Written by Julie Humphrey

Each week I look forward to sitting down and getting in touch with my highest spiritual vibration so that I may write a great newsletter. Each week I ask for Divine guidance to help me so that each person who reads this will get something from it.

With that said I hope you had a wonderful week and are looking forward to another better and better week.

Love and Ego

What is the connection!

Love comes from the heart love connects us all in one way or another. Love makes you feel great! It inspires us it sometimes makes us laugh or cry and it can fill our lives with joy.

Ego comes from the mind it seems to control our emotions it can also make us feel great and make us feel happy. Yet ego can also trick you into being angry at someone you do not even know. The funny thing is that ego enjoys tricking your heart (Spirit-Self) but the Spirit Self knows the truth and knows only love. Then why is it that we do not recognize when the ego is taking over and we are disconnected from the Spirit Self. This is because ego can be very comforting it will give you exactly what you want in a sense. If you think that someone is deliberately being mean to you or treating you with disrespect, this is most likely your ego saying, hey there don’t you get that this person who is being mean to you should get some of their own medicine right back at them. On the other hand love says: show that person who is mean to you love and they will eventually get it and make changes in their lives. As enlightened as we are it is sometimes difficult to overpower the ego maybe it is because we classify this as just being human. As difficult as this may seem it can be really easy to determine if we are coming from our ego or our Heart our Spiritual Self.

Next time you are in a situation that may bring ego to the forefront think for just a moment and ask your Spirit is this ego or is it my Spirit Self. You can bet that it is mostly ego that wants to be proud and wants to conquer the person who was rude or made a rude comment. There are so many times that we allow ego to over power the Spirit self and the love that we should be pouring into the situation. Some people seem to think that ego is the energy that we put off when we think we are being cool or better than someone else. There is so much more to our ego than we realize and it is time to start putting that ego in check and take a look at where we truly want to come from in our heart and soul. Don’t just look at where you want to make changes in your life, practice it! Focus on the Spiritual Self and what it feels like to come from love. We as humans are very good at looking to the negative the ego based realities and we seem to loose sight of the positive and of love. Love definitely wants for you to be happy yes! Really happy filled with joy and comfort and compassion, goodness and to know Gods love. Ego is going to keep telling you that you are the only one who matters and it is your feelings that will get hurt if you do not teach that person a lesson for being so (what ever) to you. It really does not matter to love what you choose to do love will continue and will exist within you and all people no matter what. It is up to you to acknowledge love and to invite it in to stay to guide you and to be stronger when ego is present.

Now it is up to you to invite love in to listen to your Spirit and to feel loves gentleness. Or you could acknowledge your ego and fight back and say: hey I already know all this stuff and it does not work for me I know a better way. This is a big sign that ego is the ruler here.

What is Ego?

Ego says: he or she is not calling me back, so why should I be the one to call?

Ego says: that person put me down in front of other people. I am really mad! I can not let go of how angry I am.

Ego says: I do a better job than that person they do not even deserve to work here.

Ego says it is okay to carry a grudge for years and be angry inside because I will not let it go until I get an apology from this person.

What is Love?

Love says: I don’t mind calling _______ back for I understand people get busy and forget things.

Love Says: I am okay with the person who put me down in front of others it really does not matter anyway I do not have to be angry for I am of love and love knows no anger.

Love says: I will work twice as hard because I am okay with allowing each person to live their own lives.

Love says: there is no need to carry a grudge for I am not worried about what happened in the past. I live in the now and love is my guide.

Well I really hope that you have more knowledge of what love and ego have in common and how we can use love to override ego and eventually possibly love will rule your life rather than depending on ego based realities and of what someone else may think or what their opinion might be.

Affirmations for the Week

I allow love and my higher spiritual self to guide me in all my undertakings.

I allow others their own thoughts and feelings and I am okay with that. For I know that love can work miracles.

Love energizes me and brings the positive into perspective.

I love every one and every one loves me.

I think to my self each time I am confronted with ego, Love is the most powerful energy I allow only love to help with my decisions and I am witness to the wonderful expressions of love that are within me and about.

Let love guide you and let joy be free within your self today. There is only this moment and if you will focus on love the next moment will be even better.

I love you and I am so happy to have you as my friend you are a perfect expression of Gods love and I am so happy to know your love and light is here for all to know. Blessings from Julie
