Dear Negative ego re: [illusion]

As things are getting busy as I am leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow, you have been trying to jump in to start your own party. I am not going to give in to you. You introduced energy sapping thoughts such as, there is too much to do, there's not enough time, or it is too tiring. These are sliding off my golden bubble of protection. I want you to know that I already have my schedule in place, so don't try to sway me into your patterns. I am not going to let you pull me off centre.

I am happy to say that I am full of energy and I am on target with what I want to achieve today and even have time to spend with my family and to complete my chores.

Dear Negative Ego re: [duality]

This morning, one of my neighbours who lives below us was screaming at her live in helper on the balcony. She screamed for a long time.

You negative ego tried to put me in a state of your duality, by first saying it is none of my business and I should just keep quiet despite the screams and noise made early in the morning. And then you decided to swing to the other extreme by saying that, I should go down there and tell her off because she was waking up the whole estate.

I thought to myself, I am not going to listen to you negative ego. But I will take action that will neither be intrusive nor offensive. So I called up the security guards and told them of the situation. They said they will have a look and will remind her of the disturbance she is causing to her neighbours. That calmed the situation for now.

I observe that this neighbour is bordering on psychologically abusing her helper and if out of control she might just physically abuse her as well. I said to myself that I will do whatever I can to inform the authorities if things get out of hand, because I can see clearly what goes on on her balcony from my office at home.

(The helper like many others in Singapore are foreigners coming here to earn a meagre income for hardwork [modern day slavery] and often times do not realise that they have rights as human beings because they grew up in third world countries with little understanding of this concept of human rights.)

Negative ego I will not listen to the illusion of your duality. I will do whatever I can that is spiritually and karmically right for my fellow brother/sister in need.

Dear Negative Ego re: {household chores}

I saw how you tried to come into my mind when I woke up early yesterday morning with the aim to re-decorate the living room. I felt that the current setting in the living room was not allowing the energies to flow effectively. So I started thinking of a better layout plan. You tried to stop me by saying that re-decorating is going to be disruptive for everyone and that it was not worth doing it, you just wanted me to procrastinate.

I continued on with the plan in mind and gently told my daughter that all her toys will be moved, and she accepted it without putting up a fight. You negative ego then tried again to instill negative thoughts by saying that it will take up far too much time and energy to do this. But I ignored you.

Eventually it took less than 2 hours for me and my family to move the furniture around the entire living, cleaned up the dusty corners, packed the toys into a large wicker 'treasure chest' and immediately the entire room looked much brighter and bigger! The energies were immediately renewed and flowing much more effective. I am so glad to have put in the 2 hours even though we were going to have a pretty busy day.

We now have a much nicer family room to enjoy. No thanks to you negative ego.
