Leadership of the voices

We all have them; we justify them in different ways; we interact differently with them but don't involve others in that interaction for fear of being put away. I speak of the voices. Some call them conscience, some intuition, some call them fred and sally(imaginary friends) some call them angels. It is a curioius thing when you analyize what they are to you. In the beginning I created an idea that someone else was looking over me. I called this entity my life manager. This has very much stuck for quite some time. Now I am at a point where I need to reassess because as I have become more away of myself, I have found there seem to be more than just the one; and I don't think that is what the wise men refer to as group consciousness. What this topic is about, is the belief that my goal, indeed quite possibly a life lesson for us all, is to develop a leadership role of these voices or life managers. To be able to do this, I think I first need to be clear about who I actually have on my team, and what exactly their role is in the scheme of things. Now you will have to bear with me here, as I am learning this as I go, so somewhere down the track I will be clear, but no skipping to the end to find out. First of all we have the advisor. That seems fairly clear. A quietly spoken entity, that has infinite patience, and detachment and only speaks when asked or when I am 'open'. Here lies the truth of what is, beyond what can be seen, and is the most difficult todate to follow, because of the non dominating nature of the voice, and my lack of openness to it. It is clear to me when I have been heard the suggestion to act and do not, the painful awareness of the opportunity for success that was gifted to me by this voice. This is my intuition, or life manager as I have affectionately called it. The next is the culprit. This is an agressive, lusting native that resides in the forefront of m consciousness. This is the one that has had the most influence in the past. This one is able to get me to do things that I invariable regret in one form or another. This I call my ego. For now we will keep it simple, as just the two, and see if it is so, for i feel the ego has quite a personality, and is therefore able to front as many guises when it seeks to move me. Interestingly enough it seems the ego is focused on the now, but in a very much self gratifying way, that results in a cost to me in the future. The ego does not use the metphysical creative process to create things. It uses something from within my world that is already there. It uses my time, or my energy that was manifested in abundance to my needs, or it steals energy (debt) and cares not of the consequences. It cares not about feelings nor investment other than for it's own devices. This is the character I have listened to for most of my life and followed without much question. Pretty sad really. In my world the sign posts have pointed to a need for better management. I feel I have not been managing at all, but rather that I have been "used" by the ego. This has been demonstrated by me being used by others around me. I have not been working for myself as I may have thought, I have been working for the ego. This will now stop. My focuse here is to establish a best practice management policy that will result in a change of behaviour that results in all action and decisions falling into line with my metaphysical strategic plan. These two 'helpers' are there, I must learn to manage them better in order to move my life forward in the direction I want to go. If I cannot see the need for the ego at all, I will sack the ego for good, and stick only to my life manager as my advisor. This I think is going to be the way. What I am going to do however is give the ego a chance by doing a performance review. Lets start with that: Where am I currently on the physical plane, as far as wealth goes in the eyes of the ego? I have enormous debt, I have no assets, and I live from week to week with no savings barely able to scrape together enough to meet my debt obligations. All of this after at least 24 years of being in control and more importantly, with the potential that existed before me. You have proven yourself beyond measure you are completely irresponsible, and incapable of the being a success. You have caused me to look in one direction when I had better potential in another. You have caused me to feel sorrow and pain. You have absorbed my time with meaningless activity which wasted potential appreciation time. You have added no value to my life nor that of anyone around me, and have accumulated only things that have lost their value quickly. You are not a disappointment to me, for I recognise that in the absence of quality leadership from above, the workers will fill in the gaps as best as they can; rather, you are now obsolete. I have a strong desire to lead effectively, and to do my job well. You will be forgotten in time. Now lets look at how I am going manage my life. I will put this in the next post as I am trying to avoid having ones that a too large to make reading each one easier. Here I will detail my management plan, which will include routines to create new habits of behaviour that I believe reflect my reality. My plan includes a number of changes in routines and behaviours that relate to management style of the ego. Everything from how I get up in the morning, and go to bed, to how I interact with every aspect of my life, seeing the potential in everyone and everything and pouring appreciation into it, in advance. My management plan will connect everything to truth, my goal, and appreciation. Lets begin.
