Dear Negative ego re: [indecision]

While booking for my air ticket for my upcoming trip to HK, you tried to put me in two minds. Because the prices of air tickets have gone up considerably on my preferred dates of travel, you say it is ok to not to make a decision yet, while in the background trying to introduce all kinds of negative thoughts about the travel arrangements.

I observe that you were trying to introduce fuzziness in my mind and to also engage my emotional body in a negative sense. Logically speaking with such a short time span left, there is no chance the prices are coming down, for they will be going up. So I took a deep breath, spent 2 mins to clear my mind and made a decision. I learned from Dr Stone that making a 'bad' decision is better than not making a decision at all and I am glad I didn't flow your train of fuzzy thoughts.

I am happy that all the arrangements have been made, and I am also taking a day off while in HK since I didn't get the preferred date to come home. So I will make use of my day off with some sightseeing and a little half day retreat by myself. Thanks but no thanks to you negative ego.

Dear Negative ego re: [judgments]

You said all kinds of things while I was standing at the podium waiting for people to turn up for the talk. You said they were rude, disrespectful and lack common courtesy, and you said these not in observation but with a certain level of spitefulness. I let your words slip by, making sure I was not energising them just focusing on my breathing and connecting with the Divine and why I was there in the first place.

I was invited to give a lunch time talk at a big local corporation and it was due to begin at noon. When noon came along, only 3 turned up. I asked how many were going to be present, they said 30. By 12.10, I told the organizer that I would start in 2 minutes. She said, it is best to wait till 1/2 the numbers have turned up, so I asked firmly and calmly, what time will that be? She was uncomfortable that I was making a firm stand and so she said, can we wait till 12.15? I agreed. The talk was uneventful as most of the participants were not engaging and many seemed to there only for the food! But credit must be given to the handful who were upbeat throughout. I did my part and left.

After the talk, you wanted me to compare my time with other big corporations and how much more polite, organized and graceful they were. But I told you to stop! Negative ego I can see how you would try to sway me in your direction, but I will remain firm and do my part to connect with God in all of life's situations. Be gone!

Dear Negative ego...

I see the traps you set up for many on the spiritual path. Having people believe that they are on the path of mastery when they have spiritual knowledge and having people believe that they are on the way to mastery just because they have certain knowledge and information. I have fallen into your trap in the past. And I will not allow you to trap me again.

I know that what I know in my mind and my patterns of behaviour must be in alignment with God consciousness. To paraphrase Dr Stone, if what we know and what we do are not in alignment, this will result in separative consciousness. And indeed these are words of wisdom, and are so true.

So I am determined to do what I have to do to keep on transforming my thoughts (conscious and subconscious ones), my feelings/emotions, my speech, my actions to be in total alignment with what I know through my spiritual studies. It is certainly not enough to know, I must act, breathe and be the God consciousness on every level of my being.

Negative ego, I know you are not going to just let me go so easily. But I want you to know that I am aware of your illusionary nature and I will keep on working on clearing these illusions for as long as I am in existence in God's universe so that my reality will be in alignment with the reality of God. And that's a promise!

Dear Negative Ego re: [focus]

I have to give you credit for trying, you are quite persistent in your pursuits. I guess you are just doing your job to stay alive. But I work for God so I will not consciously help you to stay afloat by feeding you in big or small ways.

I almost got caught in your game yesterday when you used your Lower Seducer to try to distract me from doing what I was supposed to do, telling me that what you had in mind was more important. Thank God I saw through your game after a minute or so, and decided to call on Lower Seducer's twin, the Higher Seducer to talk me out and through the process

I may falter at times negative ego, but I won't be seduced by you.
