hostile. Others are born without this awakened connection and they usually feel more comfortable and "at home" within the third dimensional paradigm. These people often feel cut off from the higher dimensional portions of themselves and may not even believe that "higher selves" even exist.
Our astral body does exist and its highest vibration is our spiritual guidance. Much like a person upon a mountaintop can observe and guide the residents of the valley below, our higher astral self can observe us upon the third dimension and give us guidance. Through the expanded perception of our fourth dimensional self we can create great changes in our physical world. However, the fourth dimension still has the polarization of light and dark and this realm is not necessarily more loving, especially upon the lower sub-planes. Upon the fourth dimension, thought and feelings create reality much more quickly than upon the third dimension and fear can create evil as easily as love can create beauty and joy.
There are different planes of consciousness in the fourth. The lower Astral plane holds the invisible emanations of all the fear and negativity that is projected into it from the physical plane. The lower Astral has been known as Hell, with Purgatory being above that. Fourth dimensional consciousness feeds into and extends from third dimensional emotions and is often known as the "realm of emotion". The lower astral, which holds the third dimension's negative emotions, is not a pleasant experience and a path must be forged through it into the higher sub-planes-such as Faerie.
The Land of Faerie, which we read about as children in our "Fairy Tales", actually exists upon the middle fourth dimension. Faerie acts as respite after we have forged our pathway through the fear and darkness of the lower astral plane. After we have experienced Faerie, we can travel in our fourth dimensional consciousness (or fourth dimensional bodies) into the Emotional (also known as the Astral Plane) and Mental Plane to learn mastery of our emotions and thoughts. Upon the Causal Plane (which is also known as the Higher Mental Plane) we can learn the cause and effect of how thoughts and feelings create our world. The Spiritual plane connects us to our higher guidance.
The fourth dimension is like a stream that creates a bridge into the higher dimensions. The base of the bridge is where the physical and astral body overlap. This area is known as the etheric body. The etheric body is of a vibration between the third and fourth dimension. The etheric body encompasses the physical body and extends beyond it a few inches.
Each of the sub-planes of the Astral Plane has a correlate body. Each of these astral bodies is of a higher vibration than the latter. For example, the emotional body is higher in vibration than the etheric body and extends beyond it. Overlaid on the emotional body is the mental body, which is also of higher vibration, and extends beyond the emotional body. Then the causal body, again another increase in vibration, overlays the other bodies and extends beyond them. The final astral body is the spiritual body, which is the highest in vibration and extends beyond all the other bodies. However, all the astral bodies exist over, under, around, and through the physical body, but they cannot be seen by our five physical senses. see diagram #1
If we can perceive the fourth dimension consciously, we can expand our awareness enough to cross that bridge into our superconscious mind of the fifth dimension. We navigate travel into and through the fourth dimension with our desires, thoughts, and emotions. A metaphor of this would be sailing upon the ocean. We are the boat, the ocean is the astral plane, the location we wish to reach is our desire, our thoughts are the sail and the steering, and the wind is our emotions.
If our emotions are fearful and tumultuous we will have an uncomfortable ride. Even though our desire is for the higher planes of the fourth dimension, our personal imbalance will limit our entry to the lower astral plane where fear, which is the lack of emotional balance, rules. If we wish to journey to the higher planes of the fourth dimension we must keep our thoughts harmonious and our feelings centered in the infinite balance of love. In that manner, we can experience all the planes of the astral world. Then we can travel the astral "bridge" into the higher worlds.
I step into the fourth dimension. I see my connection to all of life and to my third dimensional selves on the step below me. However, I still experience myself as an individual. My reality is very mutable now. Persons and places change quickly, but I am aware that it is my thoughts and feelings that dictate these experiences. My fearful thoughts create frightening situations and my loving thoughts bring me happiness. If I follow my fear, I go down into a world of torment and sorrow. However, if I follow love, I see a Rainbow Bridge of Light.
Fifth dimensional consciousness is awareness of length, breadth, height, time, and spirit. All life upon the fifth dimension lives in the Unity Consciousness, but there is still an experience of "I" as an individual member of the group. Linear time and space do not bind consciousness here and there is NO illusion of separation or limitation. Instead, there is a constant experience of the Oness of God/Goddess/All That Is.
The primary consciousness of this dimension is androgynous stellar beings living in Lightbodies. These Lightbodies are silicone based rather than carbon based like our physical bodies. Our Lightbodies have the awareness of our lower selves without the physical limitations. These forms have no need for pain to learn their lessons so they do not need the protection and warning signals of the physical body. Our fifth dimensional selves have integrated the lessons that their lower dimensional selves are learning through the experiences of "Schoolroom Earth" and do not need physical suffering to learn.
All actions on this plane are based upon love because, just as a dead leaf cannot survive the higher vibration of a fire, fear cannot survive the higher vibration of the fifth dimension. If we were to experience fear while in the fifth dimension, our vibration would drop and our consciousness would instantly be lowered to the fourth dimension. It is only within the consciousness of Unconditional Love that we can maintain a conscious connection with our fifth dimensional selves.
On the fifth dimension, experience, creation, and travel are created in harmony with the Divine Will of God/Goddess/All That Is. Every being, place, situation, or location that is desired becomes instantly manifest. If we do choose the experience of movement, it feels like a combination of flying and treading water. Our Lightbodies, like our astral bodies, are mutable and can easily change form. Just as we can change our location or experience with our desire, we can also change the form of the "body" that surrounds our consciousness.
The fifth dimension is the beginning of ascension, and all consciousness there is naturally multidimensional. The awareness of the fourth and third dimension are as automatic as looking at our hands and feet. Since there is no sense of separation, we can experience our third and fourth dimensional realities within the same moment that we are experiencing our fifth dimensional Lightbody. Because there is no feeling of limitation, we can easily believe that we are "alive" and "conscious" within many different vibratory rates. Just as our third dimensional consciousness is aware that we are also made of the minerals, water, genetic codes, and biological matter of the first and second dimension, our fifth dimensional self is aware that we are also third and fourth dimensional beings.
On the fifth dimension we live in Unconditional Love, Unconditional Forgiveness, and Unconditional Acceptance. We hold no judgement, guilt, or negativity towards the "lower" portions of ourselves that are striving to remember our "Higher Selves". In fact, our fifth dimensional self serves as a guide to the lower aspects of our consciousness and to others as well.
There are also sub-planes of the fifth dimension, but awareness of, and therefore writings about, them are minimal. It has been my experience that there is a threshold upon which we wait for our Divine Complement. Our Divine Complement, also known as our Twin Flame, is the opposite polarity of our integrated male/female androgynous Lightbody that was split off from us when we took embodiment in the dimensions.
I am upon the step of the fifth dimension and see that there are many steps above me. I am aware of and united with the portions of myself upon the lower steps as well as my other fifth dimensional realities. Love and fear, beauty and ugliness, are only polarities of a single concept. I live in unity with the male and female expressions of my being. I have learned to unconditionally love, unconditionally accept, and unconditionally forgive all life and the portions of that life that I identify as myself. I have a sense of personal identity within the unity of All That Is. My thoughts and feelings are instantly manifest and my body of Light lives forever in the NOW. |
Benefits of raising your vibration
When you begin to consciously raise you vibration, wonderful things happen to you. Suddenly life makes sense! You understand now who you are and why you’re here. Life is no longer a series of random incidents with no apparent meaning, but instead, a learning experience that you can take control of now and in the future!
You come to realise that everything has a deeper spiritual meaning. The person who helps you, may be repaying a long established karmic debt. Perhaps, you helped them once in a past lifetime and they are now repaying the debt, by being kind to you. Similarly you may have hurt someone in a past life and they are now repaying you with bad karma. You also realise that what you do in this current lifetime on Earth, will effect all your future lives, so you purposely set out to make no further bad karma for yourself. You treat everyone with kindness and unconditional love.
Lightworkers also feel the Unity of all life forms and know that they are all linked on a higher level. When you hurt or harm someone else, (human, animal or vegetable) you are actually harming yourself! Instead you treat all humans and animals with love and respect. You set out to live life as an angelic, higher being, so you begin to drop your negative traits such as fear, jealousy, hate, envy, anger, malice, lies and lust and instead replace them with the higher angelic traits of unconditional love, inspiration, truth, forgiveness, empathy, joy, hope, faith and positivity. You can do it!
The rewards may be at first, hardly noticeable. Your actions, thoughts and words may at first seem false and forced, but soon you will be living as a higher angelic, lightworker. People will learn to react positively to the new you. Your positive, loving attitude will be reflected back to you.

The Great School Of Earth
You know that you were once powerful and loving angels who inhabited the higher realms of heaven. There you can create great wonders and do all that you like! That is why you sometimes feel very frustrated here on Earth, for your soul remembers your unlimited power and freedom in the higher realms and you feel very, very limited here on Earth. An immense group of angels decided to create life, landscapes, air and water in one place, as a spiritual project. Together they created Earth from the cosmic matter of the Universe and placed the spirit of Gaia within her, to make Earth truly come alive!
Next they created simple life forms, amoeba and the like, then animals, reptiles, birds and a primitive type of human/ape. Some angels created mountains, others the seas and oceans, yet others the plains and deserts. This all took many billions of years in Earth time, but in the higher realms there is no time, so it just took as long as it was necessary to take!
For a long time the angels watched from afar, their special Earth project with interest and pride. It was then decided to make Earth officially a Great School of Learning. Angels could visit it, take on human or animal form and experience many third, fourth and fifth dimensional events, such as physical love, athletics, artistic pursuits, family bonding and many other activities, that are not present on the higher levels of existence.
Then the more adventurous or rebellious, depending on your outlook, decided to visit Earth personally, first in etheric form and then later in heavier physical form. It was similar to you visiting an amusement park - different and fun! However for added excitement, the angels began to take greater and greater risks and indulge in baser and less noble behaviour. They began to hunt, kill and harm their creations and then some turned against each other. After all was only a fun game and not actually real! Just like a virtual reality game. Earth was just a great illusion for their amusement.
Those angels however, who indulged in primitive behaviour or even "died" in semi human form, found that when they tried to return to the heavenly realms, that their access was blocked. They had created karma through their negative and selfish acts on Earth and had to cleanse themselves of this negativity, before they could return home! To repay this karma, they decided to use the genetic material of the ape/humans to form new human beings and inhabit these bodies for the lifetime on Earth. A life span at that time could be several hundred years.
At first, they had retained their special psychic powers. They could fly, manifest what they needed, heal any illnesses in their new bodies, telepathically contact each other, talk to the animal kingdoms and easily make contact with the heavenly realms. But as they grew more accustomed to Earth life, they began to forget the higher states of being and many turned their minds and hearts against their angel brothers and sisters! And in time they created more and more negative karma, distancing themselves each lifetime, further from the higher angelic realms.
Of course there was much worry and distress about this in the higher realms. How would they ever get their brother and sister angels back again? Were they lost forever? It was decided that these fallen angels would have many lifetimes on Earth and similar places throughout the universe, as a divine opportunity to find their way back home. Everyone who died on Earth would monitor their own behaviour after death and decide whether to return to Earth immediately, rest and learn in Heaven or incarnate onto another planet in a different galaxy. Endless opportunities and lifetimes were planned.
When a soul grew tired of Earth lives, opportunities were given to that soul to incarnate in other regions of space, such as Sirius, Pleiades, Orion or any other similar vibration planet. The people of those planets usually existed in higher dimensions of the fifth and sixth, where conditions were easier and more loving than on Earth. After a respite there, the soul would feel strong enough to return to Earth and begin to repay any outstanding karma.
Those of you who live here on Earth, know that it can be a very contradictory place. Look at the sky, the mountains, the lakes and oceans, are they not beautiful? Then look at the squalid cities, the slums, the mining areas and the logged forests, are they not ugly? In your lifetime you will meet loving, kind, generous people and nasty, mean, greedy people with no love in their hearts. Yet they are all descended from angels! Those that are kind, spiritual and loving are closer to their true angelic identity, but those that are cruel and unloving are far from their angel selves! Yet they are all here at the Great Earth School to learn valuable lessons that will hopefully send them back on the right path to their heavenly home.
Who teaches you these life lessons? Your parents, sisters and brothers, friends, teachers, work-mates, lovers and yes, even your enemies! The way that they treat you, good or bad - is meant to make you stop and reconsider your true angel origins. Once you realise and believe that you are truly an angel in human form, you can start to recognise the lessons that come to you in life. You understand that what happens to you, negative or positive - is meant to help you!
You need this particular lesson for a reason and it is your reaction to this lesson that is so important. If something bad happens and you scream, yell, throw yourself around in misery and turn angrily on others, then you have failed the test! If you suppress your feelings and drown in misery, then you have failed the test! However, if you mourn naturally, then begin to assess the situation, learn from it and forgive all concerned - then you have passed with flying colours! Every situation we find ourselves involved within, can have a positive or negative ending. If we choose to act in a self indulgent, negative manner, then the problem will be re-presented throughout our lives, until we get it right! It is just like being at school, you can't move out of first grade to a higher class, until you understand the subject and pass the tests successfully!
On the higher dimensions, you do not have situations commonly involving greed, malice, selfishness, hate, fear, envy or spite. That is why it is so hard to make progress there, in a quick way. Everyone on the higher dimensions is kind, loving and tolerant, so you react in the same way. But on Earth, you have many situations that do involve these negative emotions. People may often be unkind, mean and hateful to you, but while you can't control their behaviour, you can control your own. You can be loving and caring back to a selfish, mean person. You can forgive those who have hurt you and not seek revenge. You can behave like an angel, for that is what you now remember that you are! You can move out of an unloving relationship or fearful situation and choose to live in a loving, kinder environment, while mentally and wholeheartedly forgiving and sending "light" to those who choose to live in darkness. You have choices and you choose to be an angel!
So you see this Great Earth School is a very odd sort of University of Life. It's teachers and pupils are everywhere and everyone! Even animals can teach you to be kind and loving. When we are kind to animals, we are showing our angelic natures. When we care for all peoples of this Earth, we are showing our angelic qualities. When we seek out peace, love and compassion, then we are acting as an angel. We are then becoming prize pupils of the Great Earth School. As we learn about the spirit world and begin to use our forgotten angel powers, such as telepathy, healing and higher communication, we become more angelic - we pass with honors!
Earth has also been called the Great Library of the Universe, but it is a living library, not a stagnant one filled with dry information! All the knowledge that you could ever want to know or experience is locked within Gaia's memory banks. Your library card to unlock this information is your own spiritual and angelic nature. As you raise your spiritual "light" you have access to deeper and more important universal information.
A kindergarten child does not access the information of a college library, it is far beyond his or her understanding! But in spiritual matters you can soon graduate from a kindergarten class to a college class, by your own efforts! This effort consists of opening your heart and mind, finding a spiritual path that interests you and learning as much as you can about this subject - then begin living it! Everyone of you has come to Earth for a special reason. Not just to overcome your own karma, but to show your unconditional love to the people, animals and the planet Gaia herself, through selfless, loving acts of your own. All of you have the ability to be great teachers, healers, artists in colour and form, dancers, singers, counsellors, carers, philosophers and more. You have come to Earth, to the Great School, to graduate with distinction and to live a satisfying, loving, happy life, using your angelic talents and growing in "light" as a spiritual person. In this way you will finally graduate from Earth's three-dimensional School and have entry into higher spheres of learning and loving! |

Do you feel that there is something special missing from your life? Do you feel that everything around you is slightly out of focus and that you just don’t know what you should be doing in life? If so, read on.
For each one of us, the journey started many eons ago. Across the vastness of space, it was decided by majestic angelic Beings, commonly known as the Family of Light, that humanoid, free thinking and self responsible individuals would inhabit this sector of the universe. The purpose of these humanoids was to explore and settle new worlds. And from these new worlds, they were to use their angelic gifts of Free Will and Self Expression, to experience an infinite number of different situations and events. With each experience being consciously relayed, back to the Family of Light and added to the collective conscious of the entire Universe.
It was decided that all life within this sector would originate from the Galaxy of Lyra. A group of stars currently seen from Earth, in the Constellation of the Harp. From these humble beginnings, a countless number of volunteers left their origins and ventured out, across the vastness of space. Slowly, but surely, each planet within this sector, was settled by these angelic volunteers. At first these settlers were ethereal in form and they lived within the fifth and higher dimensions. They only took on a more solid appearance and physical body, as and when they needed to interact with the lower fourth and third dimensions.
But, as time passed, the angelic gifts of free will and self expression, began to cause major social problems upon some of the newly inhabited planets. A few of the volunteers began to realise that they could now exert their personal will and power, over other individuals and obtain what they wanted. It was not long before these personal power plays, began to change the social structures of many worlds. On planet Earth, these dominating volunteers, quickly discovered that they could no longer freely move between the higher and lower dimensions. Through their wilful actions of control, they quickly contaminated their individual energies with negativity and gradually they became heavier and less ethereal in form.
By frequently leaving the fifth and higher dimensions of Unity and entering into the fourth and third dimensions of Separateness and Illusion, these wilful volunteers quickly created negative karma for themselves, that would need to repaid, at a later time. As this de-scension process continued, the wilful volunteers were forced to take on denser and denser bodies, until they resembled, what we now call, the physical human body. By this stage, those involved, had fallen from the higher realms to the bottom of the third dimension. The heaviest and densest of all the dimensions. On the way down, they also lost most of their angelic abilities, including their memories of why they had volunteered to come to Earth and experience life here, in reality. The Veil of Amnesia had been created.
As humanity had created it own existence out of free will and self expression, it was decided by the angelic Family of Light, that they would not interfere in the ascension progress of humanity or the planet. Basically, the human experience would be a unique one, in the universe. It would be a planet, where each person would have an enormous amount of free will and individuality. They would think and act as individuals and feel separate from one another. They would even believe, that the physical world in which they lived, was the only reality. And with their willful attitudes towards each other and life in general, many individuals would believe that everyone else’s life, evolved around them. They would also believe that their lives had no higher purpose or guidance and that the daily events that made up their lives, occurred in a random and unconnected manner. To this day, many people still think and act in a manner, that is consistent to a basic third dimensional belief system.
This is in distinct contrast to those volunteers who settled other planets within the Pleiadian, Sirian, Andromedan, Orion and Arcturan galaxies. They took a somewhat different approach, to the opportunities and experiences available to them. They too, were also, initially ethereal in appearance and lived within the higher dimensions, only taking on a more solid appearance and physical body, as and when needed. But over time, the more adventurous of these volunteers, also discovered that by taking on a denser form, they could interact better with their surroundings and learn more from their experiences.
As large numbers of these volunteers became involved with this new and fascinating procedure, with their combined powers of manifestation, they also began to create around themselves, the lower fourth and third dimensions. In reality they were creating around themselves, an existence very similar to what had already been created on Earth, except for one major difference. That was, each of these volunteers still remembered their angelic origins and the purpose of their current incarnation. In effect, they left the higher dimensions in a conscious and united manner. Also, individually they still retained a strong connection to their Higher Self and the Family of Light.
Since that time of entering the lower dimensions, ALL of the inhabitants of these other planets, have spiritually evolved and been able to raise themselves out the third and fourth dimensions. All of these other Off-Planet races are now currently in the lower sixth (6th) or higher dimensions and are well on their way, back to becoming united with the Family of Light. Humanity and planet Earth are one of only a small number, that have lagged behind.
When it was first decided that the inhabitants of Earth would be allowed to make their own way back to the higher dimensions, a new component was added to their consciousness. The primary purpose of this new component was to act as a basic survival mechanism. This was necessary, because in the early stages of living in the third dimension, many people were seriously injured and / or killed because they were not aware of the many dangers around them, on such a harsh, primitive planet. Since that time, this basic survival trait, has come to be known as the Ego. The Ego is the part of a person that is meant to take automatic control of their thoughts and actions, in times of potential or actual danger. It’s the basic Fight or Flight response. In times of danger, you either stand and fight or take flight and run away.
Initially, the Ego was meant to be only a small part of a person's behaviour. But, over the many millennium following its inception, it has gradually grown and adapted its self, to suit the less physically dangerous lifestyles of today. Today, the primary aim of the Ego is not survival, but control. The Ego wants control of the individual, all the time. To acquire this, the Ego will manipulate the person, in subtle and not so subtle ways. This includes, influencing what and how they think and how they behave. Because of the presence of an influential Ego, its not surprising to discover, that many people currently create around themselves, a lifestyle in which they obtain personal power, attention, recognition, praise and gratitude in their daily activities.
Once you begin to understand the intertwined effect of a strong will, a manipulative Ego and the instinctive need for individual supremacy, you should be able to understand why, humanity has become stuck in the third dimension. Basically, very few third dimensional thoughts and actions are based upon, the Divine values of Unconditional Love, Highest Intent and Unity. All of these are personality traits of a spiritually awakened, fifth dimensional person and lifestyle. Later on, we will discuss each of these spiritual principles in greater detail, including how you can continue to develop them in your own life. But, for now, we will continue with the discussion of the Ego.
This does not mean, that humanity has always been left to its own devices. In the past, Earth has been openly visited by Extraterrestrials (E.T.s) from many other worlds. Some of them have been enlightened races of Beings, who have desired to help humanity, such as those from the Pleiades, Sirius, Andromeda, Orion and Arcturus Home Worlds. On many different occasions these Off-Planet Beings, have been able to assist in raising the spiritual consciousness of large numbers of people, back to the higher dimensions.
Also, they have freely shared their knowledge with interested societies around the world, for advancements in Theology, Philosophy, Law, The Arts, Architecture, Geometry, Mathematics, Physics, Construction, Medicine, Agriculture, Astronomy and Astrology, to name a few. On many occasions, Earth has also become a recognized Port of Call, for some of these Off-Planet races, with open communication taking place, between those involved. While many of these ETs, have been visiting Earth, some of them have married and interbred with the natives. This is one of the reasons why, human Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is so complex. It a concoction of many different humanoid races, all originating from a common source of angelic origins.
But, on the other hand, there have also been a few unenlightened Off-Planet races, that have tried to control and manipulate humanity, for their own ends. These mainly include, the Alpha Draconi (the Lizzies) and the Zeta Reticuli (the Grey’s). Even today, the negative influences of these two alien races, can be seen. Generally, the Greys are involved with most of the human abductions, currently taking place. Where as, the Lizzies are more involved in the covert manipulation of some of the World’s major Institutions and Organizations. As you can see, direct alien contact can be both a blessing and a curse, it just depends who you align yourself with!
After many millennium of direct positive alien contact, it was jointly decided by those involved, that this process was not the most beneficial way, in which to assist the ascension process of humanity. It seems that once again greed, the lure of power, money and control, had caused some individuals and even entire civilizations, to seriously abuse the higher information given to them, by some of the Off-Planet races. In more than one case, it lead to the demise of vast, well established empires, such as Atlantis.
Instead, it was decided, that if an ethereal volunteer of the higher dimensions or an Off-Planet individual, wanted to assist in the ascension process of Earth, then they would have to be born in the body of a human and live out an entire life, on the planet. This process of incarnating onto Earth, is currently the way in which, many Off-Planet races are able to influence the planet. Each Off-Planet race brings with them, their own particular higher spiritual vibration, which is added to the collective consciousness of humanity. Slowly, this input of higher energy, helps to raise the entire spiritual consciousness of humanity and the planet.
Since, the early 1970’s, approximately 80 % of all those born on Earth, are Starseeds. They are spiritually enlightened Beings from the Pleiadian Galaxy. That is, they have incarnated directly onto planet Earth, after separately living various numbers of lives, on planets within the Pleiadian star system. This is why, many of them, don’t feel at home here on Earth. They are more accustomed to the relaxed and gentle lifestyle, on the Pleiades.
On the Pleiades, they live quite natural lives. They have lots of free time to follow their personal creative interests. There are very few social restrictions and the elderly are respected, for their advice and wisdom. The entire Pleiadian lifestyle, is slow, gentle and unchallenging. This is in distinct contract to planet Earth, where life is currently much more challenging and harsh!
If you are a Starseed or Lightworker and have always felt, out of touch with the "Ways of Humanity", don’t worry, you are not alone! There are many millions of other people just like you, spread around the world. They also feel, it is now time, to once more personally ascend and permanently move back to the higher dimensions. But, to do this, you need to get off the Wheel of Reincarnation of Earth. And the easiest and quickest way to do this, is to simply fulfil any promises, you made to your self, your Higher Self and your soul group, before accepting this current incarnation AND repay any negative karma that you have made for yourself, during your time spend on Earth. |

Ego (False self) -
The Illusion of Separation
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to. As you listen more and more to the teachings, contemplate them, and integrate them into your life, your inner voice, your innate wisdom of discernment, what we call in Buddhism “discriminating awareness,” is awakened and strengthened, and you begin to distinguish between its guidance and the various clamorous and enthralling voices of ego. The memory of your real nature, with all its splendor and confidence, begins to return to you.
You will find, in fact, that you have uncovered in yourself your own wise guide, and as the voice of your wise guide, or discriminating awareness, grows stronger and clearer, you will start to distinguish between its truth and the various deceptions of the ego, and you will be able to listen to it with discernment and confidence.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Do you know people who:
- desperately try to get or buy something, only to be disappointed and bored when they finally do get it!
- feel other people are to blame for their suffering? - like a victim? - they constantly talk about their past suffering? like a broken record (but do nothing about resolving the issues)
- use guilt trips, emotional blackmail, threats & ultimatums to get what they want?
- think they are the best, (arrogant, vain) and feel other people should treat them with respect?
- know our vulnerabilities and push our buttons?
- crave attention? - through intimidating (bullying) / interogating / being a victim, or being aloof?
- seek approval? and they only like people who praise and agree with them ? (Narcissistic Leader)
- are often unhappy? feeling restless, agitated, distracted, unconscious, dissatisfied?
- regularly have the following mental states: envy, jealousy, greed, desire, lust, hatred, anger, pride, self centredness?
- often say,'what's in it for me?'
- talk about 'me, me, me', or 'I, I, I'
or maybe you are like this, sometimes ?
This is most often the false self - the negative ego talking!!
"Every single negative thing we have ever thought or done has ultimately arisen from our grasping at a false self, and our cherishing of that false self, making it the dearest and most important element in our lives. All those negative thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions that are the cause of our negative karma are engendered by self-grasping and self-cherishing. They are the dark, powerful magnet that attracts to us, life after life, every obstacle, every misfortune, every anguish, every disaster, and so they are the root cause of all the sufferings of samsara." Sogyal Rinpoche
Definitions -
Ego is the absence of true knowledge of who we really are, together with its result: a doomed clutching on, at all costs, to a cobbled together and makeshift image of ourselves, an inevitably chameleon charlatan self that keeps changing, and has to, to keep alive the fiction of its existence.
In Tibetan, ego is called dakdzin , which means “grasping to a self.” Ego is then defined as incessant movements of grasping at a delusory notion of “I” and “mine,” self and other, and all the concepts, ideas, desires, and activities that will sustain that false construction.
Such grasping is futile from the start and condemned to frustration, for there is no basis or truth in it, and what we are grasping at is by its very nature ungraspable. The fact that we need to grasp at all and to go on grasping shows that in the depths of our being we know that the self doesn’t inherently exist. From this secret, unnerving knowledge spring all our fundamental insecurities and fears. Sogyal Rinpoche
Identifying the ego
This enemy that we have inside us is not our self; it's not our personality. It's only a temptation, This is the seed of the problem ego. We confuse our personality with sin; we marry these two things, and we have a wrong impression of who we are.' Archimadrite Dionysios
The negative ego is that part of ourselves which operates solely out of selfishness, isolation, fear, and fragmentation, as well as embracing the entire gamut of lower impulses, tendencies and expressions. It is often the place from which the inner child is operating, without proper parenting. It basically functions from the level of the subconscious." Dr Joshua David Stone
Ego - this is your self image; social mask that wants approval and power. Your ego feels better when you have a nice fast ferrari, a penthouse suite, expensive designer clothes and a 2gm a day coke habit. But it is annoyed, anxious or frustrated when it doesn't get what it wants.
Ego gives you the sense of individuality, false separation from others, makes you want to conquer all and tread on all those in your way
Ego is about finding happiness by looking outside self - craving external power - object referal. Using objects such as fast cars and a few fat lines of charlie to bring happiness (or distract us from the true source of pain/ anxiety, disatisfaction)
The ego projects power and meaning onto external things, that truly have no or little intrinsic power/ meaning / existence.
Ego - puts labels on things - prejudice. It is tougher to look beneath the labels, categories. It's on the inside that counts.
eg. we project happiness onto prospective partners - we think when we find the perfect partner we will be happy forever! This is not true! When they don't reach our expectations of the perfect partner we are unhappy! The key is to be realistic and realize a good relationships requires patience, perserverence, trust communication etc.
eg. We think when we have reached the american dream we will be content. This is not the whole truth. Of course house, car, job & money bring some temporary happiness, but this is not true long lasting happiness - which is more based on attitude / behaviour, ( compassion, contentment, education, ethics) and paradigm (wisdom, clarity, understanding, acceptance).
'Happiness is not the absence of problems but dealing with problems'
Happiness is not out there, 'when I have acheived this and that'. Happiness is available here now!
Ego is an addict always wanting more, constantly seeking approval of others, competiting for energy, craving for power and control. The ego is the one that wants to be right all the time and have the last word.
Ego is attached to the outcome - What's it for me? - selfish craving - me vs them. The spiritual person does his/ her best, in service to God /True Self - but is detached from the outcome. Positive Intention is important.
'Quite often I found that when I got what I wanted (or rather what my ego wanted) I was happy for a short while. However this happiness would soon go away as soon the ego sees something newer and better to get. ' Greg
Ego power is false power because power goes with the object
eg. false power goes with the position/ title (director etc.). As soon as cars, luxury goods,status, jobs, partners are gone we lose your power. Because we were relying on those external objects for energy, when they are gone, (and they will be gone or change), we may become depressed / unhappy - and probably turn to other ego stimulating substances - to distract yourself.
Ego - does not want to be humiliated or lose face!
Ego - will be nasty if needs be, to get its way and not lose face.
Ego - wants to be right, and blame others
Ego - blames others to cover its own inadequacies.
Ego - wants to provoke
Ego -
