Manifestations and triggers of the ego and old identity.

Do you ever feel like whenever you try to better yourself that somehow your life just throws some drama at you? If so I’m going to tell you exactly why this happens and what you need to be doing.

When you try to manifest your new life you start to work on your self concept aka your identity. You start to asses what habits and beliefs you have currently that have lead to your current circumstances and life. You might identify which behaviors and beliefs no longer serve you and you start acting differently. The thing that happens is that as soon as you have this form of awakening and you start behaving differently from your current patterns your ego aka current identity starts to freak out.

I also want to note that I do not use the word ego in a negative or positive way it’s just a word to explain your current identity.

So our ego freaks out and tries to stop us from changing our thought patterns and behaviors cause if we change, that effectively means that we are killing the current ego. So in an act of self preservation the ego will attack you with doubts and fears as to why we shouldn’t change.

Let’s say you decide to change your self concept to someone that is in a loving and loyal relationship with a romantic partner. What your ego will do is that it will bombard you with every instance and painful memory in your life where the opposite was true in order to keep you from changing your beliefs.

Your ego will tell you that you can’t date or find the love of your life cause look at your friends, look at this person or that person.

You can’t find love cause the divorce rate is 50%. Romance is dead, dating apps have ruined romance and so on and so forth. The ego will keep feeding you as many negative thoughts and beliefs until you are so consumed by it that you forgot that you were trying to change your self concept.

Our self concept and identity aka our ego creates our reality. So when we try to change our self concept our current identity will fight tooth and nail for us not to kill it. And thus we have to wake up every day and fight ourselves. fight to break the habit of being ourselves (shoutout to Joe Dispenza for that phrase)

So when you start changing your patterns your ego is going to create situations and circumstances where the opposite of what you want is going to present itself and all you have to do is not react.

If we continue with the example of manifesting love. You might find yourself meeting men that are the opposite of what you want or you might hear horrible dating stories from your friends. What you’re not gonna do is internalizing those experiences . That’s not your reality. For every dating horror story there’s a success story as well, you just haven’t heard it yet. And either way you only need to find ONE good man so it doesn’t matter that there’s a hundred shitty men out there. That has nothing to do with you.

You’re gonna ignore anything that doesn’t serve you. The more you ignore the less these attacks happen. The more you focus on the new identity you want the old one will slowly starve itself.

So remember this. When you start to change your beliefs your old beliefs will come up to the surface. You might experience events and meet people that reflect your old beliefs. What you’re gonna do is that you’re not going to react to that. You’re just going to observe it and stay focused on the new reality you are creating. It takes time for the new reality to show up so you have to have faith and patience in the meantime.

12:27am — hanemiya kazutora

kazutora finds it quite odd how whenever you kiss him, there’s always a specific place where your lips land. 

and it’s always on the mole under his right eye, just above his cheekbone. 

it took a while for kazutora to notice honestly? he wasn’t really the brightest tool in the shed. but when he asked for a kiss, and you pivoted towards his mole, pressing a sweet kiss on it, kazutora’s right eye shutting close due to the proximity of your lips. 

“mwah!” you over exaggerated, giggling at the deadpanned expression kazutora gave you, but his heart fluttered nonetheless. 

“baby…” kazutora calls out and you hum out a response, “yes?”

“why do you keep kissing my mole?”

you play dumb. “i’ve no idea what you’re talking about.” kazutora frowns. “this one.” he points to the mole below his eye, you had to bite your lip to stop yourself from smiling at how adorable your boyfriend was. 

“my cheek is right here.” he said, poking the fat of his cheek, that made you let out a small giggle before you wrap your arms around his neck and pull his head closer, placing a kiss on his mole then his cheek. 

“better?” kazutora pouts. “you’re not answering my question.” you smile, finally relenting and entertaining his query. 

“i’ve read somewhere that moles are where your past soulmate used to kiss you.” you say, smiling at the confused look on your lover’s face. 

so? kazutora wants to say but before he can, you continued. 

“and i did a good job in deciding where i want to kiss you in my past life, the mole looks so cute on you.” you say before pressing another kiss on it. 

kazutora freezes, the gears turning in his head before he registers what you just said. 

“you think we were past soulmates?” you tilt your head confused. “you don’t think so?” kazutora shakes his head immediately, “no, i do. i do!” 

“sounds like you don’t.” you clicked your tongue playfully. kazutora huffs before he places a quick kiss on your lips. 

“i do.” he insists, you laugh, nodding. finally believing in your lover. 

“good.” you say, pressing another kiss on his mole. you don’t even keep count at this point. 

“i better see that mole in our next life.”

note: i saw the mole and soulmate post again and thought of writing this,,, (i'm stalling from writing another fic i swear) small tora tag for @wriotheslays

Men love me for my cadaver swag. The way my skin is cold like a corpse, my off-putting demeanor, and the way I stand in the threshold of the still-living and the dead.
