This video will show you 3 things that your higher self wants your ego to know. I'm going to share with you these 3 things and how you can apply it to really feel comfortable in knowing that you can be who you prefer to be to get what you want in life. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video we're going to be talking about how our ego and our higher self how they communicate. We're going to talk about 3 things that our higher self wants our ego to know and how this can really help the process of attracting what we want into our life. Now, first off, this has come from the understanding of like an Eastern philosophy. We could say that this is the ego self and this is like the observational self, but also from different like New Age perspectives, we could say that in a way our higher self is what guides us, the ego self, through the valley. Think of it like the ego is in a valley trying to go towards the mountaintop, and then on the mountaintop is the higher self who can see a higher level of awareness, can see a higher perspective to direct the ego where to go in order to most proficiently or efficiently get to the top of the mountain. Now the idea is that the way that the higher self communicates with the ego is through emotion and feeling. This is why it's so important to follow your excitement. When you follow your excitement, what you allow yourself to do is to go down the path of least resistance to get up that mountain. And what your higher self will do is will give you that feeling and will— that bandwidth, that gap that you feel between where you are and that high vibe state or that passion is the communication from the higher self telling you in which direction to go in. So that's why following your passion. Such an important thing. Now there are 3 main subtle hints I'd say that the higher self will give the ego when it comes to going up that mountain, when it comes to really just understanding itself at a deeper level and using that in order to attract what we want. Now understand that the first one has to do with something all of us can get benefit of knowing, and that is the higher self is trying to tell the ego to surrender and that it's not the ego's job to do everything. Now, this is something that we may learn the hard way. I know I learned it the hard way because I started to get really good results in life when I started to really increase my work ethic and when I started to use my ego in a powerful way. That was because I went through a spiritual awakening years ago, and then when I came out of that, I became very aware that my beliefs were creating my reality and that there was a correlation between like my thoughts and my experience in life. And that was very exciting to me. And for years I was very focused on more, I'd say, of the ethereal part of life, more of the energetic thinking and the meditating part of stuff. And what then I realized though is then in the beginning of 2016, I started to take massive action towards my dreams and desires. Then what happened is I had an explosion of growth. I started to grow very quickly on YouTube. I went from like 4,000 or 5,000 subscribers up to like 100,000 and something within like 4 or 5 months. And I believe that that had to do with me taking action. I was then being rewarded for that, so I got positive reinforcement and I thought that that's what the problem— like that was what everything was really though. What it was, it was an energetic connection because I felt so passionate while I was doing it and what I had to then learn is I had to learn how to let go and every time I would let go of the how, every time I would surrender, it's like I'd let go of any resistance and things would come in flooding so much faster. It was like it was so much easier. For me to achieve what I wanted. Now this means that surrender is what's important. Understand that what we do is we have an intention for something we want to experience in our life, that we can take action towards that, but then we should— we don't— not should, but then what we can do is let go of the outcome to then almost give it up to the universe and allow the universe to do its job rather than us always trying to do everything else. Now we could also use this analogy in the form of our higher self. Give up the control over everything. It's okay to surrender and allow things to happen. That's when everything really begins to change because as we change our state of being, as we go from feeling resistance because we are here and we want to be there, then what we do is we allow the moment to be. We trust the process and as we trust the process, things start to fall into place. We don't have to work so hard. It's like we become more efficient with what we're doing and that's when everything really begins to change. Now, the second thing that our higher self wants our ego self to know has to do with— now, the second thing that our higher self wants our ego to know is that we are friends. Now, I know that sounds kind of ridiculous, but there's a lot of new age information or not even new age. There's just new, there's new books coming out. And sometimes it talks about how the ego is like the bad part of us. So the ego is the enemy. Now somebody actually commented on my, one of my recent videos and asked me because they got the book called Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday for Christmas and they asked me if that was still relevant or that was a good book. I think it's a great book. However, what I would say is I think the purpose of saying the ego is the enemy is to realize that we can disassociate from the ego because For years we've thought that we are the ego. So then what we do is there's a next step. We become aware that we are not the ego and we are not only the ego. And then the step above that, we transcend that and realize that we must work with the ego rather than against it. Now the ego is part of our physical experience. So if we say that the ego is the enemy, who are we enemies against? Who can be enemies against anybody? The ego is a part of our experience. So what I've learned to do is to become friends with the ego, to work with it. When you are aware of it, you start to transcend that limited awareness. You transcend identification with the ego and you allow yourself to then work in a much more powerful way. So don't think of any part of yourself as negative or bad. Negative always causes separation. Integrate with it, incorporate it, be aware of it. Don't identify with it, but as you become aware and you can start to become friends with it, everything will change because you're not disassociating with the part of yourself that is part of the human experience. We are having a physical experience, and if we didn't have the ego, we would not be able to do that. Now there's a difference between having the ego, being aware of it, and identifying with it. We can realize that's not who we are, that at a deeper level we are immortal spiritual beings having a temporary human experience, and when we start to really tap into that, We start to let go of all the resistance that comes with it, of the controlling of anything else, and we allow ourselves to be who we prefer to be. Now, the third thing that our higher self wants our ego self to know is to loosen up, to lighten up, and to have fun. Now, this is always prevalent and always very, you know, from the perspective of the ego. The ego wants to control. The ego wants to always be serious. It's like, always, let's get this stuff done. Let's get here. I'm here. I want to be there. There's such a seriousness that comes with it. Now the higher self wants to be more playful. It wants to communicate to the ego self and say, hey, when you loosen up, when you just have fun in the present moment, your state of being goes up. And as your state of being goes up, you then resonate with higher level awareness. You resonate with higher level paradigm of where things could come into your life much easier. So this is the awareness that when you loosen up and have fun, you increase your state of being and you allow things to come into your life so much easier because you are resonating with that energy. Understand that everything in life has to do with resonance. They've shown in science that everything is vibration. When we are feeling in a higher state of being, which means we're having fun, we feel like we have a great sense of humor, we feel like things are just flowing, that's when things are really going to manifest. Things will happen in a much easier way. And when we start to integrate that level of fun, this, it's the most— it's like a paradox because then things just start to happen. Let yourself let go. By letting go, you will be allowing in even better things than you can imagine and realize that after all of this, the best possible case scenario that the ego can imagine is only the floor to the higher self, that we limit ourselves by thinking this is what I want to create, this image, when that image is a limitation in itself. Even if we say I want to make X amount of money per year, if we put ourselves at a cap at like $200,000 a year, whatever it is, that is a limit within itself because the higher self can imagine more than that, but we limit ourselves by being identified with it. So what I'm saying here is let go of the outcome. You can still have goals, but what you learn how to do is you learn how to allow rather than try to control, and you realize that the ego doesn't know everything. The ego can't do everything. So allow the universe to do its job. Allow your higher self to do its job. And as you let go of that, you know, luggage we've been carrying around on our back, we feel so much lighter. We can actually start to have fun and that's when everything really begins to change. So another part of this of course is understanding our subconscious mind and that's why I've created a free MP3 meditation that can totally transform your subconscious mind so that you start to see yourself in a higher point of view. This is something that you could download for absolutely free. It's going to be in the description box below. I recommend you listen to it for at least 21 days so that you really are able to transform your limiting beliefs, transforming your self-image, and start to become the kind of person that you want. It'll help you observe your ego so that you're able to raise above that level of awareness and you can start to construct and become the kind of person that you prefer.
