Mmmmmm. This is another delicious angle of undoing the unnecessary binary of good/evil and leaning in to radical self-acceptance. Love it!

Loving this frame of self-acceptance and recognizing how much of a “thing” this is for me now. I just realized ways I’m already doing this (ooo, also being super grateful for first going to how I’m doing this well, instead of my usual default of all the ways I’m not).

The house/home stuff for me, for example. Designing my dream home. Absolutely started as ego desire. And as I journey through it, focused on my values, honoring Spirit’s guidance, discerning what obstacles are there for my protection/redirection and which I’m meant to creatively solve, feeling every feeling that comes up, it’s shifting and becoming more and more my soul desire.

If I had never started the process because it was an ego desire and I had deemed those bad or if I was hellbent on getting what my ego wanted when my ego wanted it...I was going to say, I would have missed out on so much.

The nuance though is it I had gone down either of those paths, I would have needed to.

I’m proud that I’m choosing/embracing the fullest, most authentic, soul honoring way that I can even if it’s harder in many ways.

Yay for embracing the all and finding the wisdom and nuggets wherever they are! ♥️

This part - we miss out on so much when we don’t allow the ego desires to breathe!

My whole sacred Slut experiment was a big fat dance with that - I’ve been deeply reflecting on that, haven’t been able to write about it yet, but kind of Iike your house story here, there are many nuggets to be mined!

This just popped into my head: just like we’re not all human and not all divine, but a combination of both, it makes sense to me that in every ego desire I have, there is also soul desire in it and vice versa.

Exactly! “To elaborate, even the things that come from our ego have a little bit of soul in them.” - from the post

Hahaha. You put the thought in my head! Doesn’t lessen the impact at all but it is making me laugh.

One of my favorite things about you being my teacher/guide is how what you say and when you say it is so very often exactly what I have ears to hear and eyes to see. I am so grateful for you! You make such a difference in my life. ♥️♥️♥️
