Dear Negative ego re: [judgments]

I went to a 3-day conference during the week and enjoyed myself tremendously. I enjoyed listening to all the high achiever speakers and learned a lot. I was feeling so inspired that I posted on my Twitter & Facebook about how I felt inspired by a particular speaker. Immediately after, someone posted a negative comment about this speaker. And then another person did the same. You, negative ego wanted me to feel bad and responsible for their actions. But I was glad to ask you to stay out of this, for I am not responsible for other people's negative actions.

But then, more negative ego comments were posted after that. Of course you found an opportunity to jump in again and you negative ego, wanted me to do several things: 1. feel insulted and taking what they said about the speaker as a personal attack against me, for you wanted me to feel like they have insulted my intelligence and my experience at the conference 2. and you negative ego also wanted me to judge these people for what they said.

Well, you know what negative ego, i was prepared that you would attempt all of the above. I told you immediately, thank you but not now, sorry! I placed you and your negative influences on my palm and violet flamed you as one would on a BBQ! I was glad :)

Negative ego, you can try but you won't get very far.

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 re: [vigilance]

I had a long and intensive weekend of workshops and you tried to take the opportunity to steer me out of my centredness today - on my last day in Malaysia. I got on the coach to take me back to Singapore, but the journey was longer than usual with hiccups and waiting along the way. It became almost a 7 hour coach ride back. There was also a big group of of tourists on the coach who were talking and shouting at the top of their voices throughout the entire journey. I tried to rest but you kept wanting to interfere by injecting all kinds of judgmental thoughts about the coach service, and the tourists.

I said to you, I'm not going to play into your game....not after a long weekend of vigilance that was maintained. But you know what, I knew that something like this was going to happen because it is always wise to expect to be tested and to be ready for it. Despite the weariness, I remained in the eye of the hurricane and came home at peace with myself and how I handled you and myself.

Dear Negative ego re: [judgments]

I was at the post office and saw an obese boy, not more than 6 years old being fed french fries by his mum.  You came into my mind at the sight of the mother and child, and you said in a judgmental way, Look at that! I said to you, not now please.

As I continue to observe both mother and child, I recognize that most people are not educated enough to know what is appropriate and what is inappropriate to feed themselves and their children. And I put it all down to ignorance. You tried to jump in again, saying the mother needs a crash course on diet and parenting!

I shook my head to clear your negative thoughts and said to you, it is none of my business what she does. She does what she does because it is the only way she knows how.

Be gone negative ego, I am not going to feed you. I am aligned with God consciousness and recognise the essence of God in both the mother and child.

Dear Negative Ego re: {control issues}

Yesterday you knocked on my door countless times trying to egg me on, and putting negative thoughts in my mind in my interactions with this particular person who has aggressive control issues. She keeps trying to tell me what to do and what not to do, when she doesn't have a clear picture of what I do. You then kept on egging me, wanting me to react to her remarks.

I chose to dis-identify this person's behaviour from who she really is, i.e. she is a child of God and that her behaviour is not who she is. I also chose to dis-indentify the thoughts you tried to introduce into my mind. I simply allow them to slide off me.

I consciously breathed in God and breathed out God. And I know that all is well in God's reality.

I am glad I stayed with God.

Dear Negative ego re: [judgments]

I am glad I didn't let you have a hold on my mind when a friend whom I've not spoken to for years called me. Just a few weeks ago, I bumped into her nearby my office, but she turned away when she saw me. I let that go as I felt she still had some issues with me (whatever that may be!)

And then she called me yesterday. I was very surprised of course. And you, the negative ego kept on trying to instigate judgments, it was the perfect opportunity for you to come in and introduce negative thoughts about this person. But I am so glad that I was prepared, I knew what you would come up with in my interaction with this friend. So I squashed you in all your attempts to pull me out of centredness, and God consciousness. I focused on listening to my friend from a state of "Now", not allowing the past to affect me.  I am so glad to say that I scored for God! Not this time negative ego. Bye.

Dear negative ego re: [irritation, judgments]

Yesterday you tried to instill agitation when I was tired after my flight and having to wait a long time at immigration. Then the Q at the shuttle bus was long and people were cutting Q. You tried, very hard to make me have judgments about the people cutting Q. I was closed to giving in to you. But I caught my myself and decided it was not worth it. I let it go and the man behind the counter attended to me quickly.

When I go on the bus, you tried again to make me feel irritated when the people who cut my Q decided to sit next to me across the aisle. They were talking loudly. But I told you, not now. I am going to enjoy my ride. I was rewarded with a beautiful view of Kowloon.

Negative ego, I know you will try hard but my perseverance is stronger. Next...
