The Wake-Up Call You Didn’t Know You Needed

Listen up, because this isn’t your average self-help book. Christi’s work is a kick in the pants for your soul, urging you to evolve or get left behind. It’s not about feeling good; it’s about becoming the best version of yourself to impact the world.

Here’s the deal: your ego is holding you back from reaching your full potential. Christi doesn’t sugarcoat it. She lays out how your ego is the biggest obstacle to your personal growth and, by extension, the evolution of human consciousness.Think about it. How many times has your ego stopped you from:

  • Admitting you’re wrong
  • Learning a new skill
  • Taking a risk that could 10x your life

Self: The Real MVP

Now, let’s talk about your true self. Not the facade you show on social media, but the core of who you are. Christi’s book is like a treasure map to finding your authentic self. And let me tell you, once you tap into that, you’re unstoppable.

Here’s where things get interesting. Christi isn’t just talking about personal development; she’s talking about a global shift in consciousness. We’re not just lifting weights here; we’re lifting the collective human spirit.

The Action Plan: No BS, Just Results

  1. Heal Your Inner World: Before you can change the world, you need to fix what’s broken inside.
  2. Embrace Conscious Evolution: It’s not about surviving; it’s about thriving and evolving.
  3. Align with Universal Principles: Sync up with the cosmos, and watch your life transform.

A Clarion Call Book

A step-by-step guide to creating a sustainable global shift in consciousness, starting with an inner-world shift at the personal level

Provides psychological and spiritual exercises to heal deep trauma imprints, raise your vibration, and realign with your soul’s higher purpose

Identifies the signs and symptoms of the 12 stages of ascension connected to the global spiritual awakening of 2012

Offers an in-depth overview of 2012 prophecies foretelling humanity’s arrival at a point of no return on the Winter Solstice of 2012 and guidance in preparing for the New World of 2013 and beyond.

According to ancient Mayan prophecy, December 21, 2012, marked the moment of humanity’s rise or fall. Our “rise” depends on higher consciousness, raised vibration, and the expanded awareness of a critical mass of people.

As humanity enters the evolutionary transition from Homo sapiens to Homo luminous–from 3rd-dimensional human beings to 5th-dimensional beings of light–we are being called to fully participate in the dawn of a New World built upon unconditional love, co-support, cooperation, equality, unity, peace, justice, and sustainability.

The ego is part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and personal identity.

What is spirituality? It is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul instead of material or physical things.

What is the self? In Jungian psychology, the self is one of the archetypes, signifying the unification of consciousness and unconsciousness in a person and representing the psyche.

The ego is the gatekeeper between the conscious mind and the unconscious self.

2012 A Clarion Call Book Review

I am almost done reading Nicolya Christi’s 2012 novel A Clarion Call, and I cannot put it down.

This book has so many insightful chapters, and I wanted to share one more titled Ego and Self. I have written about the ego several times on this blog, but Nicolya Christi nailed it in her book.

The ego is often portrayed as the worst enemy of the actual higher self, yet it is, in fact, our most loyal friend.

The ego is viewed as the enemy because, as adults, it often appears to keep us locked in illusion, powerlessness, lack, the need for security, and self-sabotaging and destructive behavior patterns.

We encounter the ego’s resistance whenever we raise consciousness and heal our body, mind, and emotions.

The ego is concerned with survival and will attempt to overthrow anything that threatens its position. However, let us not forget the ego’s real purpose and how it serves us. In early childhood, it is the ego that comes to our rescue.

As infants, we incarnate as pure soul energy; the higher self is most present. This is the true self that is exquisite, unprotected, and open.

The ego emerges when the self is not responded to or met in absolute purity, lovely gentleness, and infinite wisdom.

To the child, the world sees anyone as hostile, which is reinforced and reflected in the behavior of the wider community’s parents, caregivers, teachers, authorities, and dysfunctional systems.

Nicolya Christi Claims The Ego is a Shield

The ego shields us from emotional/psychological or actual physical death as infants and children when the world’s harshness and hostility invade. We could say that the ego is the warrior who serves the “king” or “queen,” the self that embodies pure unconditional love.

The ego steps into the role that the self would have taken had it remained present instead of retreating due to the harsh, threatening, and hostile environment.

So, withdrawals are waiting when the consciousness and vibration of the environment are more aligned with its vibration and when it can sense the exact upright moment to re-emerge.

This does not require that the whole world is in harmony with the self; it only takes one or more people, like vibration, to call it forth.

Over the years, the higher self often remains withdrawn. The ego, which has taken over life to ensure survival, eventually forgets about the person’s existence due to the layers of defense mechanisms it has put in place.

The ego is instinctual, not intuitive, and will react instead of respond.

The ego has a sophisticated set of strategies, which serve as rigid, set programs that keep us locked into a survival mentality.

The ego will continue to create challenging life experiences, which, in turn, act as a feedback system to the program that is set to survive, survive, survive. The ego mistakenly believes it is the king or queen of the kingdom of the self.

Meanwhile, the true regent, the self, withholds from stepping forward to reclaim their throne until it feels safe.

Self is a pure expression of unconditional love and unity consciousness. Self is all that is good and balanced, integrated and fair, wise and gentle, and evolved and enlightened within each of us. This never changes, no matter what takes place in our lives.

The fourteenth-century philosopher Paracelsus said:

Inside each one of us is a special piece of heaven whole and unbroken.” Whatever our life circumstances, the self can be resurrected whenever we feel ready to heal and integrate the ego.”

Humanity is beginning to move away from suffering consciousness and into a knowledge based upon fulfillment and joy.

The self is the phoenix rising from the ashes of a rapidly falling past to make way for a future of hope and freedom.  We could say that the past represents the ego, and the future represents the self.

The ego is driven by fear and specializes in defense and attack.

In psychological terms, the ego is regarded as the “adapted” self, and the true self is the “authentic” Self.  This adapted self that many people believe themselves to be unaware that there is another self whose essence is pure unconditional love and peace.

The extent of our early childhood wounding and the hostility of the early environment are responsible for how disconnected we become from our true selves by reaching adulthood.

Many of us live active spiritual/religious lives yet remain detached from the true self.

This comes as a result of establishing identities that suggest to us that we are “over it,” “healed,” and “above it.” Such identifications can defend against confronting our intense pain/trauma or emotional/psychological wounds from the past.

This does not mean that we are not spiritual or not in touch with our sublime aspects.  But there may be a split between our ego and our higher self.

Proof of this can be found in dysfunctional or different behavior patterns in our personal lives.

When we align with an integrated ego, we express through the higher self, which connects us to the soul and gives us access to the spirit.

The first step toward self-healing and self-actualization is acknowledging the ego’s role in our lives to appreciate how it has helped us survive, even if the events we have experienced have caused great suffering.

There comes the point for anyone exploring the truth of who they are when the self begins to prepare for re-emergence.

At this stage, the ego becomes aware of the self.  In reaction, the ego devises many defense strategies.

An example is when someone whose heart is closed falls in love. The ego views anything that will awaken the heart as a threat to its survival.

Self-sabotaging mechanisms operate as the ego begins to defend itself against the emerging self.

As the self awakens, it begins to communicate with and be influenced by the soul and access ancient and higher wisdom.

As the self begins its journey toward actualization, it will encounter ego defenses as shadow material to block its path.

Some examples of shadow material are fear, shame, rage, worthlessness, lack, and pain.

With wisdom and openness, insight and awareness, forgiveness and compassion, empathy, and love, the self can heal and transmute these shadow energies into its light.

How can we reclaim the throne as the actual seat of the self?

If we learn to do this for ourselves and encourage others to do the same, we can transform a world that currently mirrors the ego into one that reflects the values of the true self.

The Bottom Line

Look, if you’re content with mediocrity, this book isn’t for you. But if you’re ready to level up not just your life, but potentially contribute to a global consciousness shift, “2012: A Clarion Call” is your playbook.

Remember, change is uncomfortable. But you know what’s more uncomfortable? Staying the same while the world evolves around you.

So, are you going to answer the call, or let it go to voicemail?

The choice is yours. But know this: the world needs you at your best, not just for you, but for all of us. Now, go out there and make it happen.
