how to make the ego submit.
i'm sure all of us have been in this situation at least once:
you're manifesting something. you decide, feeling 100% fulfilled, knowing nothing could go wrong. but then you hear the thoughts.
the loud negative thoughts screaming "you're wrong!! you don't have it. you're lying to yourself. it's impossible." people tell you to just ignore it, but how can you when it's SO loud that it's taking over your mind?
this is the ego. the ego thinks logically and relies on its senses. it believes that because it doesn't see it, then it isn't real.
but you are NOT the ego! you are consciousness. meaning those thoughts and feeling aren't yours. they have nothing to do with you. so you don't identify with it. you dismiss it. but how do you do that when its so overbearing?
how do you make it submit?
you just have to beat it at it's own game.
like i said, the ego thinks logically. so all you have to do, is beat it with logic. watch how it can't come up with a response. watch how it submits.
(now you, consciousness, don't believe in logic. logic doesn't even exist to you. but it doesn't mean you can't use it against the ego 🙃)
let's go through some examples:
say you have a test today but you decide it's postponed. immediately, your ego screams "no its not! don't you see what the teacher said? it's today!! it's too late for it to change." but you stay calm. you dont let that affect you.
you reply, "what if they get sick and have to cancel?" it thinks. but what can it say? it responds,"oh...you're right...that is a possibility i guess." see how it can't argue with you?
heres another one. your sp is dating someone else, but you decide they love you instead. again, your ego yells "no they don't! why are you lying to yourself? they're literally dating someone else." do you spiral? no. you know that's not true.
you go, "what if he's just trying to find the right time to break up?" the ego thinks again. no rebuttal. it accepts, saying "hm..i didn't think of that...that could be true."
last one. you have brown hair, but you decide you have blonde hair. of course, your ego cries out "no you don't! you obviously have brown hair, look in the mirror. see? brown. you can't have blonde hair, it's impossible." hearing this, you don't falter. you don't break down.
you persist and respond, "what if the brown hair was hair dye? and i just forgot?" it thinks, trying to grasp for straws. but it can't find any. it eventually gives up, thinking ""well...i guess that makes sense..maybe it is real."
SEE? the ego has no rebuttal !! because HOW can it rebut logic, the very thing it follows?? it can't.
it can't respond. it can't argue. it can't fight.
(and don't use this as a crutch!! you shouldn't be going back and forth with ur ego, its not real, don't give it all that attention. this is just for the people who feel very obsessive at first. no matter how much you ignore, you feel like it won't go away. use this, watch it submit, then leave it. ignore and dismiss it.)
