Is emotional pain linked to Ego or Spirit?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“I was just wondering, when we are hurt emotionally by something, a situation, a person, or an event, is this automatically connected with ego and/or spirit?
For example, our pride is obviously ego.
But is emotional hurt not in some way linked with spirit?
I find it hard to separate ego from spirit for example when I feel that someone has done wrong to me.
If you could share some insight on this I would be grateful.”
Response:
Our deepest level of emotions is connected to our spiritual essence as love, but when we are emotionally hurt or offended by someone, that is the part of our emotional nature more associated with our ego.
Our true self is never hurt or offended, it knows its own value and can never feel diminished by the words, beliefs, or actions of another person toward it.
The more our emotional self is allied to our true self, the more we are able to respond to hurtful behavior with love, compassion, and understanding.
Love,
Deepak
