Do Less To Receive More – From Ego Achiever to Higher Self Receiver
Shifting from the 3D approach of effort, struggle and force to a more fluid 5D way where you hand things over to your Higher Self and allow it to show you the path forward.
Preface: This piece of writing started a stream of consciousness that came through as a psychic download first thing in the morning. I’ve tried to clean it up but it’s a little rough and jumps around a bit 😅 Posting it anyway because perfection is overrated and there are some real gems in here 💎💎💎 Enjoy!
Lately, I've been experimenting with the quantum field, specifically investigating what happens to my outer reality when I change a belief. The focus I’m currently working with is regarding Time, because sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time to complete all the tasks I have to do to reach my goals
The belief I wanted to experiment with is:
“How I can I do less and achieve more”
Unrealistic, absurd and kinda crazy, right?
Let’s start this experiment by looking at some common cultural conditioning around time and work….
We've been taught that hard work pays off and many of us still exchange our time for money.
When we put a lot of time into a job, project or task, we might feel more satisfied and fulfilled – like we've really put in the work to earn the result. Other people can acknowledge the effort or difficulty and give you praise for the challenging journey you've been through
This is how qualities like persistence, commitment, endurance and hard work are celebrated and rewarded. The whole process involves a lot of effort and only after a lot of time and struggle do you get to enjoy a reward.
But do we need to work hard to experience fulfilment?
Does life really need to be a struggle?
Well, that's exactly why I wanted to conduct my experiment, because in the context of Ascension and spiritual evolution, that approach feels old fashioned and like a very 3rd Dimensional way to experience reality.
I’m specifically calling out beliefs like:
The more time I invest, the better the reward
I need to push against resistance to grow
More struggle = more fulfilment
It's interesting how we can subscribe to hustle-culture mentality and apply it across the board to other aspects of our life, not just in work and career, but also our creative endeavours, passions, healing, spiritual journey and even how we love ourselves or each other.
As we move from a linear 3D experience to reality to a more limitless, quantum 5D experience, we can start playing around with Universal Principles like: Where attention goes, energy flows. In other words, whatever we focus on, and the meaning and feeling we give it, ultimately creates our reality.
Key Point #1:
Change your belief to change your reality.
That's what beliefs are, repeated stories. To change a belief, we can practice telling ourselves a different story.
As an human here on Earth during her Ascension cycle, you have the power to open up doorways into exciting new realities. The rigid rules of the 3D paradigm are falling away and we are learning how to manifest without limitations.
“Universe, show me what a 5th dimensional approach to experiencing great outcomes, flowing growth, effortless fulfilment, one infused with joy, expansion and zest for life feels like!”
Let’s get back to my experiment...
How can I do less and achieve more?
Hang on… Why do I believe doing more equates to achieving more?
Immediately I had flashbacks to all the times my Ego received a sense of gratification as a result of hard work:
When I studied hard and got a good result, I was awarded
When I spent a lot of time creating something, I felt accomplished
When I worked my way up the corporate ladder, I felt like my status and position had more value
These are all external validations for focused effort, and the common denominator across all these gratifying moments was how much time I invested, traded or dedicated.
These experiences reinforce the rigid 3D paradigm of linear time, and how many aspects of modern life revolve around the scheduling of time. Over and over again, I was taught to use time, to allocate time, to manage and prioritise my time. That's a lot of deep programming and societal conditioning, starting from a young age in primary school and continuing through to professional life.
Our modern lives are built around all the to-do lists, tasks and deliverables that we try to complete between morning and night.
In the workplace, time was a unit of measurement that was blocked out and moved around in a project management planner. We were paid for our time and maybe even received different rates for working “over time”.
No wonder we have a hyper-focus on how we spend my time, as if it’s a limited and evaporating resource.
We're so used to making appointments, pigeon holing ourselves into time slots, creating boxes and frames and structures and systems to account for our time down to the hour, minute and even second.
I want out of that box, I've had enough of experiencing this form of scarcity and limitation. Universe, show me another way!
Introducing The Higher Self
In the 3D game, our Ego loves external validation and feeling like it’s in control.
As we shift toward a 5D game, we are introduced to a new character: The Higher Self.
The Higher Self is the aspect of you that resides outside of your physical body in higher planes of reality. In addition to having a direct connection to our Soul, the Higher Self has the useful ability of seeing things from a birds eye view, perceiving all possible outcomes at once, outside of time and space.
This makes the Higher Self a valuable teammate, because from its higher vantage point, it can send hints, suggestions and strategies down to you to help you navigate your human experience. Whether you’re aware of this relationship or not, your Higher Self has been doing this since you were born.
The Higher Self is also still well aware of why your Soul wanted to incarnate and the lessons intended for this lifetime.
In fact, that's the primary role of your Higher Self: to come up with ideas and strategies so you can learn your curriculum of lessons with the least amount of suffering.
Anatomy Of Our Higher Guidance System
We're shifting into a new way, a new energy, a new paradigm. And part of our Ascension process is becoming aware of our HSG (Higher Guidance System) and the specific roles that each aspect plays.
Higher Mind - Lower Mind - Physical Body:
The Higher Self (aka Higher Mind) is the Conceiver: it's role is to come up with the ideas and strategies to move us along our path
The Lower Mind is our human, physical mind, initially designed to be the Receiver of information from our Higher Mind. However it's common for our Ego to block this communication with its own stories, beliefs and preferences.
The Physical Body is designed to be the Perceiver, using the 5 physical senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing) to tangibly experience the 3D physical realm.
This means from the Higher Self vantage point, there are many different paths for creating and experiencing reality. In contrast to our Ego’s 3D beliefs, getting from A to B doesn't necessarily have to take along time or feel like hard work. There are options that are faster and easier, and those that are slower and feel sluggish.
A Moment Of Thanks To Our Ego
Before our spiritual awakening, our Ego was in the drivers seat of our life, doing the best it could to protect us and keep us safe. To be fair, it's done a commendable job getting us to where we are today. Moving forward, we can pay our thanks to the Ego and let it know we're choosing to play a different game now.
We are passing over the reins to our Higher Self, who can see the quantum web of all potentialities and pathways (not just the familiar, expected or well-trodden ones).
After all that, we’re finally ready to answer the original question:
“How can I do less and achieve more?”
This would be appropriate for my Ego Mind.
A more fitting to ask my Higher Self would be:
“How can I do less and RECEIVE more?”
Case Study: To Yoga Or Not To Yoga?
Here’s an example, I woke up today later than intended this morning and my Ego was busy spinning stories:
You're running behind, you don't have time to do yoga this morning, we have this long list of important things to do
The next week has been scheduled, let's dive straight in to get through the workload
We need to do this task, in this specific order, which will help us get more exposure so that we get more clients and that will bring in abundance
If we have a productive day, we can treat ourselves to a reward.
This mental intensity can create a thick cloud that blocks us from hearing messages from the higher realms.
It's like a long list of chores... And tbh I know better. One thing I've learnt recently:
Key Point #2
A great way to create stress and burn yourself out is to treat your day like a list of chores that need to be completed.
This is the overflow effect of hustle culture. Of the Overachiever trauma response.
What messages am I sending into the quantum field if I believe all these things?
I don't have enough time.
I can't have what I want now.
I need to experience difficulty before I enjoy a reward.
The quantum field is neutral – it dutifully gives us more of what we are feeding into it. And energetically, the Ego Mind has a talent for sending out signals of lack, limitation and scarcity.
Now we can see the domino effect of these 3D limiting beliefs, let's make a conscious choice to change the stories we tell ourselves.
When I make time for my yoga practice, I am telling the quantum field that my self-care is a priority and I have enough time to nourish myself.
When I refrain from meticulously planning my week, I create spaciousness and room for my Higher Self to make suggestions through intuitive hits, downloads, inspiration and synchronicity.
Key Point #3
When in doubt, ask yourself: “Does it light me up?”
When my mind is busy and controlling, I can move into stillness of the heart. And here, I can filter all the options available to me, checking: How does this option make me feel? Does it light me up?
If there is joy and excitement there, that's one big sign that there is some Soul-alignment that is ripe for the taking.
Changing Our Primary Operating System
It probably won't make sense to your Ego mind, there's no logic in it. And that's part of the paradigm shift, changing our primary operating system from the Ego stories of the Mind to tuning into the sensations of Heart.
That's not to say we abandon the mind, no not at all. It's still an extremely useful tool. We just change the order in which we utilise it.
Before making a choice, we check in with the heart to ensure the energy feels joyous, exciting and expansive. Because these feelings are the most direct signals that we are receiving messages from our Soul.
Once we have the green light there, we invite our mind to get involved in the process. Our heart confirms that the destination is aligned with our Soul, our mind can then break down the practical steps we need to take to make that a physical reality.
That's the new belief I'm experimenting with:
Prioritise self-care and play so that I'm a vibrational match for joyful opportunities
Ditch the tendencies to control and plan everything
Create more moments of stillness and spaciousness to listen.
Shifting from Ego Achiever to Higher Self Receiver.
That's the technique I’m experimenting with, might be fun to try it out for yourself?
Wow, what an unexpected data dump... Probably not the most cohesive piece of writing I’ve done haha – hope it wasn’t a mess to follow.
Anyway, I'm off to start my day with some yoga. And I just noticed my clock just hit 11:11am… Thanks for the confirmation ;)
