⋆𐙚 ̊. here’s a little snippet from my own meditation regarding the ego. it’s specifically directed towards permashifting, but i thought i’d share in case it could help anyone other than me ‹𝟹
“” i know you’ve thought about your life here a lot lately. things that are going to happen in the near future. plans that often aren’t even that special, basically just small things that feel important. as if your plans here are more important to prioritize, feeling like you have to experience everything here in order to shift.
but before we continue, let me remind you why these thoughts even occur in the first place. we have this very beautiful friend called, the ego. i know it feels like it’s trying to sabotage or hold you back, but that’s actually not the case. the ego is just the part of you who cares about everything that feels important and familiar.
therefore, it’s only natural for the ego to remind you of all the things you have yet to experience here. that’s what it’s made for. to keep you anchored to what’s already familiar. because when the ego sees something that feels important, it’s going to try to keep your attention focused on it. not because it’s trying to stop you, but to show that it’s valuable (to the ego.)
but you have to remember. if you wait until there’s nothing left to experience, you’ll be waiting forever.
life doesn’t run out of experiences. there’s always going to be something new. a new plan, a new place to visit, a new show to watch. big or small, it doesn’t matter. because once you do experience that thing you waited for to be over, something else is going to take its place instead. but that’s not a sign you have to stay here. it just means that life will continue, regardless of what happens.
that’s exactly how it will be. life continues. and remember the agreement you made with the ego. that it gets to stay here and experience whatever it wants, meanwhile you get to shift and experience what you want. that’s such a good deal.
it’s not the ego that’s going to experience all the new things in your new reality. it’s you who’s going to do it. the ego is a part of this reality and will continue experiencing everything here.
you are awareness. it is awareness who observes the thoughts, it doesn’t create them. you’re the one who observes the ego’s worries and arguments, not the one who speaks it. you’re the one who hears everything, but that doesn’t mean you have to follow orders. and because you’re the observer doesn’t mean you must solve the ego’s problems. because it actually doesn’t matter, as there’s always going to be another problem. over and over again.
you and the ego don’t need to fight anymore. you don’t have to argue every time someone’s want is stronger than the other. because both of you will get what you both want in the end. the ego will continue its journey here, while you will continue yours in your new reality. and that’s exactly where you’ll wake up.
if a single thought appeared consisting with something along the lines of “no you won’t”, just let it pass. because what did we just learn? that it’s the ego’s thoughts, not yours. it’s you who will wake up in your new reality, not the ego. “”
