To live with a Heart based consciousness is to live in Joy and for me that means to have your ego as your servant.

Read this great article by Nick Arrizza on his perspective of what can be done with the ego.

Are You Enslaved By Your Ego?

by Nick Arrizza M.D.

What we refer to colloquially as the “ego” is essentially the repository of all the needs that supposedly define who an individual is. I say “supposedly” because in fact that is “not” who they really are, it’s only who they “think” they are.

For instance how many times have you heard expressions like “you don’t meet my needs”? The “my” implies that those needs belong to the individual whose needs they are.

If you look at the impact that such needs have on an individual you will quickly see that they determine how that person’s entire life will unfold.

In other words they become the central organizing principles around which that person will find meaning in their life. That is because a need’s purpose is to generate a motivation to get it filled and as long as there is a need it will press the individual into action to fill it.

So as long as there are needs to be met there will be an internal pressure “forcing” the individual to meet them.

When one looks at the experience of having an unmet need one recognizes that it is not pleasant. It is often associated with feelings of lack, emptiness, anxiety, tension, dis-ease, frustration, sadness, irritation and so on. So it “pressures” the individual to appease the need in order to feel a greater sense of inner peace.

The problem however is that if one identifies one’s self with one’s personality or ego then there will always be needs to be met and there will never be a state of perpetual peace.

Now many of you are so caught up in the unconscious process of trying to fulfill your needs daily that you probably don’t even recognize the extent to which you are enslaved by them. You probably consider this situation as a normal one and dismiss it as such.

If you stop for a moment and notice how much energy it takes daily to meet these so called needs you will see that your entire life energy is being siphoned off by them.

If you are with me so far then you might wonder if there is a way out of this dilemma.

Well there is indeed. It requires dismantling the ego or personality once and for all. This means letting go of all those needs and allowing yourself to be in charge of your own destiny once again.

Yes, once again. Once, you see, you were in charge and then something happened and you were left feeling deficient or “needy”. What happened was that you were seduced, in a way that I cannot explain, into believing that you were something that you were not.

You were seduced into believing that you were in fact a being who was lacking the Divine ability to create whatever you desired whenever you desired it.

It’s like having a billion dollars in your closet yet being “brain washed” into thinking that you are a pauper.

Those negative beliefs, or lies about you, are also stored in what is called the ego or personality and they are anchored there by deeper lies that are unconscious.

It is possible to unearth these lies and permanently release them from your mind and body. By doing so the light of the truth of who you really are will shine through allowing you to re-experience your true Divine Self again.

All I ask you to do now is simply notice how you feel inside.

I suspect that for some of you what has been said will resonate at a deep level. If so simply notice it. This resonance is a sign that you are awakening from your slumber and beginning your journey to freedom.
