Ego or intuitive nudge?

Several distinctive qualities make your intuition different from your imagination. The most important being: Intuition does not explain itself! All you get is an idea and the urge to act!

Your logical rational mind on the other hand, needs to reason everything! Herein lies the difference, as intuition does not! In other words ... if there is no reasoning, it's your intuition guiding you.

Your mind, which is really the ego, is going to resist your intuition every step of the way. This is why so many intuitive nudges are ignored!

What then is ego? Your ego is a reflected version of how society and those closest to you actually see you. The ego is established and develops as we do. Babies and young children have no ego. Their awareness is of the real Self (the inner self) looking outwards at a world outside of themselves.

As children grow up however and begin to interact more and more with their parents, peers, and society, they begin to identify with who they are, in relation to what others think of them. At this early age we lose touch with our sense of Self and begin to identify with our ego which is established through what is being reflected back at us by those around us. This is how we lose our sense of the real Self, which is the inner Self, the real immortal Self and the Source of all intuitive nudges. When you trust in yourself, you trust in the wisdom that created you!

The ego is totally dependent upon others and being accepted by the society we live in. This is why a poor self image, results from the way other people see and treat us. A poor self image establishes itself when we do not have a strong intuitive link to the real Self, the true Self or what is sometimes referred to as the Soul Self.
