Earth Angels see the best in others and expect the best in
return. Oh, if only the world really worked that way!
The three-dimensional physical world is a product of the
ego, so the ego prevails for the majority of people, who aren’t aware of the
path of true happiness from living in the higher self.
Now, this doesn’t mean that Earth Angels need to lower
their standards and try to fit into the lowest common denominator of rude or
ego-based behavior. But it does require Earth Angels to be aware of ego energy
when it shows up.
If you have been taken advantage of repeatedly for being a
nice person, then please pay extra attention to this chapter.
The ego energy is all about “me” and “I”: What is in it for me? and What can I get out of this?
That’s why self-centered people are called egocentric or egotistical.
Therefore it’s important to take some time when you’re with
someone to be very aware of how your body feels in that person’s presence. Your
body is one of the most accurate divination tools on this physical planet. Your
body is a crystal that resonates with energy vibrations.
So when you meet someone, rather than worrying, Does she like me? Am I good enough? and
these sort of self-doubting questions, instead listen to what your body says.
Notice:
- Do I feel drained of energy when I’m around this person?
- Does my stomach tighten with defensiveness, bracing myself against some danger?
- Do I feel myself backing away from this person or wanting to leave her presence?
- Is there a sense that I’m the only one giving in this relationship?
- Does it feel like the other person is all about taking?
- Does the other person joke or brag about how much she gets away with or takes advantage of others?
- After being with this person, do I feel tired or depressed or anxious?
So when you encounter a person who’s ego-centered, you’ll
feel a draining sensation in your body, because your energy is literally being drained. You’re also
being scanned energetically by the egocentric person, who’s assessing what she
can take from you.
What egocentric people want to take from you can vary. They
may want simple things such as a listening ear or kind words. Most Earth Angels
don’t feel taken advantage of for giving these things, unless it becomes a
one-sided relationship where you’re the only one giving the compliments and
doing the listening, and the other person never says anything nice to you, nor
do they care enough to listen to you.
To find a person who isn’t egocentric, you’ll need to hold
the intention of meeting other Earth Angels and givers . . . or those who have
been working to develop self-awareness, and who have come to the realization
that the path to true happiness is through balancing giving and receiving.
Relationships are synergistic. You can be as nice as an
angel in heaven, but unless you’re with someone who honors and respects your
niceness, you’ll tend to be taken advantage of by those who are egocentric.
If someone’s egocentric, don’t worry whether or not he or
she likes you. Egocentric people are incapable of liking anyone, because their
hearts are closed. They don’t even like themselves.
When you get a sense that someone’s a “taker,” pull back
your energy and don’t try so hard. He or she is not worth your time as your
friend, and you’ll end up “breaking up” anyway when you get tired of being
taken advantage of. You have a limited amount of time here on Earth, and it’s
best to spend it on someone who’ll appreciate being helped.
