It’s Your Ego-Stupid! is a show lovingly intended for spiritual, intelligent, and imperfect people like you, me, and everyone. People, who may at times be led into what I call “ego stupidity,” a lesser version of themselves, and a lesser version of life. The show draws upon my forty years working as a psychologist in the clinical, university, public school, and private practice settings, to put forth a vision and message that heightens the listener’s awareness of the intense link between our ego and Spirit, our humanity and divinity, and the synergy that can lead to the best version of ourselves and life. From this vantage point, the show offers a unique and different perspective in which raising and integrating awareness of both human and spiritual consciousness is encountered. It’s Your Ego-Stupid! will offer a much deeper understanding of what ego is, what it can be doing to a person’s life to weaken one’s human and spiritual wellness, and how the listener can heal in each of these areas if needed. A central focus of the show involves coming to know that ego is an energy operating within us which when unhealthy and imbalanced in its power, flexibility, or vulnerability can have harmful effects on a person’s life. Particularly, in important areas involving the ability to love oneself and others, forming close relationships, achieving and experiencing a sense of meaning in one’s life, experiencing genuine happiness, and many more. Which also has a “ripple effect” on one’s spiritual wellness. It’s Your Ego-Stupid! will follow a general format of looking at signs of difficulty in an important life area, such as those mentioned earlier, reflections of ego stupidity at work, insights pertaining to ego energy fueling the difficulty, and ego’s impact on spiritual wellness. The core healing message that will be woven into the programs involves a concept I discuss in my books called “ego medicine.” This involves: 1) Understanding what ego is and isn’t, 2) Tuning into one’s ego energy, and 3) Replacing ego rooted non-reality based thoughts with those which are connected to human and Divine Truth.
Resurrection – The Earthly Union of Our Humanity and DivinityAired Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, I will be focusing on the topic of my forthcoming book, Resurrection—The Earthly Union of Our Humanity and Divinity. The resurrection I'm referring to is one in which one can awaken from the deadness of their egoically based inhumanity to the life-fullness of their humanity being lived in concert with their Divinity. Unfortunately, this is an experience unfamiliar to many who have been unable to awaken to be the Love, Life, and Energy—God Is, within their daily life. And, being unable to recognize and fully embrace the Divine Gifts of their Life, Creating their Life, Eternal Life, and God's Presence Within them, due to significant ego energy issues. Our earthly resurrection is about fully being our Divine Truth and embracing each of the Divine Gifts, allowing us to experience an earthly version of heaven, here and now. I'll be looking at the relationship between our Ego energy and Divine energy that influences the transformation and earthly resurrection that we can bring about, if we so choose. I will be discussing a path of consciousness that we must walk in order to awaken to our Divine Truth and the Divine Gifts which are the endowment and heritage that all have received due to the wisdom of the ages which has unfolded at the hands of God. Not an earthly or humanly constructed version of God. But, God that has existed in the Love, Life, and Energy that is the source of all things and was present long before we humans were here and made possible as the product of creation and evolution. Our earthly resurrection begins with this foundation, the absence of which prevents us from rising from the deadness of our inhumanity, for those who are caught up in it, due to ego energy issues.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing in our life to keep us from living the greatest life possible, humanly and spiritually, and what we can do about it.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#RolesPeopleLive #Resurrection #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupidSubscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/
Roles People Live – The BullyAired Wednesday, December 22, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Bully. The Bully seeks opportunities to prey upon the weaknesses of others. Each act of bullying adds to their sense of empowerment. The more they can witness weakness within others, the more they can feel empowered. All strategies to accomplish this are welcome. Be they physical, mental, emotional, or social forms of abuse. What they truly seek is to gain as much distance as possible from their own sense of weakness. This is revealed most directly in how often they target the most vulnerable of those whom they encounter. For them, bullying these people is safest, as they are least likely to challenge their sense of empowerment.During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of Higher Ego Power on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Bully. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Bully is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their Higher Ego Power energy and their mind. Many of them, the Bully is unaware of, but still exerting a powerful negative impact on their life and unfortunately others. I'll also be looking at what their ego energy is doing to block the Bully from hearing the voice of spirit which is rooted in their Divinity. An inability to recognize the Love, Life, and Energy—God Is, within their being, due to the great distance being created by their ego energy. When the Bully is able to “hear” the mistruths contained within ego's voice and the truths in spirit's voice, the door to transformation can open, and the days of living in the role of Bully can be ended.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within the life of those who are living in the role of the Bully, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#RolesPeopleLive #Bully #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupidSubscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

The Hedonist has developed an insatiable need for pleasure. They seek to meet this need at every opportunity that presents in which they can experience physical or psychological pleasure. Even when it may come at the expense of others or their own health. They equate pleasure with happiness, and its absence as unhappiness. Unfortunately, their strong desire for pleasure, and limited tolerance for its absence, leads them in the direction of many addictions that can fulfill their pleasure related needs. Which may include but are not limited to alcohol, drugs, food, sex, and gambling.During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of Lower Ego Vulnerability on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Hedonist.

The Dependent Person has significant difficulty exercising control and influence over what is taking place in their life. They have little trust in themselves and often look to others for guidance. They question their own judgment and decision-making. Often, wanting others to tell them what to say, think, or do. They are excellent candidates to be exploited, manipulated, or abused. People can readily take over their life, as they readily give away power easily, not even realizing they have it to begin with. They often believe they aren't entitled to assume or allowed to take control over their own life. They are also excellent at accepting blame for things that were not truly of their own making.

This event or events often reappears in some way, shape, or form within their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or bodily experiences. The Traumatized Person remains connected to the event/s in order to prevent their reoccurrence and ensure their safety and survival. The event/s often creates a wall between themselves and those who have not encountered a traumatic event, particularly loved ones. It is as though they can never be truly known or understood by those who have not encountered their trauma.During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of higher ego vulnerability on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Traumatized Person.

The Paranoid Person has developed a significant distrust for all that is going on around them. They form rigid, inflexible thoughts, particularly about people, often lacking in social validation, which are intended to keep them safe. The only thinking they can and will trust is their own. Exposing themselves to the thinking of others is looked upon by them as placing themselves at risk. Changing their own thinking is also looked upon as dangerous because it represents an admission that they weren't as protected by their thoughts as they thought they were.During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego flexibility on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Paranoid Person.

The Narcissist has fallen in love with themselves and wants others to do so as well. Even if that means others must love themselves less. They have an intense sense of self-importance that diminishes those who surround them. Their needs are of the utmost importance and must be met before those of others can be considered. People only exist to meet their needs. They greatly confuse wants with needs, viewing them as being the same. Furthermore, they have great difficulty recognizing any weaknesses within themselves, only noticing their strengths. They are likely to disown those persons who would seek to point out any of their weaknesses to them. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of higher ego power on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Narcissist.

The Inattentive Person is oblivious to much of what is going on within and around them. Their attention is mainly held by that which allows them to experience arousal, excitement, and stimulation, particularly those connected to feeling pleasure. They live in a world of distraction, often going from one idea or task to the next before completing anything. When the novelty or enjoyment of an activity has worn off, they are done, even if the task isn't. Boredom comes very easily to them. They do poorly with things requiring planning, organizing, or discipline, as they often require effort in the face of boredom. This can apply to their relationships, in which others often experience them as disinterested, insensitive, or reckless. Paying little attention to their needs if they fail to provide the Inattentive Person with excitement and pleasure. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego vulnerability on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Inattentive Person.

Roles People Live – The UnderachieverAired Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Underachiever. The Underachiever achieves less than they are capable of achieving, often significantly underutilizing the talents they possess. This is rooted in the absence of belief in themselves. They have learned to expect failure and can readily find it in whatever they are doing. They often avoid success and are good at overlooking or dismissing their successes and achievement, often turning victory into defeat. This allows them to avoid the responsibility that comes with success and achievement—as this responsibility would remove them from their “comfort zone” of helplessness and ineptitude. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego power on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Underachiever. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Underachiever is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their lower ego power energy and their mind. Many of them, the Underachiever is unaware of, but still exerting a powerful impact on their life and unfortunately others.

The Adult Child is an adult who requires the guidance of others on a frequent basis. They feel lost without this direction and seek it out rather than standing on their own thinking. They trust others more than themselves to know the right things to think, feel, or do. Their spouse or partner is likely to become a mother or father figure, replacing those who served this purpose during their childhood and adolescence. People experience them as quite immature and younger than their actual age. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of higher ego flexibility on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Adult Child. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Adult Child is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their higher ego flexibility and their mind. Many of them, the Adult Child is unaware of, but still exerting a powerful impact on their life and unfortunately others. I'll also be looking at what their ego energy is doing to block the Adult Child from hearing the voice of spirit which is rooted in their Divinity.

The High-Maintenance Partner requires frequent acknowledgement, acceptance, and approval from their partner, that often puts an extra strain on the relationship. There are lots of feelings of insecurity and self-doubt that drive them towards these needs .They are very sensitive to signs of rejection and can readily find them in their partner's thoughts, words, and deeds. Even those which are quite normal and innocent. Often, their partner may have to engage in some form of damage control to help them know they're still loved and are not going to be abandoned.

When the High-Maintenance Partner is able to “hear” the mistruth contained within ego's voice and the truth in spirit's voice, the door to transformation can open, and the days of living in the role of High-Maintenance Partner can be ended.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within the life of those who are living in the role of the High-Maintenance Partner, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#RolesPeopleLive #HighMaintenancePartner #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid
Roles People Live – The RacistAired Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Racist. A person who believes that race should have a significant impact on how people who are understood and judged. They often view members of their own race as superior and those not of their own race as inferior. While racism is still widespread in today's society, they exhibit thoughts and behaviors more overtly than most people and do not question their immorality. The Racist looks upon people of a particular group as lacking in their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. This often serves as a basis for overt and covert discrimination against this group. They are prone to recognize or emphasize what is different about this group and fail to recognize what is similar to their own racial group. They also stereotype and generalize about members of a particular racial group while failing to recognize dissimilarities and the diversity which exists within this group. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego flexibility on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Racist. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Racist is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their lower ego flexibility and their mind. Many of them, the Racist is unaware of, but still exerting a powerful impact on their life and unfortunately others. I'll also be looking at what their ego energy is doing to block the Racist from hearing the voice of spirit which is rooted in their Divinity. An inability to recognize the Love, Life, and Energy—God Is, within their being, due to the great distance being created by their ego energy. When the Racist is able to “hear” the mistruth contained within ego's voice and the truth in spirit's voice, the door to transformation can open, and the days of living in the role of Racist can be ended.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within the life of those who are living in the role of the Racist, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#RolesPeopleLive #Racist #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid
Roles People Live – The DictatorAired Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Dictator. A person who thinks they have the right to control how others must think, feel, and behave. A person who has come to know themselves as greater than others by virtue of their intellect, talent, money, or social standing. A person who is convinced of their superiority entitling them to be an unquestioned influence on others. Often, becoming extremely angered by those who question them and who are seen as seeking to reduce their power and control. This can be a family member or “friend” who acts abusively towards others and has difficulty recognizing their mistreatment of them, when it is so clearly able to be seen. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of higher ego power on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Dictator. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Dictator is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their higher ego power energy and their mind. Many of them, the Dictator is unaware of, but still exerting a powerful impact on their life and unfortunately others. I'll also be looking at what their ego energy is doing to block the Dictator from hearing the voice of spirit which is rooted in their Divinity. An inability to recognize the Love, Life, and Energy—God Is, within their being, due to the great distance being created by their ego energy.

A person who has identified someone or some group they must follow without question. A person who believes the leader or group possesses what they must come to possess in order to experience happiness and meaning in their life. A person who sees the leader or group as knowing the right thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to emulate and blindly follow in order to bring them to the “truth.” Often, failing to realize that the true leader to follow in one's life is oneself—not others. To be the leader of one's life and to be fully accountable for one's thoughts, words, and deeds—not the leader or group. This can be a family member or friend who suddenly and unexpectedly drops out of familiar social circles because connection to them is no longer permitted by the leader or group.During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of higher ego flexibility on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of the Cultist.

Roles People Live – The VictimAired Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Victim. A person who is entrapped in the notion that life has it in for them and they are powerless to do anything about it. A person who often points to a series of large and small misfortunes as documentation of their victimhood. A person experiencing the disproportionate sense that bad things happen far more often to them than to others. Often failing to realize the problem isn't the problem, but rather their helpless reaction to the problem that keeps them in the role of victim. This is someone who can be a family member or friend who often complains about the unfairness of life. And, their lack of ability to do anything about it.During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego power on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of Victim. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Victim is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their lower ego power energy and their mind.

Roles People Live – The AuthoritarianAired Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Authoritarian. A person who has a rigid and inflexible approach to their thoughts and thinking, which they see little need to change even when confronted with new, better, or different information, that can serve to enhance the quality of their mind. A person who believes they “own” the truth and believes others should be converted to it. A person who has a propensity to look upon different ideas and beliefs as being deficient, as well as the people who think them. This is someone who can be a family member or friend, a co-worker or employer. Unfortunately, this role often contributes to intolerance, frustration, and resentment of others who do not always share their views and opinions. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego flexibility on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of Authoritarian.

Roles People Live – The PerfectionistAired Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Perfectionist. A person who has difficulty coming to terms with the weaknesses and imperfections of their humanity. A person who has difficulty accepting themselves as they are and often engages in perfectionism as a means to hiding their weaknesses from themselves as well as, from others. An approach to life that is often stressful for themselves and others, particularly those they live or work with. This is someone who can be a family member or friend, a co-worker or employer. Unfortunately, this approach only offers temporary, if any relief, because they are working against the inherent imperfect nature of their humanity. While failing to realize that our perfection resides within our Divinity. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of higher ego vulnerability on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of Perfectionist. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Perfectionist is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their higher ego vulnerability energy and their mind.

Roles People Live – The SociopathAired Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely at people who are living in the role of the Sociopath. A person who has developed a complete disregard for the welfare and rights of others. A person who can feel no empathy for others or guilt for what they have done to bring harm or pain to others. A person who often enjoys the suffering they have brought forth in the lives of others. This is someone who can be a family member or friend, a co-worker or employer. Possibly an acquaintance or stranger. Prisons are filled with them. So are people who work in the white-collar community who can be quite successful, while being skilled at gaming the system. Many are employed in business and as politicians. During this show, I'll be drawing upon my book The Two Voices Within to look at the impact of lower ego vulnerability on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of those living in the role of Sociopath. I'll be looking at the “voice” of ego and the messages the Sociopath is experiencing and working with due to the mixture of their lower ego vulnerability energy and their mind.

Lower Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Interacting with People in Healthy WaysAired Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM EST This week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to interact with people in healthy ways. Another way of putting it is, “How good are we at getting along with people?” Not just friends and family, but people in general. Our success in connecting with people in the broader sense—acquaintances and strangers—has important implications for our social, emotional, and spiritual growth. It's this growth that allows us to experience peace and love for all people, regardless of their background. Something, many people have trouble doing, which is having a harmful impact on the quality of their lives. Failure to cultivate this growth often sets the stage for mental health, marital, sexual, D&A, legal, and work adjustment difficulties. Unfortunately, for those experiencing lower or higher ego power, flexibility, and vulnerability, there are lots of ‘getting along with people' issues, rooted in these ego energies, where they have become entrapped in thought, emotional, and behavior patterns, in which they are spending more time surviving in society rather than truly living.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego vulnerability, their lack of emotion leads to the formation of relationships that are superficial and lacking in emotional depth. They can take or leave them, and if the relationship ends, so what! Their emotional detachment undermines investment in and building relationships of any kind, including those beyond the home and familial setting. They are inclined to “use” relationships for what they can get out of them. This includes their being a potential source of “emotional entertainment” in which they can enjoy the drama and stimulation that comes from being in relationships, including those which are relationships in name only. A relationship can often be like a tool for amusement to them. Once the amusement stops, the relationship stops. They can also come across as insensitive to others, because their lack of empathy and compassion prevents them from realizing the impact they're having on others. They aren't particularly interested in the needs of others, particularly the emotional ones, which undermines the formation of healthy relationships. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Hedonist, the Logician, and the Inattentive Person. During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by lower ego vulnerability energy in their ability to interact with people in healthy ways. I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform lower ego vulnerability into a healthier and more balanced place.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#LowerEgoVulnerability #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid
Higher Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Interacting with People in Healthy WaysAired Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to interact with people in healthy ways.

These issues often lead them to look for people who can give them what they have difficulty giving to themselves—mainly unconditional love and acceptance. This desperate need undermines their formation of healthy relationships because these significant needs often filter into relationships, including less intimate ones. Healthy relationships with others are built upon our having a healthy relationship with ourselves, to serve as a foundation, which they are lacking. They often want others to substitute for what's lacking in the relationship with themselves—which never works. Failing to realize this, the higher ego vulnerability person is often going down a dead-end street, when it comes to forming healthy relationships with anyone. A relationship that will allow them to form healthy, secure connections to others (not attachments), that allow for room to grow in each of the participants. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Stressed-Out Person, the Overly Self-Critical Person, and the Overachiever. During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by higher ego vulnerability energy in their ability to interact with people in healthy ways.

They have difficulty questioning what others are telling them to think or believe, and can readily become followers—sometimes of the wrong people. Their overly flexible approach to what they are being told often leads them to accept it as truth or gospel. Slowly but surely, they take on the ideas, beliefs, values, prejudices, and even illusions of others, while losing themselves in the relationship. This undermines the forming of healthy relationships when someone stops being themselves and starts becoming someone else, in order to be in the relationship. A relationship in which someone loses connection to their truth in order to live in the truth of another person. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Cultist, the Loyalist, and the Adult Child.During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by higher ego flexibility energy in their ability to interact with people in healthy ways.

Unfortunately, for those with lower ego flexibility, they often enter into social interactions with a rigid and inflexible mind set. When things get around to sharing ideas, beliefs, and opinions their rigidity “shines through” in the form of questioning or attacking others who express ones that are different from their own. Their lack of tolerance for different beliefs and propensity to view them as deficient, undermines the formation of healthy relationships with those from different backgrounds, due to the undertone of disrespect that often seeps through. They narrow the field of candidates with whom they can form relationships—not necessarily healthy ones—to those who think a lot like them. For them, this is the main criterion for forming relationships. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Authoritarian, the Ethnocentrist, and the Paranoid Person.During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by lower ego flexibility energy in their ability to interact with people in healthy ways.

They prefer to remain in the background and remain passive rather than asserting themselves. Which makes it hard for people to get to know them. They are also easy targets for becoming involved in unhealthy relationships where people exert control over them via manipulation, exploitation, and even abuse. Their disempowerment often leads them to want others to believe in them as a means to believing in themselves and allowing others to exert more influence in their life than should occur. Unfortunately, this sets the stage for forming unhealthy relationships with people who take advantage of these needs—often people with higher ego power. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Conformist, the Dependent, and the Victim.

Something they find to be disempowering, as listening invites someone else influencing what they want to think. They often think they're the smartest person in the room and more entitled to express their opinions than others are, which rubs people the wrong way. Their sense of entitlement often makes them feel justified in attacking others, either openly or covertly, and they could care less about the repercussions of these attacks. When it comes to relationships, it's all about them. Building a relationship for them, involves finding people they can control, which feeds their needs for over-empowerment.

Lower Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Resolving ConflictAired Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to resolve the small and large conflicts, arguments, and disagreements that take place in our lives. These conflicts are inevitable because we each possess an individuality that makes us unlike anyone who has ever lived, is living, or will be living. It is this uniqueness in our being, rooted in our having been formed by a unique set of life events, relationships, and experiences, that sets the stage for this inevitable conflict. One of the tasks of life is to reconcile our differences in ways that can lead to growth and learning from conflict rather than the often seen distance and destructiveness that results from conflict. Conflicts that often last far too long, being fueled by the ego energy at work to keep them unresolved. Particularly, those involving our spouse or partner, parents, children, and siblings.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego vulnerability, their difficulties with experiencing emotions such as anxiety, anger, and guilt, as well as feeling compassion and empathy, often makes them oblivious to the frequency and intensity of conflicts that are actually taking place. In fact, they are often surprised when someone calls their attention to them. Others experience them as being rude, insensitive, and disrespectful when disagreements take place. Lower ego vulnerability persons may also precipitate arguments and disagreements (some may call it drama) for the fun of it. Often, enjoying the emotional arousal they experience from being in conflict, as well as, enjoying the effects of conflict on others. For them, conflicts can often be a source of entertainment. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Hedonist, the Inattentive Person, and the Sadist.During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by lower ego vulnerability energy in their ability to work through and resolve conflicts.

Conflicts that often last far too long, being fueled by the ego energy at work to keep them unresolved. Particularly, those involving our spouse or partner, parents, children, and siblings. Unfortunately, for those with higher ego vulnerability, conflicts often become personal and attach themselves to the underlying and often unrecognized issues in accepting the weaknesses and imperfections of their humanity. Consequently, conflicts become personalized and often drift from the surface issues that began the conflict to needs of the higher vulnerability person to keep distance from their hidden issues. Great examples of this are when people frequently fight over petty or stupid stuff or engage in inappropriate attacks, when they are “losing” in the conflict taking place. Their higher ego vulnerability energy leads them to engage in more destructive rather than constructive arguments, because the issue precipitating the conflict isn't the real focus anymore. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the High-Maintenance Partner, the Overachiever, and the Perfectionist.During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by higher ego vulnerability energy in their ability to work through and resolve conflicts.

Conflicts that often last far too long, being fueled by the ego energy at work to keep them unresolved. Particularly, those involving our spouse or partner, parents, children, and siblings.Unfortunately, for those with higher ego flexibility, they have a difficult time initiating or participating in healthy conflict. Their overly flexible mind makes it difficult to think for themselves and being able to challenge others, when it would be appropriate to do so. For them, truth lies elsewhere and not within. So, they avoid conflicts because they have greater respect for what others think than for what they think. This contributes to their being overly agreeable, naïve, or gullible in situations where there can be differences of opinion, including what they have to say on the issue, that are equally worthy of being respected. They miss many opportunities to grow their mind and others which comes with raising questions about matters under consideration when conflict is taking place. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Adult Child, the Cultist, and the Puppet.

Unfortunately, for those with lower ego flexibility, conflicts are about their need to prove to themselves and others that they know and own the truth. Their mental rigidity and inflexible mind, blinds them to the awareness that much of what they think is based on their beliefs and not absolute truth, that they possess. The absence of this awareness intensifies conflicts that become more about proving they own the truth and less about the issue at hand. They also experience a fundamental weakness in that they think any different thoughts that others hold are deficient.

Conflicts that often last far too long, being fueled by the ego energy at work to keep them unresolved. Particularly, those involving our spouse or partner, parents, children, and siblings. Unfortunately, for those with lower ego power, conflicts are opportunities for them to feel further weakened and disempowered. Consequently, they often keep their distance from conflict by failing to speak up or assert themselves when that would be the right thing for them to do. Sometimes, conflicts are necessary and can be a source of leaning and growth for themselves and others. But, they fail to be involved in them. They prefer to play it safe, rather than ruffling feathers, when some feathers need to be ruffled. Their failure to “draw a line” by refusing to engage in necessary conflict makes them excellent candidates to be exploited or manipulated by others. They often treat their needs or can be convinced by others that their needs are less important and secondary to those of others, leading to avoidance of conflict in which they should be standing up for themselves. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Victim, the Dependent, and the Conformist.During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by lower ego power energy in their ability to work through and resolve conflicts.

Conflicts that often last far too long, being fueled by the ego energy at work to keep them unresolved. Particularly, those involving our spouse or partner, parents, children, and siblings. Unfortunately, for those with higher ego power, conflicts are opportunities for them to feed their needs to feel over-empowered. Their intense need for feeling empowered fosters an approach to conflict in which they resort to harmful and destructive approaches, when necessary, in an effort to “win” in the conflict. Approaches that are immoral, unethical, or illegal are welcomed by them. Consequently, physical abuse, psychological abuse (sometimes subtle), humiliation, and intimidation, just to name a few, are some of the techniques they resort to using, in order to defeat those with whom they are in conflict. For them, there is no such thing as a “win-win” conflict. That would involve sharing power. All conflicts are “win-lose” and they must be the winner. Losing in a conflict (large or something small or petty) is unthinkable. It represents disempowerment which they find intolerable due to the nature of their ego energy.

These include the work, health, financial, marital, and familial stressors that contribute to the build-up of stress in us over time, and which we are called upon to manage so that they don't get the better of us. Stressors that can manage us rather than our managing them when we are failing to manage them. Leading to chronic stress that can precipitate major health problems, including heart disease and cancer, the top two causes of premature death. During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by lower ego vulnerability energy in their encounters with stressors and stress. I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform lower ego vulnerability into a healthier and more balanced place.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego vulnerability, they often have difficulty experiencing the healthy emotional warning signs to help them recognize stressors and if they are under stress. So, they have trouble experiencing the anxiety to cue them that somethings not right regarding what is happening in relationships, at work, in their health, or financial areas, that needs their attention. Thinking that everything is fine, when most certainly things are not fine, not even close to being fine. They can also be very stressful for the people they live with, who become frustrated with their failure to see and deal with the obvious problems, sooner rather than later, if ever. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Hedonist, the Logician, and the Inattentive Person.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#LowerEgoVulnerability #Stressors #Stress #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid

Compounding their difficulty, they can also become upset about their having become upset. Also, the flood of emotions often results in a lot of “emotional thinking” that is fitted with lots of distortions about the nature of the financial, health, work, relationship, etc. stressor and what to do about it.

I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform lower ego vulnerability into a healthier and more balanced place.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego vulnerability, they have a difficult time recognizing, taking responsibility, and looking for solutions to the problems they encounter. This is often due to the weak emotional cues, particularly guilt, they fail to experience. That can help them to see more clearly what has taken place, and their role in it. Thus, contributing to a “ripple effect” in which they have difficulty learning from their failures, losses, and mistakes; recognizing the harmful impact these can be having upon others; and difficulty receiving constructive criticism from those who are trying to help them.

This tends to magnify the size of the problem they are confronting, which can make it seem larger than it is. And shrink their perceived ability to manage it. Their attempts to understand and solve problems can become flooded with “emotional thinking” which gets in the way of their effectiveness.

Higher Ego Flexibility and Difficulty Dealing with AdversityAired Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on It's Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to deal with the adversity that we are all confronted with owing to the imperfection of our humanity. These include the various failures, losses, and mistakes we are all called upon to manage, from time to time. Life success is often a function of how well we get up and learn from them after having been knocked down by them. During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by higher ego flexibility energy in their encounters with adversity. I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform higher ego flexibility into a healthier and more balanced place.Unfortunately, for those with higher ego flexibility they often take a very flexible approach in which they listen too much to others and too little to themselves, in their efforts to deal with problems. This places them at risk of listening to the wrong people, at the wrong times, who can be giving them bad information. Even if these people or resources (beware of the Internet) have good intentions and are trying to be helpful. This often serves to weaken their grasp of the causes that contributed to the difficulty and the solutions that can serve them best in managing it. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Adult Child and the Puppet.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#HigherEgoFlexibility #DifficultyDealingWithAdversity #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid

I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform lower ego flexibility into a healthier and more balanced place.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego flexibility they often take a rigid and inflexible approach to thinking about their failures, losses, and mistakes. This often limits their understanding of the causes of problems, their contribution to them, and the solutions which may be necessary. This includes often thinking “inside the box” and mainly using what they know or want to know. This lends itself to a very stubborn quality in which they keep using the same approaches, even if they aren't working. They have particular difficulty handling more complex problems and the ones where causes and solutions are hidden. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Authoritarian and the Paranoid Person.

These happenings contribute to increased feelings of weakness and helplessness. As a result they often engage in excessive self-criticism for having brought forth their failings, underestimate their ability to confront them, and often try to play it safe by avoiding future risks or situations that can lead them to fail, lose, or make mistakes.

As a result, they often have difficulty accepting their responsibility for their occurrence, look to blame others when they occur, and have difficulty apologizing for their contribution to failures, losses, and mistakes, particularly those which affect others.

Lower Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Dealing with Significant Life ChangesAired Wednesday, February 24, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on “It's Your Ego—Stupid!”, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to manage significant life changes that we are called upon to deal with. These include developmental changes involving our health, growth, and development. Situational changes involving work, relationships, and finances. Also, societal and technological changes taking place in an ever changing world we are called on to deal with. During the show I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when one is caught up in lower ego vulnerability energy. I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform lower ego vulnerability into a healthier and more balanced place.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego vulnerability, they often miss some of the important changes taking place in their life. Because, the emotional alarm bells aren't going off to tell them that something needs to be done about these changes, involving areas such as health, relationships, work, etc. They only seem to find out later, rather than sooner, that something is going on that requires their attention. Also, they are prone to instigate changes in their life involving jobs, relationships, and living situations (many unexplained or unneeded), in order to alleviate boredom by changing the “scenery” in their life. They don't enjoy consistency, stability, or predictability, because that doesn't give them the emotional rush they seek to alleviate their boredom. Roles they can find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Hedonist, the Sociopath, and the Inattentive Person.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#LowerEgoVulnerability #SignificantLifeChanges #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid

I'll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform higher ego vulnerability into a healthier and more balanced place.Unfortunately, for those with higher ego vulnerability, they often approach significant changes taking place in their life with fear and anxiety. Rather, than welcoming change, they are prone to view it as threatening and respond to it by over-reacting to it or by trying to avoid it or creating distance from it, such as may occur with procrastination or trying to “hide” from it. Consequently, when change is natural, normal, or needed, they often engage in a lot of ego stupidity involving non-reality based, truth disconnected thoughts, feelings, and behaviors involving change that tend to make things worse, not better. This includes a lot of “fear-based” and “anger-based” thoughts that undermine their ability to deal with significant, but normal, changes that take place in all of our lives involving health, work, relationships, and finances. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Stressed-Out Person, the Order Freak, and the Clean Freak.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#HigherEgoVulnerability #SignificantLifeChanges #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid

An approach that often emphasizes listening too much to others about how they should be thinking about and dealing with major changes taking place involving health, relationships, finances, and work, to name but a few. Often, allowing others to think for them, rather than thinking for themselves. An approach that can have them listening too much to the wrong people, about the wrong things, and at the wrong times, when it comes to dealing with change. An approach which can have them listening too little to themselves, when they are the right person they should be listening to.

This can involve thinking about change in old and outdated ways which don't fit with the current circumstances involving themselves and the world. Often, “thinking inside the box” and only in ways familiar to them when encountering significant work, health, financial, and relationship changes taking place in their life. They also tend to avoid people or resources that can give them a broader perspective on these and other changes. Because this would take them out of their “cognitive comfort zone”, in which they only think about things the way they want to think about them. Which leads them into a lot of ego stupidity reflected in the ways they think, feel, and respond to significant changes taking place in their life, rooted in lower ego flexibility energy. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Authoritarian, the Religious Extremist, and the Paranoid.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#LowerEgoFlexibility #SignificantLifeChanges #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid

Unfortunately, for those with lower ego power, there is a weakened sense of being able to manage the changes taking place in their life. Their sense of disempowerment leads them to feel helpless in the face of change. Even though there are options available to them. They often feel paralyzed in the face of change and look to others to manage or confront them for them. Change is something that just happens to them and they often respond to it with passive acceptance rather than with assertiveness and working with it. Ego stupidity is often manifested in the non-reality based and truth disconnected ways they think, feel, and behave when significant change in particular, is taking place in their life. They aren't managing change, change is managing them. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Depressive, the Dependent, and the Masochist.Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you've taught me about what ego's doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.Visit the It's Your Ego-Stupid! show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/its-your-ego-stupid/Connect with Dr. Nick Martin at https://www.egoandspirit.info/#LowerEgoPower #SignificantLifeChanges #EgoStupidity #EgoMedicine #EgoVoice #DrNickMartin #DrNickolasMartin #ItsYourEgoStupid

Often, leading to their trying to control the change rather than working with it. Their efforts to control the change can take the form of aggressive approaches in which they try to stop the change from happening, pretend it's not happening, or try to undo the change. The ego stupidity enters into their life when their approaches are out of alignment with the inevitable and natural process of change that unfolds in everyone's life. Their approach to change can be summed up as controlling change rather than allowing change to control them. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Dictator, the Control Freak, and the Independent.

Lower Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Achieving Your Life's PurposeAired Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM ESTThis week on “It's Your Ego—Stupid!”, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of being able to achieve using our potential and ultimately fulfilling our life's purpose. Each of us has been given many gifts which we can work with in order to fulfill our human and Divine purpose. A human purpose in which we can use our gifts in whatever life's work we choose to undertake. Be it as a teacher, accountant, custodian, athlete, minister—any and all options available to us. A Divine purpose common to all, in which our human purpose provides us with the opportunity to be the Love, Life, and Energy—God Is, within our service to others, and ultimately to ourselves.Unfortunately, for those with lower ego vulnerability, they are often lacking the needed motivation to persevere when the achievement process involves more work than fun and play. They get bored easily and often quit learning, doing, and achieving things sooner before the payoff of fun, success, and fulfilment comes along. This undermines their ability to engage in service involving their potential that goes beyond serving themselves. Ultimately, impacting their ability to experience a sense of meaning and purpose to their lives that goes beyond their next “fun fix.” Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Hedonist and the Inattentive Person. I'll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when caught up in this energy.

Unfortunately, for those with higher ego vulnerability, they are often consumed with anxiety and fear, rather than love, in their efforts to achieve. Their efforts are often rooted in unrecognized issues in accepting the inherent weaknesses, imperfections, and vulnerability of their humanity. Achievement often becomes a means by which to push back on these issues. This is a poor strategy to fulfill one's human and Divine purpose because it's rooted in fear and not love. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken, include the Perfectionist, the Overachiever, and the Stress-Out Person.
