The process or shedding the ego takes time and personal work; it’s like a release of pain and false beliefs into a state of willingness to grow and attain satisfaction to heal yourself into a person of unconditional love.  As a person progresses into a journey of enlightenment to experience happiness and peace, serenity can exist and be experienced, along with self-empowerment.    Some sadly misuse or abuse their power.  They rob, control, brainwash, manipulate others due to their own deep-rooted fear and need for power. This behavior and way of thinking does not serve your greater good.  Sadly, many egos are as huge as the Grand Canyon. The mind thinks it’s in a protective shield and it remains in a state of limitation to protect the ego.  It served you for survival in the past, but it destroys who you really can become: a being of Light and Love.  An energy shift is happening in the world, a paradigm shift can happen for you too if you choose it. To feel better and experience a richer life, become a spiritual being having a human experience.   You have created your reality, good or bad based on your beliefs about yourself and others and your actions which created your current reality.
