I was just visiting with my cousin, trying to help her with a tarot reading and I felt the urge to channel. Below is what came through, from a group of other-worldly voices that I hear every once-in-a-blue-moon. Enjoy!

——————————————————–

What do you want?

Do you want your ego to be happy?

Or do you want your soul to be happy?

Because what your soul wants is for you to soar.

Your ego wants you to stagnate and to withdraw yourself from the society of others.

It wants you to be alone, to be unchangeable…because that is when you pay it more attention, when you give its voice more credence.

So you must decide whether you want to make your soul happy or make your ego happy.

To do what makes the soul happy, what is right for the spirit, you must often times wrestle with the unhappiness that it causes for the ego.

The ego will fight the happiness of the soul at every step, in subtle and in violent ways.

But, like all changes to the pattern of life in which the ego had little say, it eventually settles and relinquishes its control, realizing that it has lost the battle and must now adjust or perish.

Spirit is the essence of life. It is where your true inner happiness is born.

But ego is the protector, tempering the whims of spirit with the true reality of incarnation on your plane of existence.

At least this is the original purpose of ego. But ego is proud and jealous, it oversteps its bounds and if allowed to continue it will overstep those new bounds and so on and so forth until it supersedes soul and rules the roost.

The best relation is the balance of ego and spirit or, if one must be dominant, the rule of the soul over the ego.

Ego helps you to see things from a new point-of-view, the point-of-view for which you chose to incarnate.

But decisions made solely based upon the opinion of ego will never be those that bring you happiness, because, as we have said before, the true source of your inner happiness, your true personal joy, lies in the realm of your soul.

Let the soul be thy guide, thy compass. Quiet yourself and listen to the words of your soul, your heart.

What is it longing for? What is it telling you is right?

Allow the ego to fade in your moments of silence and take back that inner silence for the spirit.

This is why ego disturbs meditation so often, why it amplifies the sounds of life and makes the body heighten every itch…it does not want even a few moments for the voice of the soul.

Overcome the rational arguments and unfailing jealousy of the ego.

Use it for what it was originally intended but forbid it to overstep those bounds.

When walking through the green forest, the flower gardens and the public parks, be present with the spirit if you can.

Tell the ego to let go of its insistence on reminding you of groceries that must be bought or deadlines that must be met.

Just listen to the spirit as it rejoices with the birds, as it basks in the warm sun and smiles at the bright petals and leaves of nature.

We cannot always be so separate from the ego, but by working on the balance of spirit we can empower these moments of separation.

Allow the soul to prescribe your decisions, your changes in life and empower them.

With the soul as compass, every step on the journey will be as happy as it possible can be.

Let not your temporary ego rob the eternal soul of joy.
