Ego says, “You need me!”

Are you ready to be ego-free?  It is possible.  You must look within, but the ego will tell you this is a very bad idea 🙂 dont look under the bed

Ego says, “You need me!  How will you function without me?  Who will you be without me?  Without me, you will lose your loved ones, your income, your pleasures, life itself!”   Are you still falling for that? 

Let’s get something straight:

miracle sparklesYou are Life.  You are Love.  You are Innocence.  You are Infinite.  You are Timeless.  In this recognition, all worldly problems recede and are resolved in the brief interval you remain in the body to Shine on your brothers and accept the reflection beamed back to you.  This is your function as the light of the world. (W-61, W-62, W-65 and countless more references throughout the Course.)

Jesus tells us in an early chapter of A Course in Miracles, “Because I am always with you, you are the way, the truth and the life.  You did not make this power, any more than I did.”  Take this statement to heart!  Trust …

He goes on to say that the memory of God is within us and, “It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality.”  Yes, you are God’s Completion.  Do not accept the predictable ego tirade about how you are not worthy or capable or maybe someday after countless lifetimes but not now.

Jesus comforts us that we do not have to repeat his extreme experience of crucifixion saying, “The Holy Spirit is glad whenJesus Hand you can learn from mine, and be reawakened by them.”  This is bad news for the ego, which does crucify you every single day that you allow it — the crucifixion looks different in the 21st century, but all torment boils down to psychological torment.

Though the body of Jesus was on the cross, Jesus’ God-Mind was not.  You, too, live within the Mind of God.  It is insanity to think you don’t; the ego self-concept is imagined with the Mind of God so “you” can’t somehow exist outside of God-Mind.  Just pay attention to what you think and what your senses show you.  As you develop personal self-awareness, little by little you stop taking yourself personally.  Eventually, you stop taking others personally.  Finally, self-awareness leads to Self-awareness.

In the ACIM Psychotherapy supplement, Jesus asks, “And what more transcendent aim can there be than to recall the way, the truth and the life, and to remember God?”  We could say “the way” is willingness to tune in to the Holy Spirit, your Inner Teacher.  We could say “the truth” is the empowerment that arises when communication with your Inner Teacher is established.  We could say “the life” is the realization that you are Bodiless, Identity-less Being — Unified, Un-conceptual, Image-less, Non-sensory.  Perception and projection completely undone reveals That Which You Are.
