Test Your Ego

[Judge]

If you ego (self concern) blocks manifestation, then how can we now that for sure?

We need to test it

Try this.......

As ego is strongest within your core beliefs then that's the place to see how it's undermining any thought, emotions and focus you layer on top.

Example: Relationships.

Let's say you have trouble with relationships.

You can't find a relationship that lasts or of value because there is too much self conern within your core beliefs about relationships. When you think about (perceive) the ideas about realtionships, you think a lot about how you (ego) will be affected.

I will have to share my life
I hate myself, I have no love to give
I will have to change
I will have to give up something
I'm too fat for love
I'm to selfish to love
I'm not ready for a relationship

All of these thoughts (core beliefs) are all egoic and about self concern. You can't allow a relationship to happen, because you run the concept of love or friendship through these self limiting, self concerning beliefs.

You have established these thoughts as the fundamentals that rule and govern your life about relationships and relationships just don't flow, they are hard to manifest and manitain.

Ego is bascially 'what's in it for me' and 'how will this affect me' thoughts and questions. The ego wants to deny love, because it identifies strongly with lack. You weren't born like this, but gained this self concerning premise through, family, friends and society.

You can use whatever method (affirmations, emotions, writing, visualisation) you prefer, to unblock your egoic self concern that is at the core of your beliefs. Take all the false ideas about realtionships and consider and choose their opposites.

This is the basic premise of LoA, but many people can't see how strong their ego is affecting their core beliefs, so no matter how much thought, emotion and focus, the results are weak or non existance.

Relationships, money, success, every desire has the potential to be undermined by your egoic core beliefs. So take your ego for a test drive today and see how it's limiting your life

Core beliefs are our understanding of this world depending on the things we have experienced and the limitations of our imagination. I am sure not everyone understands everything, because they have not experienced everything. ^^

I don't think these are value. Value with respect to your examples should be those that are for a reason or a specific purpose.

Ex. I want to be in a relationship because she's helps me. She's useful. Etc.

Core beliefs or a person's own theme is interchangeable. ^^, I don't think one person is limited by them.

Ego is bascially 'what's in it for me' and 'how will this affect me' thoughts and questions. The ego wants to deny love, because it identifies strongly with lack. You weren't born like this, but gained this self concerning premise through, family, friends and society.

Ego seeks affirmation and acknowledgment, that may be love. So it doesn't deny it all the time.

You can use whatever method (affirmations, emotions, writing, visualisation) you prefer, to unblock your egoic self concern that is at the core of your beliefs. Take all the false ideas about realtionships and consider and choose their opposites.

This is the basic premise of LoA, but many people can't see how strong their ego is affecting their core beliefs, so no matter how much thought, emotion and focus, the results are weak or non existance.

There is also a possibility that LOA does not work.

Relationships, money, success, every desire has the potential to be undermined by your egoic core beliefs. So take your ego for a test drive today and see how it's limiting your life

I think what you mentioned increases a person's ego if he succeeds and decreases a person's ego if he fails.


Interesting post though.

I am quite confident that it is is a person's habitual beleifs, which is what makes up their Ego, that determine what manifests in their lives. The difficulty arises because these beleifs are unconscious and largely learned in childhood, and do not always support what we want. I know, for example, that I learned in childhood that "You are not socially acceptable". No matter how much I may want to meet my soul-mate, it is not going to happen untill I change that core beleif because until then I will be manifesting not being socially acceptable, and therefore not meeting any lovers. You may have learned that there's never enough money, so no matter how much you want lots of money you're not going to get it until you change that beleif to one that there is indeed enough money. I have read, and I beleive it, that the biggest difficulty that people have with manifesting what they want is that they haven't identified and changed these habitual beleifs they have that don't support what they want.

Those factors (unconscious learned in childhood) you mentioned are true. I agree with you, the nature and circumstance of our situation affects our beliefs. ^^

What a strange question

Obviously I would say it because I believe it.

And from the practical application of what I've written, I've self proved it, so IMO it has value. Maybe you can prove it wrong (for you) but that makes no differrence to me because I have proved to me it's right and if I can do that........then it may have value for someone else.

To each his own then. Maybe we should approach this further where we have others prove our ideas. If others acknowledge it, we'll learn further.

who taught you your core beliefs? just curious what you think....

So you base your reality and beliefs on what others tell you is true and how many agree what is true?

That is exactly why so many people have trouble with concepts like the LoA.

Broad spectrum approaches that sometimes work depending upon multiple variables.

Still it does sell a lot of books

Um no, what i'm saying is that we test if what we believe is true, is also applicable to others.

I have no questions about LOA, the issue is about what we believe in and if it is applicable to others, not just to ourselves.

LOA sells lots of books because it gives people hope ^^, lots of testimonies of people who are successful, but I believe that if you can't replicate it, then it may have been just a random event.

I find that certain people set my ego off, and I prefer to try and distance myself from them and the bad situations that tend to arise. I am changing how I interact with them (well...kinda, it is difficult) and things are getting better

And no I'm not talking about love interests but that damned thing they call "family"

*sigh*

There is a pretty good one from Tolle on this issue: YouTube - Being Present in Relationships - Eckhart Tolle

Having been there done that, I see the initial post from Judge as pretty much bang on.

A lot of these issues are furthermore being reinforced by self-fulfilling prophecies. "I knew this would happen etc."

You see the problem, you know it will come, and yes, see I was right
