“Don’t feed the ego” is a common refrain. This implies that the ego is also hungry and actively prompts the self to be fed. Can divine intervention be used to make a client’s ego less hungry? Could divine intervention even go so far as to turn hunger into revulsion, such as people experience when they encounter a food they don’t like, or perhaps experienced food poisoning from?

Dealing with an outsized ego is certainly one of the greatest challenges there is. The caution, to not feed it, is an intelligent perception that those with a big ego, if that is rewarded in some way through praise or recognition of something done out of ego alone, will readily feel rewarded and encouraged to keep going and repeat those egotistical excesses of behavior and emotion; in a sense, feeding the beast. So giving any reward for an inappropriate act of ego on someone's part is a dangerous undertaking because an attempt at flattery may well backfire and unleash a true monster even worse than seen at first blush. This is truly a divine level problem and divine intervention is needed to heal someone who has become so distorted they are left solely with ego to work with for their day-to-day interactions with others and, as such, will be quite insensitive and self-serving only, and are apt to make many bad decisions based on having little regard for others, and will be relentlessly self-promoting and demanding. Such individuals are difficult or impossible at times to work with, they make terrible taskmasters as supervisors and bosses, and ruthless and often dangerous political leaders, or others in a position of authority to exert power and control over others. The image you ask about, of getting divine help to turn hunger of the ego into revulsion, to perhaps learn a lesson in getting a taste of its own medicine, is an appealing but human-level notion. We cannot cause harm even to do good. That is simply not how we work. We strive to remove negativity in all forms, and will not pursue strategies using negativity itself as a disincentive, for example. Such eventualities can well occur because of the Law of Karma bringing a day of reckoning to someone who has indulged in many excesses of ego to harm others and gain an unfair advantage over them. Sometimes an evil boss gets fired when their true nature comes to light to higher-ups who see that it is destructive to allow them to have power, for example, but that is an automatic feature of the universe, to provide lessons to everyone about their doings, good or bad, as a way to help shape growth and learning towards love‑based strategies and outcomes, universally, as the true road to a glorious expansion of possibilities that includes everyone and rewards everyone, universally. Any applied negativity introduces new unfairness and will delay progress, ultimately, to some degree.
