The Inner Child is the Constructive Ego

The Inner Child, The Ego

By Ivy Integration

          The ego is honest, dignified and straight forward. The ego is our character and personality. The ego is manifestation of our universal mind on Earth. The ego is our inner child. Many of us do not connect the ego to the inner child because the adult ego is aggressive, defensive and paranoid whirling through commotion, dilemma and fantasy and children are playful, open minded and energetic. The commotion for the adult ego is not having the attraction to refine reality higher and wiser. The dilemma for the adult ego is not having the self-trust to organize reality into clear understanding. And, the fantasy for the adult ego is not having the sensitivity to uplevel the body and mind into more creative and impactful experiences.

          The inner child is our foundational sense of self. When we are a child our character and personality is natural and unique. The adult ego is like a factory belt of the same/same repeat. The bridge that connects the inner child to its sense of self is self-trust. Children may not have strong boundaries or discernment that come from experience and life lessons. But, they have a stronger navigation system. They have self-trust. This intuitive and sensitive awareness is a strong navigation system then the adult ego of boundaries and discernment. They know people for their honesty, dignity and authenticity. They determine the level of trust for a person by how strong the amplification of these qualities are.

Children’s understanding is different than the adult interpretation. Life is a journey of honesty, dignity and authenticity because it is the vibration of miracles. Children are creators of miracles. They may not be aware of what miracles are in the adult language but they are crafting miracles through their soul resonance. The soul resonance is behind the character and personality of the inner child. It is the light that shines through the vessel of character and personality. The adult ego uses commotion, dilemma and fantasy to compensate for how out of tune they are with their native rhythm. The adult ego can lack heart and therefore, loses its impact. Without soulful impact we are not captivating or interesting. The adult ego would do anything to be captivating or interesting because then it is attractive, magnetic and a creator of reality. With this miraculous sense of self the adult has a majestic presence drawling the Earth to itself naturally without imposing on anything to dominate. Children have a mystic power. We are drawn to children. We smile when we see children. We are happy when we greet children is because they are majestic and true to possibility the adult ego contained when judgment and fear override the self-trust from the inner child.

The inner child tells us how honest, dignified and straight forward were being with ourselves and others but the further we stray from the voice of reason our inner child provides the more we ignore, deny and shove to the side. But, without amplification of honesty, dignity or authenticity we lose our uniqueness and find it difficult to innovate reality. Without innovation of reality, it is easy for us to feel stuck, stagnate or in a rut with reality.

Reality is like a puzzle. The creator is our higher self. It wants us to solve the puzzle because then we learn the perspective of the creator but we need innovation to pass through the many layers of progress or we get stuck. Apart of innovation is self-trust. For the adult ego, solving the puzzle is trying to distort the puzzle, change the pieces to fake the game. But, this method does not learn the creator’s mind.

The creator’s mind is the inner child because he/she is infinite in the creativity of nature. Its rhythmic intelligence is open minded, learning and creating. But, the adult ego can place itself above or below others making a disconnect, while, the inner child sees everything through learning and creating. Nothing is better or worse but a process of innovation unfolding. The inner child is a problem solver and uses its sensitivity to enhance creative understanding. Sensitivity to the adult ego is emotional suffering, nostalgic grief or anger. Sensitivity is overwhelming and intensifies our journey through memories, decisions and life lessons. Therefore, sensitivity is shutdown to the adult ego. The adult ego does not have the creative solution to know what to do with such amplified experience on Earth because self-trust is lost when fear and judgment override the self-trust system. But, without creative solution adults struggle to grow and mature wisely. The saying, “You are the same person you were decades ago,” reflects the adult ego. We are stuck on a portion of the puzzle and cannot find the next phase of our education on our learning and creating. The saying for the child, “Wow, you are vastly different than you were a year ago,” reflects the self-trust system. The inner child wants to learn and create as much as possible. The inner child travels through many styles of itself because it is multi-dimensional or spherical in nature. This gives the inner child a well-rounded character and personality. Character and personality is not a stick or same/same repeat. It is like the sun, rays of rainbows opening many doors to the self. The self is dynamic and universal to the inner child. To the adult ego, the self is set and fixed until death.

Children hold the frequency of deathless, therefore, every day is an experience of eternity. The adult wants to capture immortality because the adult is worn down and unable to solve the puzzle. Without vigor of the body and strength of mind the chance is gone. This is the great dissatisfaction or unfulfillment of humans, to die and never solve the puzzle and learn the creator. We all want to master the creator of our reality. We have many incarnations to learn this but when we spent decades stuck in a portion of the puzzle the grief of caging our inner child for too long is our greatest disappointment in old years. We need the inner child to learn our creation and destruction and recreate our reality again and again to enhance our innovation on Earth. We need self-trust or our honesty, dignity and authenticity is weak and easily seduced into habits, patterns and perspectives that disconnect ourselves from the native sense of self and others.

The loss of heart impact on the self and others is the struggle for the adult ego. The adult ego compensates for the lack of impact they have on the heart by thinking and thinking creation higher and wiser or using sexuality to procreate energy higher and wiser but it is the heart that makes us smile when greeting children. The child’s heart is majestic and universal. There is no distance, judgment, separation or avoidance. The heart of the child penetrates into the mystery of everything and everyone with total acceptance of the dark and light of human nature. The heart of the child is able to view our character and personality through the perspective of the universe. The heart of the child shows us the dimensions of ourselves and Earth and how it is all connected through the heart. When the adult ego losses its touch of universal possibility, the heart is a tiny spot to a vast wholeness of possibility and this does not lead spiritual or material leadership.

We must practice the inner child everyday as an adult to keep our heart native to the first beating of our heart in utero. Every heart has a rhythm that is unique but as an adult our heart begins to beat like a herd of sheep. The native rhythm is our doorway to a realm of possibility to our reality. When it is open we have self-trust through intuitive instinct. When it is closed we have limited awareness through fear and judgment. We need the door to our inner child open to innovate reality higher and wiser or we get caught in the matrix of confinement. We must know creative solutions to recreate, rewrite and reprogram our reality consistently again and again to keep our sovereignty active.

We practice the inner child when we play! Playing is the voice of reason to all our seriousness, anger and irritation. Play is how a child solves a difficult problem because play opens perspective and invites innovation. We must play every day with our thoughts, expression and body to vibrate the cosmos, to know self and other and amplify uniqueness–the door to the creator we all yearn to invite in.
