Boundaries

know thyself

know thy boundaries

Truly knowing yourself will put you automatically in a position where you know your boundaries

The ego likes boundaries as it's sense of self is reliant on how people treat it. The soul does not have boundaries, the soul is unity consciousness. The ego is separation consciousness. 

does having boundaries enforce and strengthen the ego?

yes and no. It depends on what type of boundaries and why they are there. What is your intention for your boundary? 

if the intention is there to enforce and glorify the ego, then yes this boundary will increase its strength and separation consciousness. If the intention is there to protect you, the boundary is there to protect you, enable you to be more in soul and closer to unity consciousness then no this boundary will not strengthen the ego. The boundary is there as a function in this 3D world to help you detach from it and go deeper into self. 

always always always consider the intention behind this boundary. Why is it there? Is it to make your ego feel better about itself and its position in this world or is it there to protect yourself from your ego and or this 3D world taking more and more control over you and your mind. 

consider this deeply. Contemplate

 

make a list of the boundaries you want to put in place. And next to them after a meditation write down the intention behind these boundaries. Write it in a form of a table

 

for example. I want a boundary with my friend which my mind perceives her behaviour as sometimes disrespecting me. 

why does it bother me when she behaves like this? Is it because I feel it drags my vibration down and makes me want to retaliate or become resentful? Therefore making it more difficult for me to stay in peace love and joy? Or is it because I want to teach her a lesson that she has no right to treat me in this disrespectful way. You are protecting your energy. That's what a boundary is for.

 

once you have asserted the reason for wanting to assert a boundary, you must let soul guide you in your asserting and implementing this boundary. 

It is your mind that gets in the way. That panics when it perceives a boundary has been crossed. Whenever there is boundary crossed and your mind and emotions are triggered if you can remove yourself from the situation to give yourself some space. Alternatively you can remain seated, go back into soul and allow soul to bring you the right response. Then you must let it go. It's in the past. Never be afraid to express what soul brings. There is no danger, you are always safe with soul. Do not let the 3D make you believe that you are ever in danger.
