CPTSD Core Wounds from Childhood Emotional Neglect & Abuse

An extensive list of common and subtle core wounds, along with examples of the active memories that may be at the root of those wounds.

In addition, the graphic covers unmet needs, the ways in which these wounds may express in your life currently, and the unfulfilled desires that underlie these wounds.

This set of exercises is designed to help you chip away at resistance and build hope that you can find love again.

Why are criticism and feedback so hard to take?

It doesn’t matter if you’re in the corporate environment or at home with your nearest and dearest, hearing negative feedback about yourself seems to hit hard, and can shatter the way you thought things worked in an instant.

I – like so many of us – have been fascinated by human behavior my whole life, which of course has lead to a lot of reading books, biographies and watching documentaries, and I’ve loved the serial killers and cult leaders and their stories.

So this weekend I watched a completely new one, on a place in California called the Buddhafield, watching it with a new level of awareness obviously.

It dawned on me that there is a pattern in what all former cult members say about the evolution of cult leaders – they all start out as so holy and so pure, but then it becomes about sex eventually. And when the whole thing collapses, there’s always a sexual scandal attached – one of an extreme nature usually.

A Course in Miracles clearly says (repeatedly, the whole text through lol) that special relationships of any kind are an ego illusion and identification - in fact the ultimate one, because they are tied to your identity and the other person's identity.

What can you do if your child’s personality and behavior has suddenly changed – and what is behind the shift?

Around the world, parents are experiencing situations where their children go from angels to demons - seemingly overnight.

Often there seems to be no triggering factor for this change, and the contrast in behavior can be extreme, in many cases leaving parents at their wit’s end.

Don't personalise the anger, depression, sadness, fear, frustration and anxiety you are feeling. It’s NOT you - it’s global…. and shit is hectic out there!

Global Check In - 17 May 2018

Within a few kilometers of my house today there were two Cash-In-Transit heists. This is in addition to the robberies, losses, accidents, illnesses and a complete halt to business and money flow that I am hearing about and seeing.

It’s every industry, everywhere in the world… and it’s not JUST happening to you. So do NOT personalize this.

You are going to have make a concerted effort NOT to personalize this, like reminding yourself every few SECONDS that this isn’t just happening to you and is part of a global energy.

I use the fact that I achieve up to 60 pages of journal insights, or 100 aha moments, in a day, easily, to illustrate how fast it is possible for you to grow.

Clearly however people are missing the point.

Ego & People's Responses

If the person agrees with you, you're passionate.

If your point of view offends them or conflicts theirs, or seems to offer more logic than theirs, then you are aggressive.

Ego is the thought that you are separate from God, and it’s your sense of identity.

It is the idea that you as a person exist, and the idea that your soul identity continues after death.

Ego and conversion - conversion is lazy faith

The more I think about conversion vs seeking, the more I realise that conversion is lazy faith.

The thing about the journey is that it is hard - and whether you're consciously journeying or even just manifesting, it's all about building faith, and stamina of faith.

Everything boils down to faith in the end.

Ego and the belief in the physical body

One of the reasons that physical healing miracles are held in such high esteem above other emotional healing, for example, is that it requires you to detach from the Ego identification of the body.

What this means in practical terms, is experiences like: understanding that you have no physical body, and that the physical body, like everything in reality, is just accumulated layers of thought in agreement that the body exists.

Being in the body while denying that it exists creates an interesting kind of cognitive dissonance, I'm not going to lie. It's not an easy balance to maintain.

Ego deaths are going to come in an area of challenge for you - mine were money, people stuff and relationships.

Basically an Ego death is a loss of something you wanted for the self.

Ego Deaths & Suicides

Global Energy Check In - 20 September 2017 & about 23 September 2017

I’m sorry, I can’t help finding it just a little funny watching all these Ego Deaths around me the past few days.

Part of me, first of all, really can’t believe I used to be that bad and take stuff that personally - and yes I can clearly see some of my old behaviors in others lol

Secondly, I am truly staggered at how much people seem to be determined to hang onto their drama and take it all personally. I was unpacking this with someone and it dawned on me that a lot of this is caused by boredom actually.

Ego Deaths vs. Trials by Fire vs. Dark Nights of the Soul

What's the difference?

When this stage of the journey first started happening to me, I couldn’t make any sense of it – it doesn’t make sense how accepting that you are worthless can lead to a breakthrough. I mean aren’t we meant to be realising we’re Gods?

But the lessons kept coming, in deeper and deeper forms, and so I learned to surrenderto them over time, making the time period that they lasted shorter.

Ego in the world - The 8 Deadly Sins

How perfect is this as a summation of what is wrong with the world and people today?

So let’s start with the Ego basics in a nutshell:

Ego is the mechanism of creation and it allows us to break one large soul into smaller individuated pieces that are complete within their own right.

The Ego Layers of Separation by Life Coaches Toolbox is a model to help you understand the layers that make up your Ego, or what separates you from God and others.
