The ego is NOT the idea of being an individual self. It is in fact the idea of DENYING your self, attacking your self, destroying yourself, and trying to kill your self.
The ego is the very idea of imprisoning your...
The ego in each of us acts like a gatekeeper, or controller, who decides what will be accepted or rejected. Everything has to go through it and meet its approval. It acts like "the boss" who has authority and who...
Disownership of ones "self" through the use of denial, which erects a block to awareness, and the ensuing "unawareness" that you are the cause of everything you experience, automatically leads you to mis-perceive that the cause of experience has not...
"The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone. 2 Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is separate and has a different set of thoughts that set him off from others. 3 This principle...
The ego does not exist. It cannot be loved or embraced. It cannot be turned into a friend. It cannot wake up or heal or convert into something spiritual. It is nothing but an artificial idea of impossibility, and as...
There is a very fine line between accepting this world and justifying it.
If I am having sickness, or problems, or negative ego thoughts, then something is wrong. It does not matter whether I am accepting these things or not, or...
If I see myself as "being attacked" by someone, I am attacking.
If I see myself as "being victimized", I am victimizing.
If I see myself as afraid, I am threatening.
If I see myself as lacking, I am stealing.
If I see myself...
I notice in particular that pretty much anything medical, anything scientific, or anything involving proof in the world, always entails this belief that something external causes something to happen.
It also accompanies the belief that, because the external causes stuff to...
Everything about the ego appears to present one way that you can win, and one way that you can lose. It always suggests there's some way to get away with something, to escape the effects of something. To be the...
Perhaps one of the key features about the ego which many people do not realize, is that it is constantly attacking itself.
The ego IS the idea of self attack. It is the idea of you, attacking you. It is self...
The ego is simply a state of self-attack, taking place within a mind which has become divided against itself.
In this state, part of the mind has disassociated from the other part. There now appear to be two identities.
One identity is...
Everyone loses when there is separation. It doesn’t matter what side of the fence you fall on. It doesn’t matter which side you take. It doesn’t matter who wins the conflict. Everyone loses. Anyone participating in the ego’s game automatically...
The ego is simply a state of split mindedness in which your will has started to will against itself.
This is the result of you attempting to will against God's will.
It now seems that something is attacking you, and that you...
"The ego is certain that love is dangerous, and this is always its central teaching. 2 It never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that the ego is salvation seems to be intensely engaged in the...
Ego is a device for separation. It is like a stained glass window made of many fragments and different types of filters. Each colored panel obscures and distorts the light behind it and changes it, filtering out what it does...
Only the truth is true. God established the truth. If I want the peace and happiness that God wills for me, I must be willing to let go of what is not true.
I must be willing to accept God’s truth...
In this world, which is 100% the effect of dreaming, there is an ILLUSION of cause and effect.
To recognize how it is an illusion, consider how children play "make-believe" with toys.
1) There is an empty scene.
2) The child grabs his...
There is a sequence of cause and effect, in which a higher level causes a lower level.
God causes the Son of God. The Son of God causes his dream of separation. God is cause, the son is effect. The son...
Only ego can only attack itself. It cannot attack what is not inside of itself.
If you are outside of the ego, you cannot be attacked. You are immortal and invulnerable.
If you identify with ego, labeling your sense of self as...
You as love cannot be attacked by the ego. The ego in others or in the world is utterly incapable of doing ANYTHING to love. Love is completely outside of the entire realm of the ego’s dream. All ego identities...
