The Inside Story Of The Invisible Playmate

The invisible playmate is a friend of ours. It is a part of our very essence providing guidance and support.

We often ignore this part of ourselves as we are so focused on the practical matters of everyday life. Let’s get to know our invisible playmate a little better so that we can discover many of the gifts being offered of which we may be unaware.

Discovering the Invisible Playmate

“Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention”.

— Deepak Chopra —

So who or what is our invisible playmate? Well, we were in a much better position to answer this query many years ago before we got caught up with all the illusions we experience every day.

Many years of conditioning have created a paradigm that has actually imprisoned us from knowing and experiencing the truth about ourselves on a consistent basis. Of course, we do have moments of clarity but not enough to break through the cloud cover to our true essence.

The invisible playmate that supports us is our intuitive self. It is the aspect of us that is based on intuitive understandings and urges that guide our decisions.

While we use analytical reasoning to do our research and due diligence on a subject, it is our gut feelings that are most reliable. Learning to trust this aspect of ourselves pays huge dividends in terms of our overall joy, happiness, health, and success.

When being guided by the invisible playmate we are spontaneous and develop the ability to make decisions quickly and more accurately. Of course, in the process of learning to listen and trust our newfound friend, we will still have some doubt that will dissipate over time.

We align our values and instincts to make better decisions when we tap into our intuitive selves. This promotes emotional intelligence and fosters creativity.

Letting Go of Our Fake Playmate

“Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!” — Pat Riley —

Now let us speak about our fake playmate who is also invisible. This is our “pretend friend” that makes many promises but never follows through.

This so-called friend has become our default go-to source because of all the false conditioning we have picked up along the way.

We are urged only to trust outside sources of information, and to neglect the true voice within ourselves. When we get intuitive urges to proceed in a certain way or direction, our fake playmate is very quick to discourage us.

So who is this fake playmate of ours anyway? None other than our ego. Our ego-based self cannot answer any questions because it does not know how.

By relying on this false aspect of ourselves, which comprises limiting beliefs and false perceptions, we self-sabotage ourselves in many ways. The only solution is to stop holding on to this false security blanket that only seeks to make us more uncertain and insecure.

The Invisible Playmate — Choosing Who to Follow

“Leadership is not a popularity contest; it’s about leaving your ego at the door. The name of the game is to lead without a title.” — Robin S. Sharma —

We always have a choice. This empowers us to make the corrections needed when led down false pathways guided by our ego and its misinformation.

So let’s choose to let go of our fake playmate so that we are free to embrace that part of ourselves that not only leads us effectively but loves us very much on an unconditional basis. There is no mistaking the voice of the invisible playmate representing our true Self.

Now let’s outline a few practical steps that we can take immediately first to distinguish the authentic voice, and second to learn to recognize and trust this voice consistently. This does require some discipline and dedication when creating a new paradigm by which to live.

Some Practical Steps to Take

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”

— Helen Keller —

The very same power that we are using to create our present challenges can be used to overcome them and set up a pattern of success in all areas of our lives. This is when we understand that challenges in one area of our lives affect other areas as well.

When we break free of our ego-based conditioning we are empowered to embrace our “wholeness” and function optimally in all areas of our lives. There will be challenges, but we will address them instead of avoiding them.

Here are a few ideas to break free:

• Observe the noise in our minds and let it flow without undue concern or focus
• Commit to eliminating our limited perspective and making corrections
• Be willing to get uncomfortable when identifying our limiting beliefs and misperceptions
• Take total responsibility for all aspects of our lives
• Recognize the resistance to doing this as a gift as the resistance exposes our errors
• Take one small step in our desired direction to break the inertia
• Take each next step thereafter as indicated by the previous step
• Begin to recognize the difference between our true invisible playmate, our intuitive Self, and our fake playmate, our ego
• Spend more quiet time allowing our intuitive Self to inform us about what we currently desire to know
• Acknowledge and reward our progress

The Invisible Playmate is Our Friend

“Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know.”

— Anthony J. D’angelo —

The authentic invisible playmate, our intuition, is a gift from the Universe. It is not only our friend but our guide and source of comfort in times of need.

The challenge is learning to distinguish between our ego’s voice and intuition’s. Our intuition does not lie and never lets us down but after many years of listening to the mind chatter of our ego, we find it difficult to trust our intuitive Self.

Every day we must stay alert and observe the chatter in our minds until we develop that trust. Eventually, it will be obvious that all doubt and uncertainty have no substance at all, and we will begin to “remember”.

Down through time, it has often been said that the key to life is to“know thyself”. When we truly take this to heart we will have embraced the invisible playmate that has our best interests in mind.

Let’s remember what it was like when we were a little child and had the trust to explore and expand our horizons. Let’s break the inertia of fear and mediocrity and create the momentum to discover Who we truly Are.

In Peace and Love within the Light,
