Spiritual 'goose-step' - yes, the ego - evil, negativity, Satan, you may call, as you wish - loves this 'gymnastic exercise'... and has the assets to rule on us.
Push-buttons - yes, they are the ego's 'basic equipments' and we all have this 'standard accessory'. This is the 'control-panel', where from evil manipulates the unconscious humans whilst its dramatic performance takes place.
Provocative situations allude to painful memories, draw - allure! - us to live through our oppressed sufferings, the shame of all our past faults, to project our hidden storms, to find a 'scapegoat' and inundate the surroundings by destroying negative passions again and again.
And we react without thinking, without spiritual presence.
Just react - like marionette puppets.
The ego pulls the threads, but the pain reaches our soul!
To obey and to perform the inimical commands, whilst our soul knows - surely feels! - the dangerous self-destruction.
As if it was a rape!
The soul is raped and broken under the evil's power!
Pressing same buttons, provoking same reactions - this method is safe for the ego.
When one person puts unchanged questions and avoid the rebellious-seditious responses, wants to get conventional, (self-) satisfying answers - this conversation is motivated by the ego and guarantees the mind's paralysis.
But when this person dares to ask a new question, or gets an unusual, shocking reply instead of stereotypes - yes, this unexpected event can break the ego-controlled conversation.
Just take a look at Hegelian dialectics' theory.
Thesis and Antithesis, as steps of a heavenly staircase, work together, follow and conflict each other, unite and evolve, create Synthesis, a higher level of personal truth.
Instead of pressing same buttons and getting same reactions, please, look behind the curtain!
You, and we all, must begin to search the ego's hidden causes.
We owe to ourselves with the truth!
Watching our life events the patterns appear easily.
If you make the same painful mistakes again and again - there you can surprise the ego, right in its act.
Just stop it!
We are not marionette puppets.
A deep, heartfelt, serious attitude unveils the hidden manipulation and warrants success.
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
As a famous writer, a heroic pilot, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry told in his wise gem, "The Little Prince".
Never settle for the first glimpse.
The essence is under the surface.
Be sure and prepared - the evil will not tolerate your changed intentions and an emotional roller-coaster will snatch you away, soon, at the mercy of extremes' change.
Periods of enlightened peace give place to the darkest ego times by turns.
Ego's tools are different.
Maybe you'll feel, that the whole world's wickedness conspires against you, maybe you'll meet people, who convey destructive power and try to draw you into one of the well-working dramas.
Take it seriously.
War it is!
War, between right and wrong, between God and Satan!
The fight takes place on your inner battlefield, and you are responsible for the outcome.
Just speak encouraging to yourself during the darkest periods.
Avoid evil's negative thoughts.
They are not yours!
You may drop them to the trash bravely.
Yes, believe me, you were born to unfold the miraculous spirit who you really are!
To materialize God's blessed message.
( In critical times I used to ask myself loudly - "What are you doing? Do you need pain again, silly!" )
Be strong, be brave and be sure - the waves whist as time goes by.
Inner peace and slow wisdom takes over the dramas' place.
Eric Berne was a Canadian-born psychiatrist who, in the middle of the 20th century, created the theory of transactional analysis as a way of explaining human behavior . Berne’s theory of transactional analysis was based on the ideas of Freud but were distinctly different. Freudian psychotherapists focused on talk therapy as a way of gaining insight to their patient’s personalities. Berne believed that insight could be better discovered by analyzing patients’ social transactions.
