I call the ego, “the wounded child,” for it’s the part of our mind that was conditioned and wounded in childhood, and still remembers the conditioning, and the wounds. As Dr. Robert Holden states, “the ego is the conditioned self,” the part of us that got it’s information about who we are, and what we are capable of, from the world around us (usually from other egos), and wants to regurgitate that information back to us any chance we let it.

The Universe does not always operate on your timing.
More specifically, on the timing your ego mind believes something “should” happen. For the Universe does not operate in the timing of “should,” but in the timing of “can.” And “can happen” is what Divine timing is all about.

Several years ago a close, personal friend and spiritual teacher told me something that would later save my life and become my favorite personal mantra:


“There’s only ever you and God in the room.”

Most of us have inherited a manual on “how to be a good person” from our childhood- a list of rules we came to believe we had to follow in order to receive love and approval, and be safe in the world. This manual is usually gifted to us by our parents, and/or the environment we grew up in.
