A couple of weeks ago we learned about the acronym for ego, earth guidance only. What exactly does this mean, though? Your ego, or your self, receives guidance from your super ego and your id. Your super ego is your mindset and morals that were shaped by the people in your life growing up. Your id is the nervous system's response to these beliefs. Our id is triggered by our superego almost constantly. We may grow up feeling like we’re not worthy because we were not acknowledged growing up. These beliefs may help us to survive, but certainly not to thrive.
When we tap into our body, our higher self, through things like meditation and breath work, we can begin to recognize where we might be triggered in certain circumstances. Once you recognize this, you can decide if your conditioned response is helpful or not. If it’s not, you can work towards replacing it with something that is. This does require a well fed ego, however. A well fed ego allows the earth guided operator to differentiate between their own beliefs and other people’s beliefs. A well fed ego doesn’t rely completely on earth guidance only, it can receive guidance from its higher self.
