Ego, your best friend :-)

In literature on personal development, often a lot of emphasis lies on how 'bad' the ego is. I do not agree.
Sure, the egoic point of view is the main reason for all misery in the world, but is just a state of consiousness. It is nothing real. It is a trained point of view that is very limited. And fighting against it, only makes it stronger.
In the end the ego and your true self share a common interest: your happiness. The only difference is, the ego tries to achieve that through logic it has learned by observation of this world since it has been born. And since our world has a very limitit view on how to obtain happiness and abundance, so does your ego.
But again, this is nothing real. This is just a trained perspective on the world and it does not help to trie to get rid of it. I think we should talk with our ego. I think we should educate our ego as loving (and conscious) parents would educate their child: through calm and understanding conversation.
The great thing you can discover is that your ego is a great pointer to your own happiness, love and abundance.
Once you learn to work with concepts like abundance, eternity and hapiness, you see that you have to go to your inside for wisdom. Your mind will never tell you any truths on these subjects, as it draws conclusions based on what it observes: lack and limitation. Once you discover your inner guidance, your emotions, and you learn that your guide weather or not you are thinking in the direction of your desired creation, is your feeling good, your ego with it's negative perspective and consequently negative emotions, becomes just as good a guide as any other. When your ego tells you something and it feels bad, you know by the feeling alone, you just have to flip the thought around.
But flipping thoughts around is not so simple. Your ego is very persistent (law of attraction just keeps you feeding the same kind of thoughts). Abraham talks a lot about letting go through meditation these days (big fan by the way), but I think some good converstion with your ego can help you to really eliminate the thought once and for all.
Your ego usually tells you something negative, when it thinks that this is the way to 'get' something. In stead of fighting it, these days, I just agree with it. I agree about the 'thing' we want, but then ask my ego the question what by now it thinks what is the best way to get the think 'we' want. By now it KNOWS that a positive vibe is THE way to get what you want. And then I ask my ego: how does this thought feel you just offered me. It has to agree with me that it feels negative and thereby must create what we DON'T want. So then I ask my ego, what would be the 'right' way of putting it, so that our vibration shifts and we get what we really want. My ego then quickly goes on looking for the thought that will get us where we want to go.
And so you see, just like Jesus sais, you have to love your enemy, because he shows you the way and even becomes your best friend if you learn to talk with him.
Hope this makes some sence :-)
Love you all sweeties x
