Healing the Heart: No Real Harm Done

Recently I realized that the harm anyone has mostly ever done to me has been to my ego.

Most of the people or events that I have perceived as painful or upsetting or hurtful were to my ego. No real harm has been done and seeing that makes it easier to let go, especially where relationships are concerned. Relationships were the most of it though there were also incidents like I didn’t get a job I wanted or I thought I wasn’t going to get to fulfill a dream, or children teasing me as a child, disappointments; still it was all only affecting my ego.

The only real pain I think that there has been that was not a result of my ego’s perception, was the pain and loss of others like illness and death, those are true pains upon the heart. But the other ninety percent were only hurts to the ego and as I said, I realized no real harm has been done.

Ego is really our biggest battle in life and living in the Spirit requires us to participate in the battle and defeat of the ego each day. Ego really encourages us to magnify and blow up our perceived hurts into more than they really were and in order to grow and to evolve, it is important that we see and defeat this.

So the next time you are feeling persecuted or pained, hurt or upset, ask yourself if this is indeed a true pain on the heart or if it is simply a bruising of the ego? Once you can learn to discern what is ego and what is real, you can then extend this into the situation when it arises so that it is blocked immediately and no longer creates any additional or unwanted emotional baggage. In the meantime, while you are weighing these things out, just remember, in most cases, there was no real harm done; it was only the ego, then just let it go.
