To understand what Death of Ego is we have to understand what Ego is and how it can help or affect you.

Ego Tool

Ego isn’t “bad” nor is it “good”, it is merely a tool used for your experience, it is a part of you here on Earth. Ego was created so when it attaches to a soul it insures that the soul will have the experience of that reality they are born into, in this case Earth. Egos job is to keep you in the “separated reality” of Earth so you stay focused on your experience on Earth.

Balloon and String Concept

Imagine you are a balloon, but with no string so you continue to float in the cosmos without a attachment. When your balloon acquires the string (the tool) to hold it to an object, such as Earth, then the string is what represents “Ego”. The string keeps you tied to the experience you are in, Earth, which is a separated reality.

Ego is natural and it is part of every single one of us here on Earth. Ego is beautiful when the tool is used wisely, safely, consciously and with understanding.

Now, Going back to the balloon example – IF you FORGET that your string is just doing its job by holding you to Earth’s experience, then the string (Ego) takes its job MORE serious. Ego overtime will make you believe this “attachment” (the string) is the “only” experience. From there, you fall into full separation from who you truly are and forget you are a balloon that has always been free to float where it pleases.

Ego Becoming Defensive: Autopilot & Unlearning

If Ego is not addressed it can turn into a form of defense mechanism overtime. This part of yourself begins to learn all kinds of habits formed by watching others and society. It can be hard to hear your true self after Ego continues to grab all kinds of learned habits that now one must unlearn. Ego wants to hold on to all the beliefs formed overtime so it can become defensive when you want to face the truth that certain habits or thoughts no longer serve you.

When one is in “autopilot” it may be be difficult to realize you need to take the wheel and drive. Many stay in autopilot all their life. There is a way to break-free from this autopilot that ego has took you on a ride for. It is: Becoming more aware and unlearning habits that truly aren’t YOU. Unlearning habits is how Ego falls apart to be the basic tool of just attachment it was meant to be. Ego merely did its job over the years of protecting you but it begins to build and learn so much which can create confusion because you aren’t being YOU.

When one realizes Ego is the driver in almost every single day activities and thoughts it can feel chaotic. You begin to hear truly what you say, react and think. This build up is recognition within yourself that you have not been the driver for a very long time. But it’s ok! The Death of Ego has begun. You are what must change to help everything around you grow and that realization can be difficult for some. Your soul is crawling it’s way through to help remind you of your true nature, the balloon, free and loved. 

Death of Ego

When the Death of one’s Ego has begun it can feel confusing. Almost like if you were “fake” this whole time and now see clearly who you are but your current actions haven’t yet matched it. This can led a lot of individuals to get antsy or begin a shaming process within themselves because they realize how “out-of-touch” they were.

Don’t expect yourself to fix many habits fast, little by little guide yourself to the next best choices. It can feel overwhelming if you think of all the unlearning one must due, but never feel intimidated by the process. Simply: Be gentle with yourself.

What’s holding you back may be how you react to certain situations, the way you talk to loved ones, or taking accountability for things you can correct. Depending on your experiences on Earth up to this moment you have learned certain habits. Many of us have the same habits due to similar experiences, (experience examples can be: childhood upbringings, social groups , locations, ect.) and that’s why we can be a “trigger” to one another but who you truly judge in the end is yourself.

Triggers

When you see someone doing something you do or have done (or saw done) it can “trigger” and you may end up reacting or judging them. If you have healed certain triggers you wouldn’t react when others do it. The focus isn’t the other person, it’s yourself. What can you do to change how you feel about the trigger within yourself when others do it. A healthier & clearer solution on how to respond or even not respond at all. This is one way to work on habits you wish to unlearn. Ego makes you feel like you must judge rather then observe and understand. Working backwards on habits is a healthy way to learn why you do the habit in the first place.

Never be intimidated by the work you must do to achieve being the best YOU. If you want peace you have to work for it NOW through your daily actions & thoughts that is what will change your future. You must let ego slowly die and remind it that you are to flow with your experiences, not attach or judge. Ego is what chooses to judge or react. YOU, the true you, has the ability to be at peace and be ok with emotions as they pass through you but with no reaction ego attached.

Death of Ego is a beautiful process that is part of your experience here. Don’t judge yourself or others. Focus on creating a lifestyle for yourself that satisfies your experience here , not materialized, an experience more divine. A spiritual experience.
