Look at it this way – who you are is pure consciousness, but a part of
you has become “deluded” and has started focusing in a negative Effortless Creation (15)
manner. If you start believing in this “negative” consciousness, you feed

more consciousness into it, and thus make it gain more momentum
and mass. That’s the reason why certain adults get more and more Law of Attraction (10)

Freedom from the “Ego” is only possible when you start recognizing Understanding the Mind (125)
that you are not the “Ego”. As long as you identify with the “Ego” you will

The “Ego” is responsible for the creation of negative realities in your life,
hence it’s of highest importance to dissolve this energy in you. ABOUT

When “Ego” energy completely dissolves in you, it will become evident Donate
that who you are is pure positive energy, and that there is no su ering
in your being. It’s not a di cult thing to achieve, all it requires is a
recognition that you are not the Ego, and hence a dis-identi cation
from the movement of the “Ego”. The Ego energy will automatically
slow down in momentum, and eventually dissolve, as you stop
identifying with it.
Can you realize that the “Ego” is playing out in the background of your
consciousness, which is very silent and vast? You are this vast
consciousness, and your nature is based in love and joy. Peace is
inherent to your nature. Shift your attention to this silent, and deep,
part of you that seems to reside as the background to all the “negative”
noise made by the “Ego”.

I have been on this journey but for a few days and the world seems so much
more alive. Everytime I sit down outside, a little bird comes into my path. I feel
that something inside of me has been activated! However, there is still this pull
that gives me a slight sense of insecurity. I have this same song that spins
round and round in my head. No matter how much I relax or not control, it
resurfaces. It seems so minor but a constant irritant. As I transition into who I
am, I pray for patience in the areas that still frighten and annoy “me” in my
mind. I wish they did not matter.

I recognize so many faulty thinking patterns like my fixation with time, fear of
being in this state of anxious mind always, and then fear of going crazy. They
always come together, one behind another. I also notice that certain thoughts
create the same pattern of discomfort in my body. Its like I am starting to
observe the thinker but still get pulled in emotionally to what’s going on.
However, I know that pieces of me are falling off and there is a light emerging. I
just still feel like its shaky ground.
Celeste – What you are a reporting is good news. The shaky feeling is
an indication of the inner transformation that has started in you. My
teacher used to say that if you don’t feel like a crisis has started within,
you may still be in the “dream” land. It won’t be this way for long, it’s
just a temporary phase of transition, don’t panic just allow it.
Remember that this whole process is about waking up from the
“dream” identification, and becoming free of the pull of deluded
thinking. I will reiterate that what you are going through is “normal”,
everyone who awakens to the truth of their being feels “shaky” and
groundless for a while. It’s part of the transition process, its very
normal.
It’s a big shift in consciousness and it’s very normal for you to have the
feelings that you are having right now – stark fear can arise suddenly,
there may be a feeling that you are going crazy, that you losing touch
with reality, anxiety and the general feeling of uncertainty about
everything can arise. Rest assured, that these are very temporary,
though they may come up now and again for a while. I would advise
you to just relax, and stay in a place of surrender every time these
feelings arise. If you try to work out these feelings, or try to sort them
out, you will only end up prolonging them. Allow these feelings
completely, and let them move freely in the space of your being. When
you do this, they will automatically disperse from your space, leaving
you feeling lighter.
The old mind or the “ego” doesn’t want to leave, and so it will put up a
fight for a while. You need to be prepared for this, because I can assure
you that there will be times when the mind will go into an “offensive”
mode where it tries all types of strategies to get you back to the old
way of thinking. Fear is the main strategy of the mind to keep you from
freedom. The mind is not evil, it’s just scared of moving into a “new”
place. Freedom is a new place, and the mind is scared of it. It
associates all sorts of fear with this “new” place and so it tries to cling
to its old way of thinking (fear based thinking).
If a song sticks in your mind, just let it be. If you get irritated by it, you
just get shackled to it. Relax your focus, become an open field of
consciousness. When you relax your consciousness you are not longer
fixated on “one” thing, but your consciousness becomes more universal
and whole. The normal state (actually abnormal) of consciousness in
most people is that it stays “fixated” in the mind, the natural state
(liberated state) of consciousness is to be “open” and relaxed, not
fixating on anything. It will take sometime before you become aligned
with this natural way of being, because for years you have practiced
“fixating” consciousness in the mind.

Dear Sen,
I have been following your blog for sometime now…
I was interested in your reply to the poster above you said you had a teacher,
and I wondered if this was someone you saw in person- or if it was someone
you followed on-line?
I don`t have anybody in my personal life who shares my “desires”- for want of a
better word- to” wake up”, I`m not saying they are not good people- they are-
but I feel I would be helped on my way by interacting with others who have
seen through the mind. Does that make sense? I had a sort of forced
awakening due to stress and anxiety- quite out of the blue I suddenly realised
this worrying , anxious, mind was not “me” and had a real eureka moment- the
peace , the bliss was inexplicable.
But, and its a big but, I feel my mind still has its entrenched patterns, despite
this ( temporary?) awakening- and I wonder if you think there is any benefit it
seeking out a teacher- or do I continue to live my life as I am, it just feels a bit
of a lonely place to be- when you can`t discuss with others- we are after all
social beings- its just those I know would not have a clue what I was on about-
if I discussed the kind of stuff you write about. Did /do you have other people to
talk with, or do you think I can do this alone- whilst still carrying on my regular
life. I just think it would be enriching to be with like people too maybe?
Thanks- its a great blog, and I`m appreciative of your posts- some beautiful
stuff, really beautiful.

Dear Sen,
Sometimes, when I read your article, I feel that all the hair on my whole body
rising up and I laugh. I dont know what is this feeling, but I think something
inside me is resonating, and there is another feeling, fear, fear to letting go, I
think. It’s not huge, what i think, this fear is the ego, it fears of understanding.
Recently I can see through some of my negative thoughts, and the moment I
saw through it, there is something inside me that feels scared, there were also
some thoughts said “seriously, are u sure that this is not important?”, and I felt
a pull of emotions inside me. At the first few times, I dont know exactly what is
this, but after some time, not long, I just suddenly understand that this is the
Ego, that you are talking about in this article. Lately, it puts up a lot of fight,
about the same thing, for the few days. My mind is so noisy, mostly with the
same thoughts. But strangely, I feel that these thoughts’s pull and negative
energy is weaker, some still a little bit strong but not as strong as before. My
body’s vitality is almost dried up because of this, so sometimes I choose to
ignore them while letting the emotions arise, and when I do this, the mind
sending a thought like, “are you sure about this? you might end up refueling
the negative thoughts”, sometimes i take this thought and think of it
consciously, and sometimes I ignore this thought and the other thoughts.
I feel the change inside me, I used to be panic, stressed when the negative
thoughts came, but now I feel calm, and sometimes frustrated because this
huge amount of thoughts came non-stop in a few minutes range and this is the
time I usually choose to ignore them. I afraid I might die if i keep allowing them
to get them release or to think about them consciously.

Brilliant post here on dissolving the Ego. Combine this with Tolle’s views on
staying in the NOW, and your Ego doesnt stand a snow balls chance in hell
