Most people know they have a personal chakra system. Nearly all of the written material explains an individual’s personal chakra system. What we are going to talk about at this time is a chakra system outside the person’s body and located in the auric field. This chakra system is called “ego” for lack of a better term. It developed outside your body because it was easier looking for answers, confirmations, etc outside of one’s self. It forms very early on in life in most people when we first have to defend ourselves against some outside threat to either our emotional or mental understandings of our self. How to identify it? If you look for everyone else to have the correct answers (for you or anyone else), if you lack self-esteem (as: thinking yourself less than, etc. People call this not enough ego), or it could go the other way where you think you know more than and are an expert in everything…too much ego). Actually ego is neither good nor bad… it just is. It is when we go outside of ourselves instead of inside that causes us problems.

This chakra formed around our first self-defense issues becomes the ego chakra. Not everyone is comfortable with the removal of the outside ego chakra system. One lady felt great pain and discomfort at its removal because so many of her issues in life revolved around her ego. Sometimes it is just easier to have it there, but the benefits of removing it are truly remarkable. It is easier to go within to get the answers, you get better answers that are directly related to you, you won’t appear to be either lacking in self esteem or “egocentric, you will be more self confident and having an inner knowing. Removal of the ego chakra requires a commitment from you because it will change your life, the way you perceive yourself and your perception of the world.

Ego is not a dirty word. As Ceanne DeRohan explains in Right Use of Will, healing our disconnections and non self-acceptance is a matter of personal choice and timing, yet personal choice is not a constant, it changes and expands as a person evolves. What may not seem right to us right now may become right at any other given moment. Spiritual growth has been thought to require death of the ego as with many of the Eastern religions. This is not a true understanding of the situation. There is no problem with ego. Like the mind, it can be a wonderful tool, but always makes a very poor master.

“Denying the ego its right function has created disease in the ego and this disease is the problem. Death of the ego is not a necessary part of Spiritual growth.

“Ego in fact is the part of you that recognizes yourself as you. The ego operates to protect your present level of ability to accept and express. Ego is as Divine as anything else. There is no problem with ego if it sees itself as evolving with the rest of you. You cannot tell the difference between yourself and anything else without ego.”

However, when ego is allowed to express itself as better than those with whom it co-exists, then it attaches itself to power and becomes out of balance. Power can be a wonderful thing too if used in the service of Creation, but he was unable to maintain that attitude as his ego shifted. The power wielded by Beings such as those of the Spiritual Hierarchy and higher spiritual councils is only to be used for the Highest Good. It is not and must not be allowed to be swayed in any way by the individual will.

The problem here is that the Opposition will focus more effort on overcoming a stronger opponent than it will a weaker individual. This is the way it is with the darkside. When other energies are allowed to permeate the essence of a person wielding such powers, their direction can be gradually shifted until that person is serving that Dark Side, often without even knowing it. This is what has happened to some of those channeling the very Beings here to help us all –Beings such as Ramtha. Things change. The Opposition uses a great deal of its energies to infiltrate, corrupt, and otherwise interfere with the efforts going on to help correct the situation on the planet.

In Eye of the Centaur, Barbara Clow is addressed by a God-like being who counsels her on how best to know if the energies she is connected to are of the highest or not:

“You do not have to worry about this question. You are able to know in all situations whether the energy is from me or not. Trust your awareness. All energy that is not from me is energy that we fight to dissipate. The energy that we fight to dissipate is very large and very all-encompassing on your planet, and in our realms it is like a pea. But, if you do not ground and diffuse, magnetize our energy on the earth plane, the earth plane will be destroyed in some form. You will be overcome by that other energy which causes human beings to do things which destroy them.

“You must proceed with your judgmental abilities based upon intuitive perceptions toward the correct source. You must connect, you must do many things with this source. You must protect this source as information is concerned. There are many levels here for doing this. You must work to get the correct words through to the humans by means of writing and by means of speaking. You must exist as a purification force. In all rituals that you participate in, you have the power to purify participants in the ritual, and you have the power to affect to some degree the priests and priestesses, the transmitters of the power. You have the power to go to the temple to purify.

“And you also exist to radiate unconditional love to all beings and all people that you encounter. The magnetic force of the purification of unconditional love is my way of reaching to the human plane. . . As you follow my instructions in this lifetime, you will not succeed on the physical plane. The negative energy forces will overcome the earth plane—not you, the earth plane—in almost all situations. Even my energy sources will be hidden and taken from the people.”

Free Will is the key element here for even the highest spiritual beings have Free Will. To use our Free Will to make the decision to surrender it to the Higher Will we must understand and regain our own sense of individual will or the chance to regress is still present. Again, Barbara Clow:

“But they can become divine only by activating their inherent free will. And free will can be mastered on Earth only by allowing total trust—by seeing from the inner brain [and heart] rather than through the five senses. This skill makes it possible to be on earth and in all other dimensions simultaneously. This is the secret of experiencing oneness with all things.”
