Ashtar discussing the Ego and the Inner Child:
"What we wish to say is that the ego and the inner child are often mirror images. They go together like peas in a pod. They are after all a part of you, and much of what they are or how they make themselves known to you, is in contract with you. It is part of the plan you had before you came in. You know, you’ve all heard this before. And it goes along with your empowerment to co-create with the All that you are and the God/Goddess within. Now that’s not new. It’s just that we’re starting from this point of discussion.
"So you have your inner child and you have your ego. And it is to end the separation and bring them together in the same place that is the ultimate goal. In that sense you can consider them twin flames that are to be reunited, because you know way back when, there really was no separation. It is a microcosm of the separation that took place all over planet Earth, if you want to put it that way. As above, so below; as within, so without. And so you caused this separation, this feeling of separation.
"Along with the feeling of separation comes a sort of a tug of war. Who’s going to rule in that instant? Are you going to be guided by the ego or by the inner child? When you bring them into your heart space you are, number one, preparing the ego for Ascension with you, because you cannot leave the ego behind and be a completely ascended being. You must bring the ego with you. But you need to put the ego into an atmosphere of Love. As above, so below; as without, so within.
"So that which takes place within your inner being, and this is for all of your energy fields, don’t leave out those parallel and dimensional selves. Of course, in your higher dimensional being, your ego is already in your heart space as what you might call a permanent and everlasting resident, or tenant if you want to put it that way. If you are in those higher dimensions and you want to drop down into 3D and be a 3D dimensional person, it’s real easy to do, just kick your ego out. You have a tenant eviction notice and you are there with a big thud.
"So it is important that you do these exercises, and any time that you get a scrunching up in your solar plexus area or in your emotional self or in your survival area, the ego has somehow hopped out because it feels it needs to have, instead of this blended unification, it needs to have some kind of a voice. So what’s the issue? Aha! Dendrite removal, on whatever the issue is, and you don’t even have to know the issue. You just know that you’re scrunched up and feeling the ego has hopped out.
"Now the ego has the capability of doing this on its own, because guess what? The ego is an interesting part of you that has a bit of free will. Now your Love can override the will of the ego to be, not only separate from your inner child and your heart space, but to override your desire to be, to act, to think and to speak from your heart space. So if the ego jumps out, or shall we say takes a downward flight in your being, then you’re not only going to feel some scrunching up but it might think a thought that is not quite as elevated as you want it to be, and so on and so on. So it is a most important part of your own healing, your own house cleaning, and the healing for the planet in general, to be sure that you keep this ego in your heart space.
"Now are we talking about a cage here? Well, how do you feel about your heart anyway? Does that represent freedom? And living in freedom and living in the light? Well of course it does - it’s not a cage. If you want to know what a cage is, it’s in your lower areas. That’s the cage of 3D. Now your lower areas are not going to be an active part of you, the 3 lower chakras. They’re going to kind of roll up into your heart space and get integrated, transmuted and all of that good stuff, as you ascend. So what are you doing? You’re keeping your ego from being homeless! You’re bringing the ego up into your heart space.
"Now, let’s talk about your inner child. You need to do this with all of the compassion and love that you have just been showing. Your inner child can be a little fearful about the ego running roughshod, taking over, speaking for you, and doing things that to the inner child are just the opposite of who you really want to be, and who that inner child really wants to be. Your inner child can be here in your heart space, in the arms of the loving mother angel, but if the ego starts, you know, the downward movement, the scrunching……'Now listen here, I’m the ego and I’m taking charge here', your inner child can cringe a little bit and ask the mother angel to totally enfold her wings and hide your inner child.
"Aha! So now you’ve got the ego doing a tap dance in your lower area, then you’ve got your inner child in fear, feeling insecure and hiding. Double whammy! Or shall we say double target for whammy. You see? So the relationship of these two is like merging, melding, coming together in that love space which is infinite. You just keep expanding it. And guess what? Your ego blossoms and thrives in the light, and let’s face it, undergoes a bit of transformation and transmutation to be ready to blast off with the All That You Are. Your inner child says, 'Oh, open your arms. I’m feeling so good I think I could just about fly on my own. Let’s join wings and hearts and all of this and let’s just fly.'
"So you see, there is happiness and joy in all of your being, radiating out from your heart. And you’ve got these two like this (some visual), and your ego is going to start feeling love. Ah, the magic wand of love, and the energies of love. Now that’s what is going to transform your ego into a trusting child. The mirror images then come together and become one.
"At one point the Voice saw her ego as kind of a cracked mirror image with a little bit of smoke and a little bit of a dark hat. And she took the white hat that the inner child was wearing and duplicated it and offered it to the ego. That was a great picture for her. Well, it was her creation but she didn’t know she was creating it at the time. She thought it was just, you know, coming in from us, 'out of the ethers' so to speak. That was a way of bringing the two together in the same space, or should we say under the same hat.
"All we’re wanting to illustrate to you is that you have been given a grand exercise, and you can take it any way that you choose. You can check in. If you feel a little scrunching in the tum-tum, you can check in and say, 'What color hat are you wearing today, my precious ego? Oh, well, let’s do a little transmuting on that, shall we? Amethyst, where are you?' And bring the Violet Flame in, and get this taken care of with love. You see? So you can all find whatever suits you. Whatever image you have and you can change it anytime. But we do suggest that you check in on this, because your ego is a little bit of a rascal.
"So if you think your ego can’t drop down, think again. It has that propensity built in, at first. You must understand that your ego needs time to get used to being in this heart space, and it’s a good thing to check in when you feel a little scrunching or whatever. Sure enough, you might fine that the ego is sending you messages from someplace you’d rather not get messages from.."
