Dear Negative Ego re: [parenting]

I was reading to my young daughter her bed time story last night and you tried hard to get in into your act. My daughter was asking me a question and I answered her patiently, three seconds later, she asked me the same question and I repeated my answer. Five seconds later she asked the same question again. I could see you coming in and wanting me to get into your act. So I breathed in deeply and answered her again. Then she went on to ask me the same question two more times. I let it pass and said, I'm going to continue reading the book and you can ask me your question later. We finished the book and my young daughter forgot about her question.

This incident reminded me of a video I saw (see below) on youtube. Negative ego, I can see how you would love to jump in and introduce your negative thoughts and feelings. But I am not going to play your game. Be gone.

You've been trying pull me off centre the past few mornings. I am happy to say by today, your voice has almost diminished with regards to the situation with my dog. I am not going to give you power in this, so you might as well stay away.

My 13 year old beagle, Trix who is deaf and almost blind has picked up this habit of barking now every morning at 5am. Beagles with sharp noses can smell anything a mile away. So Trix knows when I am awake even though she is confined at the back kitchen for her own safety (but she can smell me!) and she is insistent that taking her for her walk should be the first thing I do now instead of waiting for 6 or 6.30am, which means my morning routine is also now thrown off. So she barks to get my attention and she knows that I will go to her because I don't want to wake the entire neighourhood up with her incessant baying. Her barking tends to echo through the whole condo estate!

Anyway, negative ego, your efforts to introduce irritation and anxiety towards the dog is not working. I spotted it on the first day they surfaced. But I chose not to energise them, but made the conscious effort instead to remain even and calm. Changing my morning routine is no big deal, it is working out fine with me and Trix. So negative ego, stay away!

Dear Negative Ego re: [parenting]

My young daughter has been asking me lots of questions about God, heaven and death. Questions such as where was she before she was born? Did we know each other as little girls when we were in heaven with God? How does God look like? If God made everything, then why are houses built by people?

You negative ego tried to look for easy ways out of this by recommending answers that are delusional and untrue. You will try to look for ways to escape these questions. You do not want her to know the truth, neither do you want her to be educated in the right way.

I make my stand clear with you that I will not allow you to interfere in her spiritual education. I will be creative in my age relevant replies to allow her to understand within her scope. I will not allow you to instill impatience even if her questions come at an 'inconvenient' time. You try so hard at times, but please negative ego you are not winning at this, just be gone!

Dear Negative ego re: [little irritants]

Yesterday I bought a story book for my daughter which costs about $12. Later on in the day, I saw the same book which costs $10 in another shop. I thought to myself, I paid 20% more at the other shop! And I will never go back there again!

As I pondered on my thoughts, at first I thought I was coming from power. Then I realised that I made that decision based on disgruntled feelings. In a small way, I felt like I was 'cheated'. In other words I was a victim. And I had given you, the negative ego power over me over this small mater. I allowed you to instigate feelings of being 'cheated'.

So I decided to change the way I thought and felt. I decided that I now know another place to purchase the range of story books that my daughter enjoys at a better price. And that I paid the additional $2 the first time around as a 'service' to obtain this information. Once I looked at it from this perspective, I realised I was no longer a victim but a master of my consciousness, which in turn magnetizes greater abundance in my life.

I know this is true, because I have time and time again worked with the power of magnetization in a positive way. So negative ego, get out of my way, don't try to use the little things in life to get to my mind, I will make sure I am one step ahead of you. You have no place on my path to the greater abundance of God!
