Today, let us practice becoming more aware of when the ego is thinking for us. When the ego is thinking for us, we are basically in an unconscious state. When we are in this unconscious state, the ego is ruling over our mind and thinking for us, and thus is living our life for us. When we are using fear-based, judgment-centric thoughts, let this be a signal to us that the ego is thinking for us. Fear-based, judgment-centric thoughts are the ego’s fuel source. The ego has programmed us to believe that fear-based thoughts, such as anxiousness, anger and resentment, are normal and natural behaviors. Through this mindset, the ego has programmed us to see each other as separate beings. It does this so we can think we can judge and punish others without those judgments having any type of negative effect on us. Yet, if we are here reading this message, then we have come to a sacred place in our awakening process. Now, we are starting to see and understand the sameness in all of us. Now we see others not as separate but as One. Within Oneness what we do to or think of others can either hurt or heal us, poison us or bring us peace. Today, if you feel like you are poisoning yourself do not despair. Simply practice catching yourself quicker and quicker when in this state of mind. Remind yourself that you have free will. That you can choose to align with love and thus begin to heal yourself. You will notice when you are healing when thoughts of anger and condemnation are changed into forgiving and compassionate thoughts. When you shift your mindset to align with Love you learn to use the ego and its thoughts as an ally in your awakening process. Now, we use the ego’s thoughts to trigger in us the need to awaken. Now, we are beginning to shine a light where once only shadows stood.
The ego’s tools are those of judgment, anxiousness, frustration, anger, resentment, hate and revenge. Today, let us not allow them like a virus spread them around to all we come in contact with. Instead let us use them as a healing device, a trigger mechanism, to help us awaken from the unconscious state. Doing so will show us that there is a better, more loving, peaceful, forgiving and compassionate way to see and interact with each other. Imagine having less and less so-called bad days simply because we decided to take back control of our own thinking. When we align our minds with loving thoughts we align with Love who is our Creator. This is our natural state, who we were created to be. Today, as soon as we catch ourselves using the ego’s tools we without judgment simply recognize them as the useful signals that they are. They are simply a request from the Universe to take back control of our own minds and return our focus to our loving nature. The quicker we learn to catch ourselves when we are out of alignment with our loving nature the less time we will spend in a fear based environment. By doing so, we spend more time in a loving, compassionate, peaceful, forgiving and joyful state of mind. Today, let us choose not feed the ego through our judgments of self and others. Instead, let us thank it for all those times it helped us practice leaving it and returning to our true Source. Let us also be grateful to those people who help us practice through their participation in our lives going from the unconscious state to a conscious state. Today, let us replace our judgments with gratitude and by doing so begin to build the foundation of the world we want.
Today, let us be able to recognize when we are taking back control of our minds from the ego. This occurs when we use the ego and its tools, not to create more pain, but to bring us and those around us peace. Today, when the ego demands judgment, we now see it as a signal to take back control of our minds by offering forgiveness. Doing the opposite of what the ego demands is always a sign of one who is in control of his or her mind. When the ego demands we condemn we will stop and take it as an indicator to show greater compassion. When the ego tries to put us or others down we will stop and see that as a request to express greater love and acceptance.
Imagine how much more compassion, peace, forgiveness, love and joy will fill our days. All we need do is start using the ego’s mindset not to make ourselves feel bad but to help raise the level of consciousness on this planet. When we align with Love’s energies and expressions we will radiate them from within unto all those who are placed upon our path.Imagine, now becoming a beacon of this type of light filled energy. Today, let us make sure to be grateful not judgmental to everything and everyone.
They have in their own unique ways helped us travel from unconsciousness to consciousness. Now, thanks to their participation in our experience we know when it is we or the ego who is thinking and thus living our lives. Now, we can use even the so-called bad for good. Now, the so-called nightmares are helping us awaken. Today, let us consciously practice becoming an awaken being, a representative of our Creator, of Love on Earth. In doing so we simply become who the Creator of the Universe created us to be.
Today, let us recall that our mind belongs aligned with our loving Source. If we are not experiencing Love or its expressions, let that be a signal to us that it is the ego and not our self who is in control. If the ego is in control of our thinking, then it is in control of our life. Today, let us not condemn the ego for this behavior, instead let us thank it. It is showing us where we need to take greater personal responsibility for the thoughts we are thinking and thus for the life we are living. The more conscious control we have over the thoughts we think, the more our thoughts will be aligned with the energy of Love. The more we get to practice taking our thinking and thus mind back from the ego, the more natural this behavior will become. By doing so, we will spend less time in an unconscious and fear-based state of mind, and more time creating the life we choose to create.

With all the fear mongering going on right now, this just really spoke to me.
I do not watch any news, so I keep a lot of The negative away from my life, but every so often something slips thru, and this reminded me that I have a choice on how to react.
Thank you

Thank you Jan for being open to the message.
Indeed it is always we who have the final say of what thoughts we will entertain and thus experience. Let us always recall that our function is to be a light in this world and thus only think of and entertain thoughts that will help us brighten and expand the light within.
Peace. JBC
I would replace the word ego with bitterness
I appreciate the fact that you chose to focus on the gratitude of living. I believe in the power of Christ word which shows us our intentions of the heart.
Focusing on His love for us despite our human weaknesses is, with gratitude sets
our minds at peace. This is perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Christ.
Thank you Cheryl for your comment and for being a member of our community.
Please do feel free to replace any word you like.
When we align with the Divine, with Perfect Love, then peace will be its natural outcome.
We are here to represent Love, in every moment and interaction, in our own unique ways. When we do do we will feel fulfilled, because in essence we will be doing what we have been created to do.
Peace. JBC
