Life’s Battles with Your Ego:

How many battles are you fighting?

So this journey, This Life most certainly has battles. They are like bumps in your road of life. If you are journeying, if you are walking this road then surely there will be ups and downs. If you are living, then this will most likely describe your life. Look at the bumps on your road as battles. Isn’t it true that you battle with the bumps you hit on your journey called Life?

So how much do you battle mentally and emotionally with each bump? How long do you stay in battle over this knot in the road? Are you battling and engaging so long with one in particular it’s as if you are walking backwards? Think about that. Are you walking backwards on your journey? Are you walking facing backwards in your life?

Then all of a sudden as you walk backwards you encounter another battle. OH NO!  Answer this: How many battles are you fighting now? You have two battles going because the last one was never settled in peace. You never turned around and faced forward. You never even stayed in step with the Present Moment. Your not in the NOW, you are in the THEN!

Look back if you must, but do not stare- so they say. They say this because YES, the last battle has lessons for you. It holds wisdom if you keep walking and get the 100 mile perspective from down the road out of your emotional attachments to it. However, if you should choose to stay with that battle, the battle stays with YOU. Notice how many battles you never gave up in your life. Have you ever surrendered to a war not worth fighting? Have you noticed only YOU suffer?

If you are walking around with war wounds- OK. You learned. If you are walking around with anger, unforgivness, resentment- NOT OK. If you are still attached to it, then you are still battling the last encounter, which sadly may have been years, and Years, and YEARS ago! Stop battling. Put down your weapons. Face forward. Then stare at your feet and the ground beneith you. If you are going to stare – stare into the Present Moments eyes, where all your peace, serenity, love, contentment and happiness can be attained. In this instant you can blow the whistle on your mind and call yourself back to the NOW. Be in the now. Don’t battle in the Past nor prepare for the Future. Let go of each battle as quickly as possible, because you have no idea…that … as you live This Life, when the next Resistance will jump out of the woods at you. You have no idea when you will see something you get sucked into battle with.  Life is unpredicatble that way. It is why you are in this great BIG experiement of life. Everything is an experiement.

ASK YOURSELF:

If you had a choice of 3 battles at the same time or only 1, what would you choose? If you had your choice of then just 1 battle or NO battles, which would you choose? Tell us Peaceful Warrior. Tell us the Truth.  Drop your Pride.  Stand. Stand here. Then keep walking.

See past your anger and the lie that you need to battle.

There is nothing for you to guard against.

Realizing you are at war with the Ego

You are the warrior on this journey. You seek peace but first you must know you are at war. This war is raged in your very own mind. Peace is not out there to attain. You must first step into this awareness.  The process of creating peace will require awareness and discipline- combined.

You must also trust your own Truth above anyone else’s. No matter how you have been previously trained to battle you will have to undo that training. That is your former training of our mixed up world at war. A world that prepares us to battle against Fear creating more of itself, thus creating immense suffering. The cycle continues.

So peaceful warrior, the new discipline will mean you must take new actions. It will be a new practice. A new training for battle. Only this time we are not allowing you to battle at all. You will surrender. Surrender to this war. This is done for yourself most importantly. This is the way to peace. The warrior has control. As a warrior you will have ultimate control over all your internal battles. You will refrain when needed. You will not repress. You never fall victim on this battle field. Emotions will not get the best of you.

Key Insight: Awareness of the “mind/mine field”

Know you are at war in your own mind. You have been trained heavily for this by your parents, teachers and society. Drop your weapons. Pick up awareness.

Are you aware?

Are you ready?

Will you surrender?
