Now that we know how tattoos are created on the ego.  Is there a way to remove them?  Yes.  Is it permanent?  No.  Sometimes the battle within your subconscious can get so bad about one issue or another that you have tattoos going up left and right all over the ego, and yet that still constant battle within.

Take for example trust issues.  I never realized how badly I had them until I had to start really looking at my ego.  Not only did I have trouble trusting others, but mostly I could not trust myself.  On the other hand, I wanted to trust so badly that I would force myself in a type of denial that made me believe that no one would hurt me.  Huge mistake!  Not only did it blind me to my self worth, but it created a personality in me to constantly feel as though I had to prove myself to others before I was worthy of their trust.

I wanted these tattoos and battles to cease immediately!  Here is where it gets really hard.  You tell your consciousness/God you want to stop fighting within, and could God please remove that tattoo from within. 

Picture within your mind an angel being chosen to set out on a mission to head into the ego, and use God’s Light to do a type of laser removal on the walls of your ego.  The angel walks in with no judgment and finds the markings of trust issues within.  She lasers the words off the walls, carrying back to the subconscious the pieces she removed within.  God then speaks from your consciousness and asks you to look at the hurt again.  This is where the dark night of the soul happens, and another battle begins.  You will either cry the pain out, get extremely angry, throw tantrums like me, or accept that this is going to hurt while God reviews where this came from.

A lot of times people don’t make it through this section and the tattoo ends up going back  on the wall along with a new battle arising within.  They will either turn to alcohol to coat the pain, food to weigh it down, or find someone out there who can spend time with them in order to ignore the pain.  There are many different ways we talk ourselves out of this important step.  That devil is constantly telling you how the whole process is ridiculous, and you will get no where.  He also likes to tell you how you deserve better, and he has got the perfect answer for you.

When you do choose to go ahead and face the pain/fear expect your emotions to rise.  God reminds you that even though He removed that tattoo there is still an outline on that wall.  (Try as hard as you can to not feel guilt while doing this.  Having guilt while cleansing is like mopping your floor with muddy feet.)  You will have a memory of what happen, but no longer the pain because you chose to not allow it to validate you in any way.  It is up to you to take responsibility the next time someone crushes your trust to not allow that tattoo to define you. 

Never once while this is happening are you judged by God, nor does He get tired of doing this for you.  Sometimes it takes a million tries to rid such emotional pain.  God is only proud of you for trying, and not giving up.  Like a parent who is proud of their child when they are responsible for their things, God feels the same way about the lives we have lived.  It is incredibly hard work, but when you clear through the baggage you will see just how rewarding it is.  The God force inside of you starts bringing things to you that you had always wanted, but for some reason never realized you could have.  The devil goes back to mumbling back in his cave and cannot be heard so clearly until the next battle.

It is so very important to make sure you are constantly saying thank you and giving forgiveness through all of this.  It is so easy to get taken back up again by that thing in your ego that if you try to stay in a moment of gratitude of thanks it breaks a habit within. 

Remember, that thing in your ego has no intelligence.  It only knows to work off of habit and pain.  If you are constantly thinking hurt within your mind then it knows how to make itself stronger.

God bless,
