Hello once again!
Let me tell you my experience: about 1 and a 1/2 year ago I had an eppisode that crushed my ego! I was devastated for more then 2 months before I started to look for help. I found NLP, and began using it with good results, but in a way I wasn´t feeling 'natural'...Then I found meditation and
I have been practicing it for 1/2 a year now, and I can tell the difference in my behaviour :-) and innerpeace. I thynk NLP is just a clever, and perhaps usefull way of manipulating your ego towards your goals: mine was to get rid of fear.
But the real breakthrough as started after reading Mr. Tolle´s book, 'A New Earth'. I took a look inside myself and my feelings and consequent behaviours. All began to fall in to place as I realised the why´s and how to´s of my ego. The answer is simple: eliminate the ego.
Today, I find myself driving my car with no music, just the sounds of the surroundings and of my peacefull mind; I learned how to recognize my ego and go around it. But still have a lot of work in front of me...sometimes I still find myself getting anxious about an event or a person, it is my ego telling me that maybe I am not good enough to solve this or that or to someone´s eye´s...but I am getting close to it :-)
Another thing: I have a board in my room where I put the things I truly desire, and I found myself looking at pictures of a parent with is child (I have a son
health pictures, a picture of me and my wife smiling, and only one with a jar full of coins - not big houses, cars, lotary tickets, etc...the truth is that I really don´t find myself needing that stuff. I lead a simple and happy life with my family, and wish it to continue that way, that is all.
So, I will continue this inspirational path....and maybe one day I will be righting here that I have lost my ego completly!
