Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been doing meditation for a year now and I have been doing Yoga for many years now.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am also an avid reader of your works and other great names.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was feeling a real change in my perception and a grip on the ego, which I could feel had put me on a higher vibration and all that comes with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, I am experiencing a relapse into what I thought I had put behind me and it is a bit alarming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am experiencing bouts of jealousy and anger and I don\u2019t know where they are coming from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or rather I know that it\u2019s coming from the ego part of me but I thought I had overcome that part, it seems not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like you to explain why this is happening, how to get past it again, and if I do get past it will it come back?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I really need some insight because this is like a vicious circle and I feel like it is getting a firm hold. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suspect the changes you felt in your ego from your practice of meditation and yoga were real.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think the resurgence of anger and jealousy is really a relapse as much as it is an uncovering of a new, deeper layer of emotional conditioning that your spiritual practices have revealed so that it can be dissolved and healed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is often the cycle of spiritual evolution; we clear a certain layer of conditioning and then experience a consequent expansive state of awareness that may feel so good that we think we are finished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the exposure of this deeper, rawer, and sometimes more intense feeling\/behavior, we may feel we have regressed to our former reactive ego self.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, it means we are working on the next stage of awakening, which is bringing us ever closer to our unlimited, unconditioned self.<\/span><\/p>\n
