Once gaining insight into the structure of one’s ego (i.e., using methods such as taking the Ego Personality Test [EPT], etc.), the next step is to take targeted action that is pointedly not in line with ego ideals and is in line with higher consciousness ideals.
An example of a conscious action that is: a) pointedly not in line with an ego ideal, and b) is in line with a higher consciousness ideal, is: donating money anonymously to work against the ego ideal of “being a wealthy person, and towards the higher consciousness ideal of being a mindful steward of resources.
A Conscious Action Plan (CAP) is a plan that is created based on the scores of one’s Ego Personality Test (EPT) that provides a roadmap for taking action that is pointedly not in line with one’s ego ideals, and is in line with higher consciousness ideals.
As one progresses along the path of surrendering ego and living life in accordance with higher consciousness ideals, the CAP gets updated over time.
See below for an example!

Taking conscious action helps us to surrender our egoic ideals. This has the effect of creating a great sense of internal freedom, and allows us to live a peaceful life rooted in loving awareness.
Because our egoic structures are rooted in fear (e.g., “I fear I would be a worthless person if I were not wealthy”), we often feel intense fears when we start taking conscious action that is pointedly not in line with an egoic ideal. As such, it can be helpful to have both a guide and a spiritual / self-growth focused community to help us take conscious action.
It can also be helpful to develop a Conscious Action Plan (CAP).
