Losing the Ego: the Awakening by Alan Watts *and Mooji

January 11, 2015

ego A totally borrowed words from Alan Watts and a wonderful, 10 min video on the importance of losing the Ego. Thought the subject of ego in our lives and its real nature and how it affects our every day life is so important that I shared it not only on facebook, where I usually share “what’s on my mind” or what inspires me at given moment (so please subscribe to stay up to date if you wish) but will actually copy paste it into a post. Hope this will help you understand the phenomenon of ego itself in its existence while understanding that ego is a phantom kind, an illusion of the mind…so how can it exist in the first place..? See what about ego have to say : Alan Watts, Mooji and Matt Kahn.

“To borrow an old Chinese saying, that when the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way. In other words, there’s something wrong with the way that we think, and while that is there, everything we do will be a mess. Now what is it that’s wrong? Now as far as I can see, the basic mistake is that we’ve invented this wonderful system of language and calculation and that it is at once too simple to deal with the complexity of the world, and also we are liable to confuse that system of symbols with the world itself, just as say we confuse money with wealth. A lot of people are in business to make money itself, when they make the money they don’t know what to do with it. And so in the same way, we confuse happiness with status, and we confuse ourselves as living organisms, which are one with this whole universe, with something we call our personality. Now what is our personality? Our personality is what we call our image. Our image of ourselves, and also our thought of ourselves, our idea of ourselves. This is the person. In order words, what people meet and understand, and what I understand as Alan Watts is a big act, which is not really me. Because in the image of Alan Watts, there are not all my unconscious processes, both psychological and physical, the construction of my brain is not contained in the concept Alan Watts, and the concept Alan Watts does not contain the inseparable relationship with all the rest of the universe, and therefore that concept is a fraud! When it’s mistaken for the real me, there’s a confusion because if someone says Alan Watts, do something about it! The concept Alan Watts can’t do anything! In other words, because it’s only a concept, you can’t make it lift a weight. Just as three is a concept, you can’t make plain three do anything. Just as you can’t wrap up all parcels with the equator – it’s a useful imaginary line but it can’t do anything.

Emotional Oneness and Shadow Work with Your Inner Child. Resolving Relationship with your Innocence.True Guru is inside of You.

I loved this talk about Emotional Oneness by Matt Kahn so much and found in it so many hidden gems on different subjects, that I decided to repost it again, this time with focus it delivers on embracing Your Inner Child (that needs Shadow Work) and relationship with it alongside your Mind and your Heart. I posted this video in the blog post called “Emotional Oneness. Making Peace with Your Inner Child with Matt Kahn. Speech that moves hearts” recently as well.

Read some of my favourite messages from the video before listening to the whole audio. I really liked revolutionary way Matt Kahn spoke about the misconception of understanding EGO in today’s’ spiritual traditions and the need to deal with Your own Shadow in order to find Peace and Enlightenment that many of us are so craving for.

“In many spiritual traditions the focus is on understanding, unravelling, overcoming, and transcending the ego. And this way the ego gets a really bad wrap. In fact in many spiritual traditions when you have confidence people say you have an ego. And an ego is an aspect of your Soul. And when you take a heart journey, you understand that ego is just an inflated character through which your Inner Child wants to gain some attention that it didn’t get from the past. So the ego is an attention seeking device on the psychological level that your Inner Child employs. And if you’re trying to destroy and get away from your ego, you are sending messages of abandonment, resistance, isolation to your Inner Child. And this way your Inner Child gets even darker in order to get your attention. Like – I’m not gonna be loved by them but they not gonna ignore me! – And that’s how the Inner Child becomes the Shadow. Your Inner Child is just desperate for your Loving Attention and it takes a back seat and perceives your spiritual journey as the sibling that gets all the attention. And Your Inner Child gets really resentful of Spirituality, coz the seeking of it and focusing on spirituality in your life makes you totally forgetting your Inner Child.

What You don’t want to do is to bring your spiritual philosophy to your Innocence, coz the Inner Child  perceives your spiritual knowledge from different sources as a threat, that is more worthy (and being treated as such) than ITSELF.”

Your Inner Child that is the Innocence of Your Consciousness is the Guardian of Your Soul and until you’ve given it the attention that it demands, it won’t allow the things that you’re here to experience, create and express in your life, to be recognised in your present moment reality.

And truly speaking – Your Inner Child is Your Only Guru You can Trust. We should be on a spiritual journey that gives as focus on our inner world and our heart and not so much so on external spiritual gadgets.

“So the focus of the Spiritual Journey is – bring your Mind and Your Heart back in to the reunited joy of holy matrimony once you and your Innocence are back on the same page. And then it just happens that you are living Oneness.

You are living Oneness when You are living from Inside OUT and not OUTside In.

Changing the relationship with your Inner Child is actually what triggers the abundance to be flooding into your life. Emotional Oneness is when you are having a Heart Centred relationship with Your Innocence.

Eckhart Tolle – The Power of Now and awakening your true potential.

August 22, 2014

“Having access to that formless realm of pure Being is truly liberating. It frees you from bondage to form and identification with form. It is life in its indifferentiated state prior to its fragmentation into multiplicity. We may call it Unmanifested, the invisible Source of all things, the Being within all beings. It is a realm of deep stillness and peace, but also of joy and intense aliveness. Whenever you are present you become transparent to some extent to the light, the pure consciousness that emanates from this Source. You also realize that the Light is not separate from who you are but constitutes your very essence”.
Eckhart Tolle

It all become possible after dissolution of ego and dropping the need to label anything.

I am a big fan of Eckhart Tolle work, teachings and books, “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” and I admit they shaped me immensely. Continue reading “Eckhart Tolle – The Power of Now and awakening your true potential.”
