I discovered well over forty years ago now just how possessive the ego is of keeping complete
control of our being. When I started meditating in 1974 I found that I was always getting
distracted from what I was doing, which was trying to meditate and find some peace of mind
and serenity. Whenever I sat down to start meditating, something trivial thought would enter my
mind that seemed to warrant my immediate attention, and therefore cancel out my meditation.
It took me several years to finally work out what was happening to me.
I realised that the ego had a beguiling effect, on my actions, in particular when I was about to
start meditating. I realised that the deeper I went into exploring my inner self, and began to
awaken my latent spirituality, the ego become and felt threatened of its loosing its vice like grip
it had on my thinking and actions, and because of this fear the ego had, it tried to undermine
and subvert my intentions to go deeper into meditation.
The ego was intent on keeping the emotions and the living energy that flows through us all
well within the confines of the physical body and relative thinking. When it felt the awareness
and consciousness beginning to expand out into the universe, it became uneasy and felt it was
loosing its grip on the control it thought it had of me.
And this fear caused the ego to try and deceive me, to beguile me, and distract me from
venturing any deeper into self enquiry.
I discovered that basically emotional energy arises from within the heart, and at the core of
emotional energy is that of Divinity and soul PRESENCE.
We are all souls at various stages of awakening, as we make further inroads into the
realisation of who and what we really are, which is of course immortal divine souls, we will
then have access to greater intensities of emotional spiritual energy, which in turn will expand
our levels of consciousness and awareness perceptions.
Warmest regards Michael.
