From Matt Kahn today, posting here in support of those whose natural path currently involves zeroing in on, differentiating between, the voices of (unconscious/wounded/human) ego, and soul/spirit Self, within our thoughts and feelings... ;->

"The primary theme along your soul’s journey is the degree to which your nervous system has been transformed-- from time spent unraveling the conditioned tendencies of fight, flight, freeze, flee, and fawn to settling into your natural state of harmonious ever-present being that permeates all time and space. Such an evolutionary process of unwinding the nervous system can be generally measured by how integrated your ego has come to be. This is not as if the ego must be chased away, cast off, or diminished, but rather is the degree to which the ego has surrendered its fight for 'more', 'bigger', and 'better' to become a faithful expression of the Source energy alive within you.
With so many insights to uncover and explore throughout your journey, some insights remain far more helpful over the long-term than others. That is to say, these insights are helpful in the sense of loosening the grip ego has on the body and world it either attempts to control or hide from.
In essence, if a pearl of wisdom isn’t deconstructing the ego, it tends to be something that simply decorates it with layers of spiritual persona. It’s important to note that there is nothing wrong with the initial shifts that transform your human persona into a more spiritually-aligned one. Equally so, as you make your way through the beginning stages of evolution and enter into the intermediate and advanced levels of expansion, the more dense of a persona simply leaves the Universe more to unravel within you.
While it's important to embrace the absolute beauty and uniqueness of your personality, it's equally essential to understand the difference between awakening from the grip of ego versus enhancing it with more spiritual pretense. The definition of spiritual pretense is how the ego uses your newfound inner wisdom and uses it to justify and sustain its lifelong patterning — only now with 'spiritual reasons' to maintain its compulsive tendencies.
Whether its the notion of doing drugs as the only imagined gateway to relaxation or universal revelation, justifying emotional eating as the only way to ground one’s energy, or making it okay to verbally or mentally mistreat others by labeling them “low vibration”, there is no insight the ego cannot twist around to maintain its false position of authority. This is why it's helpful to know the two basic avenues of wisdom that either decorate or deconstruct the ego’s patterning.
When your ego is being decorated by the insights received, you are brimming with a wellspring of knowledge that you cannot help but project upon any person or circumstance appearing to be uninformed. This is how naturally-born healers get caught up in playing out the “rescuer” archetype, which seems helpful on the surface, but is equally strengthening the grip of one’s spiritual ego by swirling in the repetition of only knowing Universal Truth on a mental or conceptual level.
Any insight can remain conceptual by being a truth you heard from others or even derived from the evidence of your past experiences, while commonly being a pearl of wisdom not being lived out or embodied by the one sharing it. As the ego is decorated in the concepts of higher dimensional reality, it lives under the impression that it has the power to change the nature of its circumstances at will. When unable to do so, it further bypasses deeper fundamental learning about the laws of co- creation by judging itself for not being able to control the hands of fate as a fanciful and imagined measurement of vibrational frequency.
When your ego has been decorated more often than deconstructed, you are likely to spend time attempting to 'spiritually diagnose' and rescue others with insights that often feel more corrective or coercive than constructive, while judging yourself for not being able to change the inner and outer circumstances being equally judged as 'less than' the most fertile ground for your next greatest moment of expansion to grow.
If you’ve only known the decorative effects of spiritual wisdom, it makes sense why you might feel as if you veered off track or must be out of alignment with Source whenever things don’t go as painstakingly planned while you were asleep in ego. As is always the case, the Universe only seems to 'take away' from your reality what makes greater space for newer realities to emerge. Equally so, the Universe holds in position any facet of your experience that is required to assert the very transformation delivering you from one level of consciousness to the next.
Whether it’s a religious leader blaming the uncertainties of COVID-19 on the choices religion labels and judges as “sin” to the many conspiracy theories that, while intending to unearth hidden truths, spend the majority of the time anchoring beliefs in the dark as being equally as powerful and able to threaten the light, there is no end to how subtly a well-decorated spiritual ego will project labels of evil, wrath, punishment, or repentance onto circumstances that are merely serving to unravel the very ego in view.
Beyond how decisively the unraveling and integration of ego relaxes, regulates, and resets the nervous system, as a mechanism of consciousness over conditioning, the purpose of every stress, misfortune, adversity, setback, or unforeseen circumstance is to deliver you into a level of consciousness where you are able to realize: what once seemed like the things I cherished being taken away was merely clearing space for greater gifts to be received.
From this space, your willingness to overcome the fear of change allows you to willingly change for the better, instead of waiting for the hands of fate to continually drag you along. Yes there will be gains and, of course, losses will come. All the while each and every loss only resets the cycle for greater and different things to be gained. This is why it is helpful to temper human desires with an open heart and open mind. While you may insist upon exactly what you need to be happy, whole, and complete, the Universe may have alternate routes or other plans that delivers such happiness, wholeness and completion into your life, but in a way you hadn’t imagined, envisioned, or expected.
All too often, you are thrust through cycles of gain and loss, until you are able to realize — there’s no such thing as loss, but only different things being gained, even if, in the aftermath of losing it all, the gain was the wealth of maturity and true inner peace only accessible in the aftermath of personal devastation or social collapse.
The criteria for shifting from a well-decorated spiritual ego and into the authentic radiance of your soul’s eternal light is profoundly simple: with the wisdom gathered, how much is used to hide from the deconstruction of reoccurring change and how much is used to inspire change as a blessing you may not expect, but you are always worthy of receiving? With the wisdom collected from each book, path, and process studied, have you been supplied with enough awareness and alignment that you are able to seek out change, or are you still hiding in the conceptual realms from the change that is seeking you?
When you are in the presence of a truly-aligned being, you can palpably feel the gravity of the truth they share, simply because it is coming through a being who is living the truth they speak, instead of speaking about a truth they continually avoid. From this space, each insight given helps you come out of hiding to be worthy of change as an existential luxury, no matter how swiftly or surprisingly it initially rips your life apart.
The purpose of your journey is not to teach your ego new spiritual parlor tricks, nor is the ego something to reject, ridicule, shame, or punish. It is the energetic residue of your most innocent and unaware parts that doesn’t need a live-in life coach, but a wellspring of loving-kindness that helps it feel safe enough to let go and dissolve. Knowing from the depth of wisdom you’ve authentically cultivated, while the ego fears disappearing out of existence, it is merely dissolving back into the Source of its origin-- which is the purity of the Universe dressed up as a unique character called 'you'. This may help you realize, you are not an ego waking up, you are the light of the Universe holding space for an unraveling individual and collective ego structure that always feels like a part of you dying off or drifting away.
To integrate this wisdom and further this shift for the benefit of your nervous system, please repeat these following words:
“I accept the main purpose of my spiritual path is to unwind my nervous system to allow my ego to surrender into deeper integration. In order to do so, the Universe manifesting reality through me will spare no expense at making things linger as long as need be or taking things away without warning, only for the purpose of the surrender and transformation it inspires.
I accept this occurs as a back and forth pendulum swing between gains and losses, until I am no longer fearing the loss of the things I’ve gained, while seeing how the nature of any loss only occurs to create greater space for different realities to be received. As I become worthy of change, grateful for what I have, and excited for what’s to come, while honoring any degree of grief inspired by tragedy or loss, I am able to see there is no truth to my fear of loss since anything I lose only invites greater experiences to emerge.
From this space of clarity, I no longer hide behind my wealth of insight, I no longer judge myself for not being able to change the things being judged, or correct others with concepts I may not be fully embodying. Instead, I hold immaculate space for the deconstruction of my ego, no longer slowing the process by decorating it with concepts, beliefs, or fears. In knowing it is so, I allow all concepts, beliefs, and fears of the spiritual ego, and all attachments to the spiritual ego to be cleared out of my energy field, returned to the Source of its origin, transmuted completely, and healed to completion now.
From this space, I am able to notice any feelings of discord, rigidity, fear, apprehension, judgment, ridicule, resentment, jealously, abandonment, vindictiveness, guilt, shame, blame, and victimhood are not experiences I am controlling, attracting, or creating. They are the layers of feedback letting me know the temperament of my unraveling ego that lets go, as I come to realize myself to be the omnipresent vastness of the Universe in form. And so I am reborn. Victory to the light I AM now. And so it is!”
Whether applied immediately to your personal circumstances or helping you see the journey of Earth’s Ascension from a more aligned heart-centered perspective, may this time of global uncertainty help you realize: it’s only armageddon to those who judge or fear the nature of loss and it’s only eminent death for the systems, patterning, and agendas that can no longer exist in orbit within Earth’s newly- evolving 5D frequency.
During such an auspicious time in history, it’s important to remember, the internal always shifts before the external changes, so please be patient with humanity as everything shakes out. As always, in each moment, simply do the best you can with the opportunities, choices, and perspectives in reach, while loving yourself and blessing others throughout the trials and tribulations of an evolving conscious planet."
