Ego Work versus Soul Work

I think that we are all wounded and have shadows and character defects and places in our lives that we wish were transformed. When we embrace our own humanness, we embrace compassion for humanity. One of my personal challenges has been to share my gifts in service and let go of needing acknowledgment. My ego looks for this validation often and it is a place of continued surrender for me. This is from April 18th in "Blessings From Mary."

Our soul’s work is to use our gifts for healing, not for feeding our ego.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

“Yes, the discipline and maturity of your emotional and spiritual gifts will provide you this insight. You will see more. You will notice more. You will understand more. This is a gift. This is part of your destiny in service. Honor and embrace this gift of discernment and sight.

The only difficulty comes from trying to convince another of your insight and your ability. This is where your wounded ego takes charge and where discipline comes in. You are responsible for using this gift to be of service to those you encounter. It is not intended to feed your ego by asking for acknowledgment and validation or to be used as a tool for confrontation and/or conflict.

This is your work. The opportunity to do this healing will come to you again and again until your only desire and action will be to use this gift in alignment with the highest spiritual service for all.

Do you see this? Come to us when these insights and revelations come to you. Offer it to us for guidance and discernment of the highest good and then surrender the outcome.

You will know what is next from here.”
