We all have shadow and light. The shadow has many names like the ego, illusions, the lower self, the pain-body, demons and the lower darkness. We tend to see it in others and have a harder time identifying it in our self.
A. What are some of the functions of the ego:
The ego likes to chatter and stay busy. It likes to make us feel inferior or superior to others. It likes to feel seperate from everything around us. The ego does not like to live in the present, so it likes to make us live in the future or past. It makes us feel like there is not enough (i.e. time, energy, resources, money, etc.). The ego is small and ignorant and operates from a place of limitations. The ego is an aspect of shadow and feeds on fear.
Qualities of Shadow:
fear, laziness, anger, resentment, dishonesty, envy, greed, mistrust, etc.
B. In order to heal our shadows:
We must be willing to acknowledge it in our selves and make the commitment to bring it to the light. We have to realize that our shadows and egos belong to us. We have to be responsible for our own spaces, actions, beliefs, and creations. By constant care and focus, we can heal the ego.
C. How can we heal the ego:
We can heal the ego by being honest with ourselves about what we are thinking and feeling in the present now. We can use our spiritual practice and healing work to help the shadow to come up. Ego can be addressed by being more honest with those around us and dealing with the unpleasant situations. Ego dissipates when you learn to stay present. By setting a clear intention to bring more light and love into our daily lives, we increase the light and lessen the dark.
