The Radical Difference Between Ego, Pride, and Confidence
I got off an interesting call the other day where I heard of a woman’s experience in a healing circle. The woman, Sherry, described how the facilitator, let’s call him Joe, proclaimed his importance as a background. “I trained blah, blah, blah! It cost me $17,000! I am a master of this healing!!!” Joe declared! There were plenty of chest beats to announce the superiority of such an individual.
Yet, Joe forgot one tiny important thing during the circle. How to adapt to handle Spirit or spirits when they showed up unannounced to ‘heal’ his followers.
Sherry described the accidental vortex Joe had opened up. Where a demigod jumped out to land, you guessed it, on her. She was lucky because an elder sat next to her to release the attachment. Due to Joe’s laser focus on self, he missed the sense of a vortex entirely as two women in his circle struggled to release said entity.
What was Joe doing during this time? Still beating his chest and reading his $17,000 script word by word. Unaware and immersed in his ego.
