Primary Cause of Drama and Illness in Our Lives & How To Avoid It


The culprint here is the ego. This is not necessarily the same ego that gets puffed up by hitting the winning field goal in a football game, but more a sense of letting the mind run rampant in its negative patterns, as it trounces over our well being and the well being of others.

Eckhart Tolle, currently the world's most highly regarded philosopher and spiritual teacher, describes the ego as follows in a concise and meaningful way: "Most of the so-called bad things that happen in people's lives are due to unconsciousness. They are self-created, or rather ego-created. I sometimes refer to those things as 'drama'. When you are fully conscious, drama does not come into your life anymore. Let me remind you briefly how the ego operates and how it creates drama. Ego is the unobserved mind that runs your life when you are not present as the witnessing consciousness, the watcher. The ego perceives itself as a separate fragment in a hostile universe, with no real inner connection to any other being, surrounded by other egos which it either sees as a potential threat or which it will attempt to use for its own ends. The basic ego patterns are designed to combat its own deep-seated fear and sense of lack. They are resistance, control, power, greed, defense, attack. Some of the ego's strategies are extremely clever, yet they never truly solve any of its problems, simply because the ego itself is the problem.......Furthermore, many types of illnesses are caused by the ego's continuous resistance, which creates restrictions and blockages in the flow of energy through the body. When you reconnect with Being and are no longer run by your mind, you cease to create those things. You do not create or participate in drama anymore." 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle available on Amazon.
More simply and directly stated......the mind loves to create dramas because dramas feed the pain body and the ego will disappear if the pain body is not fed. The ego wants to stay alive, so it supports all of the miscreation of the mind.


Solution:
1. Be aware of the above dynamic
2. Allow yourself to simply watch the mind as it does its dance - in the same way perhaps that you would watch a child in playing in a sandbox that has a burst of a need to throw the bucket and shovel around and play inappropriately for some unexplained reason. You remain vigilant to the physical safety of the child, but apart from him, unattached, watching the unwinding, not interceding unless safety becomes an issue.
3. Use hypnosis, The Release Method, Law of Attraction, Emotional Freedom Techniques to both release the resistance on the issue at hand draw to you circumstances without drama, and to program the mind towards serene and pleasant circumstances. See the Terms section of my website
