The Wolf Inside

and, wow, it's pretty intense.
If nothing else, Leonardo DiCaprio's performance
could very well win him an Oscar - but what a
character he portrays.
It's debauchery at its finest, delivered through an
insatiable ego reeking of excess and manipulation.
Sadly, it gives ego a very bad name; a bad rap,
so to speak, because our ego is actually designed
to be helpful to us.
It really isn't that the ego is the bad guy.
Hear me out.
Many spiritual traditions have misled us into
thinking that we've got to get rid of the ego,
but you know what? You're not going to get rid
of the ego. The ego is part of your body, mind,
and soul system.
You *need* the ego to operate in the real world;
for example, to steer through traffic.
It's there to help protect you.
The problem is when you put it in charge and it
starts talking you into or out of something.
For example, you want to start a business and
your ego says, "This is bad. It isn't going to
work."
Or you get inspired to sit down and begin writing
a book and you hear, "Let's go shopping."
The idea is to put your ego at the service of your
inspiration.
So how do you know when you're doing one or the other?
You can literally feel it in your body.
Your energy feels different.
When you're following the voice of ego, your energy
will drop; and when you're following inspiration,
you feel enlivened and rejuvenated.
Of course, it's not always that simple to recognize
the difference.
Even Dr. Hew Len, who taught me Ho'oponopono, once said
when I asked him about it, "You don't always know the
difference. It's very easy to be confused or swayed
in one direction or another. Clean, clear, or pray
on any impulse that shows up, whether you think it's
from the ego or the Divine."
In a real sense, it requires the art of internal discernment.
As I wrote in my most recent book, "At Zero: The Quest for
Miracles through Ho'oponopono," "In the authentic Ho'oponopono
new tradition, you want to clean to hear the Divine's intention,
not your ego's intention."
So how can you learn this subtle art?
This is the subject of my newest audio program with
Nightingale-Conant - "The Zero Point: How to Enter the
Realm of Limitless Possibilities."

You see, even though we talk about this thing called
the "ego," what we're really talking about is the data
of our mind, made up of a whole slew of unconscious
beliefs and ideas that have been programmed into us
from the beginning of time.
Ego is data.
When we're operating from this data, we're not aware of
choices, or even reality.
We see the world through filters, just as you do when
you put a lens filter on a camera.
These filters act to block our awareness of the Divine,
to hearing what magnificence it has in store for us.
Fortunately, we don't have to remain at the mercy of
this data.
We can break free and enter the realm of limitless
possibilities.
All we have to do is leave the world of limitations
imposed on us by an unconsciously driven ego.
Remember, a wolf by any other name is still a wolf,
no matter what street it happens to be running amok on.
