Online Life Coaching: Recognizing the Ego

Authentic power comes from your connectivity with the formless, non-temporal realm of pure consciousness, not the ego. It won’t matter how much you achieve or acquire in life, when you’re in the pursuit of power for the sake of feeling superior over others, you will only be living out the desires of your pseudo self. This is why egoic power is frequently followed by corruption.

The feeling of superiority is sublime to the egocentric individual. We see this all the time in the workplace when someone is suddenly placed into a position of authority and as a result, a completely different personality emerges. The super humble co-worker of yours gets appointed to boss, and the ego, sensing power, comes out of its shell. The new power position goes completely to his or her head. In its extreme, egoic superiority in people can be deadly because it elevates the ego to the point where the native stakes his entire identity only on what he or she has achieved. Spiritual Life Coaching can help you to stop identifying with your material accomplishments or failures and free yourself from the ego’s control.

Many egocentric people have been known to commit suicide after suddenly losing worldly forms such as success, power, or fame. Since all form is transitory, when you identify completely with forms, surfaces, or appearances, you have wrapped your entire sense of “I” around nothing more than dust in the wind.

In many world religions, the renunciate is someone who renounces all earthly pleasures and becomes an ascetic, living an austere, spartan life devoid of material things. But just because this individual has given up all his material desires, it doesn’t mean he has transcended the ego. Contrarily, the renunciate may have a bigger ego than a Wall Street banker. Spiritual Life Coaching can help you to transcend your ego and forge a path toward Self Realization.

What appears to be on the outside is not necessarily indicative to the size of the ego on the inside. Egos come in all shapes and sizes, and as the acronym version of the word suggests, “Everyone’s Got One.” Many times people will adopt a particular lifestyle or belief system so that the ego can fulfill its need to feel superior to others. As long as there is a tribal identification, the “I am right and you are wrong,” behavioral dynamic will support the feeling of superiority in the ego.

The ego pervades every field, religion, philosophy, science, art, nationality, race, class, profession, and social status. As long as the need to feel superior over anyone in any way is present, one will remain trapped in their egoic mind. A Spiritual Life Coach can help you to realize that each soul is divine. When you become Self Realized, you’ll be taking your very first steps into a much larger world.
