Today our lesson is Mind Games.

Ego shows up two ways.

We think that it's forceful,

Demanding.

But ego is also weak,

Wounded.

Both the extroverted and introverted manifestation of ego are the same.

If you feel anxious,

Depressed,

Fearful,

Cranky,

Sad,

Or stuck,

This is not you.

It is your ego telling you that you are separate.

This is untrue,

The universe.

I think that this is a super important teaching because we are taught in this culture,

Especially,

Not only,

But especially women,

Are taught that to be loud or bullying or aggressive or demanding or selfish is ego.

We're taught that this is how ego shows up in an unhealthy,

Non-conscious way.

But the other side of ego,

Which is playing the victim,

Being afraid,

Being overly weak,

Being weaker than others,

Not standing up for ourselves,

Giving in,

Giving away our power,

This is also ego.

Ego is not this bossy,

Demanding thing only.

Ego is also this weak,

Victimized,

Shame-filled aspect of ourselves.

Some of us have more of this bullying,

Demanding ego side that's apparent.

Some of us have this more victim,

Shame-filled ego as part of us.

The thing to remember is that they're both manifestations of ego.

Soul doesn't feel any of this.

Soul is just pure connection,

Pure love,

Pure oneness,

This feeling of absolute connection with the divine,

The universe,

God,

Whatever your favorite name is for the ineffable.

It's good to remember that we say,

Oh,

They're so egoic or they're so filled with their ego or they're acting from ego.

We talk about this when we're dealing with people that are super extroverted in their egoism,

They're super demanding.

And yet it's good to remember that when we're being shame-filled or victimized or giving away our power or feeling weak or feeling sad or feeling depressed,

This is also our ego.

It's not what we normally call ego,

But yes,

There it is again.

It's the side of us that says it's hopeless and we're saying it's hopeless because we've forgotten that we're connected as one.

So of course the solution for both egoic states,

Both mind game states,

Whether we're thinking I deserve or we're thinking I don't deserve,

Is to recall that both of these are aspects of ego.

And when you just relax and go into a state where you connect with the oneness of everything,

You sort of recalibrate yourself or you realign yourself or you re-remember your true state of being one with everything and that this is who you really are.
