I am better than you!

I am better than you!

Ever said that before? Ever heard someone else say that before? I am better than you. Sounds like something a small child would say doesn’t it? Well, chances are that you have said it many times before. Maybe not even aloud, but you’ve said it to yourself. You have felt that way before. Come on, you trying to tell me that you are not better than a murderer is? You are not better than a rapist is? Who are we kidding here, you are better than them and truth be told (by you) that you are better than most if not all of your co-workers in your office. Hey, you know yourself that sometimes you are better than your spouse is, if not most all of the time. She does not really know what is going on in the “real” world. He does not know what “you” go through everyday. You know you are better than them! I am better than you!
Our Egos would have us believe that each and every one of us is special and a one of a kind person deserving special treatment and attention from everyone, and mostly God. Our Ego is so quick to judge the appearances of others and to compare them to ourselves. We are so fast to compare what “we” have to what they do not have. We cannot get past the fact that we need to be better than someone else, so that we may feel better about ourselves. The Ego makes us think that we need another’s pain and losses to make us complete in our minds.
When we are living from our Higher Consciousness, we are more centered with God and know in our hearts, and spirit that all the differences in people are just surface interpretations. Meaning, we are seeing that the outside shell (earth suit) that we Souls live in through our journey on the earth are just that, suits of skin, but at the core of us is the universal essence that really matters. The same energy that is in you right now reading these words is the same energy that flows through me as I write them. We are both the same. We are one.
There is not a divided, split, or separate God for everyone. It is our Ego that tells us that this is true. There is but one universal God for all. God may come in many forms, Buddha, Allah, Jesus, or Abundance, but there is only one Universe and it is the Universe that gives us the path of Love. When we see each other for what we are, “Gods Love,” we see the fullness of God in each of us and we stop the comparisons. The concept that people should be judged based on how they compare to you, is equivalent to the idea that you are better in the eyes of God. Do you really think that you are better than someone else in the eyes of God? You may want to re-think that. If you believe that you are better in the eyes of God, and then you are implying that, you believe that God’s creations, unlike you in appearance or personality or even interest are errors, Gods failures. But how could God make errors? God made all and all is God. You are a reflection of God and so are your earthly brothers and sisters.
There is no room for doubt or feelings of superiority when learning to live from your Higher Consciousness and not from your Ego.
Lastly, when you view others, see them not as the “earth suits” that we reside in, but welcome them as the Spirit of God that they are. Come to believe that we are all one in holiness. Start loving yourself and others equally.

Poisonous Thoughts

Poisonous Thoughts

Poisonous thought is when we only have an outlook of bad thinks rather than the good of the Universe. Small annoyances can keep you from experiencing the closeness with God. Two (of many) examples that will keep you from a life being close to God are loathing and resentment. When you find yourself putting loathing or resentment on a higher level than peace, you then must know that your Ego is very much at work.
Being negative and uncooperative, you are sending out a signal that you are not interested in receiving love. Sending out negativity will only return negativity. When you decided to work out of your Higher Consciousness, your Ego will retreat and slowly disappear. This will make room for peace and love to come your way because you are sending it out from your higher self.
Another negative is when you are mistrustful or obsessed with suspicion. That is someone that believes that everyone and/or the world is out to do them harm. I would like you to become the opposite of this and have an outlook of trust. See the world and the people in your life as someone you can provide for, to protect, and to do right by them.
This is nothing more than, an attitude adjustment we are giving ourselves. We are just reminding ourselves that there is a divine oneness in all of us. When we work thought our Higher Consciousness, we are reminded to serve in the light of Love, not in harm to others or ourselves. Everyone we meet has something to teach us. We are here to learn and to learn from teachers. It is truly a scheme (our teachers) to become and to have a blissful life and to life in a divine state.
Start thinking of yourself as trusting, and then you will notice your Ego slowly slipping away from the control it has on you. New thoughts of joy and overall good feelings will replace the negative, depressing ideas that the Ego likes to keep you in bondage with, and you will be living from your Higher Consciousness. Now go on with your life and stop the poisonous thoughts.
