There IS a deep well of love within EVERY single person on Earth.
Yes, this includes you!
This deep ~ pure ~ unconditional and grace filled love is veiled by something which many refer to as the ego.
The ego is everything that has grown over the top of our True Self. It consists of jealousy, hatred, injustice, anger, greed and all the things that feel uncomfortable.
You could think, well if that’s the case, then all I have to do is just not feel that stuff and then I’ll feel good!...
However, through thousands of years of generational conditioning and learning, this becomes deeply rooted... We only need to note the amount of conflict around us and in fact around the world to see this.
In “Spiritual” type circles, there is often talk of ego death, transcending’ the ego or ridding ourselves of the ego.... This is actually not necessary or accurate.
The ego is here for us in order to have this life experience, however it can get ‘out of hand’ ~ only by ‘seeing’ this from the greater awareness can we ultimately come to love these parts of us that we are often ashamed and/or unconscious of... In this loving space, the ego will inevitably soften, calm and quieten.
When the ego is seen for what it is, we realise and see that we had mistakenly believed that this is who we are... With this comes a compassion for the self and others.
The ego can take over and run our lives. It can cause a whole host of misery, plus mental and physical problems.
However, when it is seen from the witnessing presence of the True Self, the investment in it dissolves and life becomes light and joyous.
Why do people meditate all over the world?...
Meditation & spiritual Inquiry (often referred to as Satsang) catches thought (ego chatter) in action ~ this noise is not ours, it has been accumulated from others, life conditioning, parents, teachers, peers and so on...
Intuitive awareness based meditation starts to make us aware of that which takes us away from the natural peace that we truly are ~ rather than passing thought being our unconscious ruler.
In turn, a deeper peace begins to reveal itself ~ the heavenly love within ~ and we begin to experience a natural connection to ourselves and others that is far more beautiful, no matter what the outer circumstances are...
Our True Nature flowers and our lives become smooth and peaceful with a natural flow and harmony...
“When ego is seen from the True witnessing presence, the investment in it dissolves and life becomes light & joyous”.

Inevitably, questions, confusion & uncomfortable emotions can arise on the return journey to the True Self and this is what I assist with.

So true - each time I re-visit these blogs, the more I “get it”.On first reading, it may feel like something to ponder or just allow to “gently shower” over me but, then, the experience of having read the words, followed by lmy daily practice (be it in meditation or living life as a meditation), bit by bit, the realisation surfaces, it all becomes clearer. thank you so much Jolene xx
