Watch The Ego

A few days ago I watched my ego churn about.

 

It was trying to run old patterns of gripes, complaints, ways of being. 

I was watching it, feeling the disturbance of it rumble through my body. 

There were temptations to buy into it and become upset or get caught in resistance but I knew that it was just an old way of being, a distortion of my perception that was always going to play the same tune. 

Knowing that, I didn't touch it. I just let it be what it was and watched it move past my awareness like a strange creature that was somewhat dangerous.

The result was total freedom from it and a feeling of power and peace. 

In past times I would have bit on the bait and cause damage to myself and others in the form of suffering and drama. By becoming the ego I would be passing on and enhancing a world-wide waveform of complaining, anger, frustration, emotional gravity, etc. 

But when I simply watch the ego bubble up within me and allow it to be without engaging in it, it is like I am transmuting that energy into nothingness - pure potential - to be used with wisdom and conscious intention. 

I feel like it is healing the planet.
