Can our Ego keep us from True Love?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“I am at the point where my ego sometimes uses my spiritual understanding as a guise to ‘protect’ itself.
This happens during the times I consider getting back in contact with my ex-partner of 6 years.
We were twin flames and shared a very deep bond.
My question is: Every time I think about contacting him which arises from thoughts like “You control your own reality, do not be worried that you will be hurt again as only you influence your reality no one else.
We are all connected so there is no reason for me not to contact him. ”
But then this other voice says” Yes and I do create my own reality so therefore I will create a situation that is beneficial for both of us to come in contact again and when that time comes then will be the opportunity to talk.
Trust in the universe i.e. myself to provide me with the correct moment for us to talk.”
There is fear that if I connect again with him (by contacting him at this moment) that I am hindering my moving-on process.
But is that the ego hiding behind this concept of ME and my moving-on process?
Because if we are all one then wouldn’t contacting him be something that I choose to do based on my awareness of myself therefore the situation will unfold as I choose to see it unfold?
Or is it my ego trying to bring the past into the future by covering up the hurt and turmoil we both went through by saying things such as “We are all connected, not being in contact with him is only being stubborn and untrusting of yourself call him it will be lovely remember all the greatness that he is.”
The final point is when I do consider contacting him I get uneasy in my belly.
Is this egoic fear or is this my intuition?”
Response:
The ego is always trying to protect its version of the self as a separate entity.
Its very nature is resistance and fear.
So the ego will use your spiritual knowledge and belief to justify its goals in all matters, including your decisions with your ex-partner.
Regarding your question about whether to contact him or not, it’s better to simply follow your heart.
That is the spiritual path.
The spiritual heart can never be broken and does not need protection.
Even though the linear mind may not understand why the spiritual heart does something, the deep heart does not make mistakes.
Once you start trying to mentally justify your decisions from a spiritual perspective, you are already in the clutches of the ego, and you will be able to talk yourself into or out of any position.
The spiritual life is learning to live from your heart, not your mind.
Love,
Deepak
