“I don’t want to miss an opportunity. But … but I’m shaking,” a friend, Henry, said.
Henry is artistic, and he was facing a whole new venue for his art. A big opportunity.
“And a big risk,” Henry said.
In talking with spiritual elders … the conversation often turns to the idea of “your essence versus your ego.”
Henry’s essence is “artist.” His ego is “scared guy worried about making a mistake.”
The idea is that one’s ego is made of fear. The ego tries to protect you. But the problem is that it is influenced by genetics. The people who passed on their genes were those who ran away from tigers and lions.
The ones who said, “Here, Kitty, Kitty” … got eaten.
Fear, for many of us, is a first reaction.
The ego tries to protect us. And the ego keeps us small.
On the other hand, the Goddess wants us to experience Our Essence. The God and Goddess placed divinity in you. That’s your essence.
What is your essence about? Growing and giving.
- Make space to shift.
Some artistic people I know keep pen and paper (how old-fashioned) next to their bed. They write down ideas as they wake up in the morning. At times, they capture some divine inspiration.
Many of us meditate with a journal nearby to record the inspiration we receive.
- Drop seeking willpower in favor of making it a routine.
Several people I know say they have trouble with making meditation a daily ritual.
However, making a routine—or tying meditation to a routine you have—can support your spiritual life.
Allison, someone I know, does a brief breathing meditation in her bathroom immediately after brushing and flossing her teeth.
That’s a routine connected to a routine.
- Pray to the Goddess.
Here is a prayer you can use.
My Lord and Lady, who granted me my essence,
Help me separate my essence from my ego.
For my ego is not my true self.
Support me as I walk my true path.
So Mote It Be.
May these insights support your path
Blessed Be,
Moonwater
