[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 754422, member: 23706"] I am learning the same lessons about how our mind often lies to us and that thoughts are not fact. I study mostly from spiritual (not religious) YouTube channels and books from spiritual teachings. I believe the ego mind is our lower self that talks to us in a mean way. VERY mean! "Person, you look horrible." "Person, you weren't a good mother." "Person, be afraid." I also learned that fear is not a natural state. We can go into love when we fear. And fear and love can not co exist. I learned to manage and change fear by lessons read and by doing nightly guided meditations. I have more control over my mind now. I have made huge strides in dismissing what my ego says to me and living in my highest self. Fear is no longer overwhelming me. I am Christian but have utilized Buddhist teachings. I am not the same and feel 100 percent saner. It feels so free to not even hear my ego half the time. I am shocked that we can turn off these debilitating thoughts but we do have that ability. Some are great at it. I am learning. I am not my thoughts. The ego mind is like my own personal mean girl in my head, telling me how bad I am and about the hazards that will happen in the future, especially to Kay and Jaden. I would feel hopeless because of the voice, this mean girl screaming in my head. Now I try to distract myself into the present. I understand everything you said, Wise. We are very much going in the same direction, both of us. I so appreciate you, Wise!! Blessings and peace to all. [/QUOTE]
