Reclaiming Your Imagination From Your Negative Ego

8/4/2021

8 Comments

 
I talked about the importance of visualization and imagination last week, but what happens when your imagination has been hijacked by your negative ego? If all you can imagine is darkness, and worst-case scenarios, then your negative ego is controlling your imagination.
 
First thing first, take your power back from your negative ego. Recognize that there’s a part of you that, for whatever reason- most likely as a survival mechanism, started to give more attention and energy to things turning out badly. Maybe there’s a part of you that gets a sense of righteousness or power out of seeing the negative come to fruition. The, “See I was right, I knew X (something bad) would happen!” Or maybe negativity is all you experienced and knew as a child, so it’s easier to imagine the dark than the light. 
 
Take your power back from the past, release self-judgement, and have empathy towards the part of you that didn’t have hope or optimism. Then view your past through a different lens: can you see the younger you and have compassion for what they went through? That the only way they could survive, was either by attaining some semblance of power and control through being right(eous), or by not expecting the positive and the light. As you have compassion for that little you who couldn’t think positively because it was too painful, also bring in the understanding that that you was doing the best they could. And hope could’ve been a dangerous thing, especially if your hopes were crushed over and over. 
 
Maybe this didn’t start in early childhood, maybe it was adolescence, or young adulthood when it was too painful to think of positive things potentially happening. Discover what age it was when your beliefs were shattered that there could be light in your life, and in the world. That’s the where you need to send love and healing.
 
Through your imagination or through writing, talk to that part of you and let them vent. Let them talk about how it’s too hard to imagine anything positive. Let them speak out all of their pain. Then show them that you, as their future self, make it. That you are greater than any of the bad things that happened. Open to the possibility of believing in goodness and beauty. Say to yourself, “It’s safe for me to believe good things can come to me. It’s safe for me to see and experience a beautiful, healed world.”
 
As you remind yourself it’s safe to release the pain of the past and create a future very different than what you experienced, you release the stored trauma that holds the negative ego in charge. 
 
Then move on to the what if ‘s: “What if I could transcend my pain and have a joyful future? What if I could truly let go of the hurt and live a reality unlike anything I’ve experienced up until now? What would that be like? What would that even look like? What if there could be hope? What if there could be love and laughter? What if I could thrive now? 
 
Be open and willing. Bring your energy and power into this moment. Realize that you in present time can make a different choice. That only you have the power to declare that your negative ego is no longer allowed to rule your imagination. When you feel yourself thinking negative things and having a negative outlook, you can change that. You can choose to believe that good things happen. You can choose to believe in the goodness of humanity. You can choose to believe that the Universe really does have your back. Maybe you feel like that wasn’t true when you were young and maybe you couldn’t believe that before now. But never forget your personal power and the power of choice.
 
Ultimately, do you want to contribute more love or more pain to the world? If you’re reading this, I guarantee you’re in the love category. But even those of us in the love category sometimes get tripped up; it happens, we’re human. So as much as possible, don’t let your negative ego control your imagination. You’re too powerful to keep creating from a place of darkness and destruction. Create from a place of goodness and light and let your imagination flow from there.

I LOVE this concept!! Holy s**t! I always wondered what was wrong with me that when I do guided meditations, my mind always goes to dark places. I thought I was seriously messed up. It is much easier for me to imagine worst case scenarios. The fact that my negative ego “hijacked” my imagination is brilliant. Plus now I know what to do instead of being at its mercy.

Next time I hear anything bad and I have a dark outlook (which is really hard not to do right now), I will change that immediately to holding the best outcome. Now I understand why you always tell me to ask for, “the highest and best good, with harm to none.”

Thank you, thank you!! I can sense gaining my freedom and power now! And contributing more positive energy to my/the world. 🙏🏻💖

Well I hate to admit it, but this one triggered me the first time I read it. I needed to sit with it and read it again. I have such a strong sense of what I think is right, that you’re correct, I do sometimes visualize negative things towards people for not doing what I think is the way it should be done. All that judgment and self righteousness, it completely keeps me in my negative ego. This is not fun to admit, but I guess if I won’t look at it, I can’t heal it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I feel gratitude for what you wrote because I can see myself in the blog and I am choosing to change. I’m choosing to release my righteous moral high ground. It’s time to heal the pain below the behavior.

Thank you.

Bravo to you J. that you sat with it instead of denying it. Righteousness is up big time in the world. The more you heal yours, the more space you hold for others to do the same. And the more you release yours, the less of that energy there is.

Well done my friend!

Hi, another powerful blog! And once again, so timely. It feels like many people would rather be right (righteous) than happy right now. They're so entrenched in their position that they're not asking themselves, "What reality would I like to cocreate with the Divine?" I think this is especially true around the pandemic.

For me, it always goes back to "The physical world is an illusion, it is MY illusion and I get to author it (imagine it) anyway I choose", which speaks to your point about taking back your power. But that means being responsible versus blaming, judging and playing games. Wouldn't it be fascinating if we all continually asked ourselves, " What is the most beautiful reality I can imagine here?" and then focused on that. Or if we said, "What perspective would I most like to be wrong about?" Wouldn't that free up space we're giving to our NE's?

I think it's so magical how your blog is helping us change our perspective. And once again, you do it without shaming people, which only makes them dig in deeper. That's an art Tina, helping people see how they're hurting themselves in a way that empowers change versus stokes their instincts to resist more. That could actually be one of your tag lines for your blog, "Shame-free wisdom!"

Xoxo!!
