為什麼人們會擁有有時會帶來誤導的「小我」（Ego，自我）？小我的本質有時可能非常黑暗；有許多衝動會將一個人拉入不符合其最高與最佳利益的行為或習慣中，並以負面或反社會的方式影響著他人。當一個人屈服於小我所提供的衝動與誘惑時，可能會導致他們偏離自己的靈性道路，走上另一條未知且往往不健康的道路，直接引發業力的反彈。
然而，小我並非邪惡之物，所有人類都擁有它是有原因的。它是告訴你「你有多棒」的那個聲音，而地球上的每個人都必須擁有自信，才能滿懷信心地在世界上站穩自己的腳步。健康的小我至關重要，它能讓你愛自己、接納自己並尊重自己，使你成為社會中一個有能力且受到重視的成員。然而，一個膨脹的小我會讓你的大腦對你耍花招，告訴你你比別人更好、更有價值，因此可以免受那些本應適用於所有人（包括你）的規則所約束。
在充滿愛的家庭中長大的孩子，最有可能學到人人平等且都值得尊重的道理。隨著年齡增長，他們會感受到被愛與被重視，這使他們在慶祝自己成功的同時，也能容許他人取得成功而不會心生嫉妒。然而，那些童年被忽視、缺乏愛的人，學到的是愛與忠誠必須透過抗爭去贏得、而不是自然獲得的，因此他們往往在分享故事和成就時更容易遇到困難。如果他們感到自己毫無價值，就更可能發展出一套藉由貶低他人來讓自己在別人眼中看起來或感覺更好的策略。但這種策略很少能長期瞞天過海；要看穿一個連自己都不相信自己所說之話的人，是輕而易舉的事！
目前世界各國的領導人中，存在著許多不健康小我的例子，其中大多數為男性，但並非全部。領導人必須相信自己的願景，並讓追隨者共同參與，才能讓願景轉化為現實。然而，一位優秀的領導者會促進他人的成長與領導力，使他們的團隊能夠發展出造福整個組織的技能。如此一來，每件事與每個人都會開花結果、蓬勃發展。相反地，如果一位領導者變成了獨裁者，其導致的團隊集體失去力量，只會引發幻滅、怨恨與動盪。在這種能量下，民主將會消亡，而領導者及其人民的靈魂也將開始枯萎。
「宇宙小我」（Universal Ego）接納萬物合一，且每個人都是平等且相同的。因此，在合一的能量中，每個人都可以期待受到尊重與慷慨的對待，因彼此的差異而被接納，因各自的獨特性而被愛。在一個給予支持、滋養的環境中，一個人會有更多機會去珍視自己的價值，並在必要時將自己放在第一位，但絕對不會以犧牲任何他人為代價。這正是人民對其領導者的期待。而目前世界上許多領導人缺乏同理心與慈悲心，正導致掌權者與那些仰賴領導者來維持其健康、豐盛與安全的庶民之間，裂痕日益擴大。擁有膨脹小我和浮誇表現的人，除了他們自己之外，對任何人都毫無指望。
如果你的小我正在告訴你「你一無是處」或者「你比任何人都好」，那麼你還有功課要做！無論你對自己抱持何種信念，都會投射到他人身上，並成為他人衡量是否信任、相信你，還是不信任你並進而與你保持距離以保護自身能量的雷達。
我是大天使麥克。
Archangel Michael: The Nature of the Ego
Channel: Victoria Cochrane | Source
Why do people have an ego, which can sometimes be misleading? The nature of the ego can be very dark; there are many urges that can pull a person into behaviours or habits that are not for their highest and best, and that impact on others in a negative or anti-social way. When a person gives in to the urges and temptations that the ego offers, it can lead to them being swayed off their spiritual path into another that is unknown and often unhealthy, leading straight to karmic repercussions.
The ego, however, is not evil, and there is a reason all humans have one. It is the voice that tells you how great you are, and every human on Earth must hold self-belief to be able to hold their position in the world with confidence. A healthy ego is essential to allow you to love, accept and respect yourself as a valuable and valued member of society. An inflated ego, however, will allow your mind to play tricks on you, telling you that you are better than others, more worthy and, therefore, exempt from the rules that would otherwise apply to all, including you.
A child who grows up in a loving home will most likely learn that all people are equal and deserving of respect. As they grow older, hey will feel loved and valued, enabling them to celebrate their own successes while allowing others to achieve success without feeling jealous. People who have had neglectful and unloving childhoods, however, have learned that love and loyalty must be fought for and won, not achieved, and are therefore more likely to have trouble sharing stories and successes. If they feel worthless, they are more likely to develop strategies for putting people down in order to make themselves look or feel better in other people’s eyes, but this strategy rarely fools people for long; it is easy to see through a person who doesn’t believe themselves what they are trying to tell you!
There are many instances of unhealthy egos in the leaders of the world at present, the majority of them being male, but not all. Leaders must believe in their vision and get their followers on board to allow the vision to grow into reality. However, a good leader will facilitate growth and leadership in others, enabling their people to develop skills to benefit the organisation as a whole. Everything and everyone will blossom and thrive. If, however, a leader becomes a dictator, the resulting disempowerment of their people will only lead to disillusionment, resentment and unrest. In this energy, democracy dies and the souls of the leaders, as well as their people, begin to wither.
The Universal Ego accepts that all is one and that everyone is equal and the same. Therefore, in the energy of Oneness, every person can expect to be treated with respect and generosity, accepted for their differences and loved for their uniqueness. In a supportive, nurturing environment, a person will have much more opportunity to value their worth and to put themselves first when necessary, but not at the expense of any other person. This is what people expect of their leaders, and the absence of empathy and compassion in many of the world’s leaders at the moment is causing a widening rift between those in power and those whose livelihoods depend on them as leaders to keep them healthy, abundant and safe. People with inflated egos and flashy displays help no-one but themselves.
If your ego is telling you that you are either no good or better than anyone else, you have work to do! Whatever you believe about yourself will project out to others and will be a radar for them to either trust and believe in you, or to distrust you and to therefore disassociate with you in order to protect their own energy.
I AM Archangel Michael.
