Here's a ... strange and unexpected post that kind of just channeled out of me..... hmmmm...
Causing without receptivity to love has been associated with "male".
Receptivity without the power to cause has been associated with "female".
The male "egocentric" causality and forcefulness...
To ego, "having a self" seems to be what it's all about. This suggestion that ego is a "self you made" or some kind of a thing.
But this is actually completely backwards.
The ego is actually the idea of the END...
It's very easy to believe that we are here in the dream, as a body, as an ego, trying to get to Heaven, which is far off in the distance, and we seem not to be there yet.
But this is...
Cutting your Self off from God is separation.
Cutting yourself off from God means that now your Self is ISOLATED or disconnected from God.
It does not mean that you have no self or that you do not exist.
Nor does it mean...
There is part of you which is already in heaven with God. It never left.
That means your spirit-self is already awake and one with God.
Jesus says that like you, He has everything that God gave Him. The only difference between...
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...
God's Son is huge. Infinite, unlimited, eternal, omnipresent. He is everywhere at all times and beyond. There is no edge to His being and no limits to His Self.
Think of the Son of God like a huge canvas or giant...
Your sense of who you are depends entirely on the extent of your awareness. Awareness is your IDENTITY.
How much of your mind you are aware OF, determines the boundaries of your sense of Self.
If you have a lot of repression...
Your main problem is one of identity. You've attempted to change your identity from Christ, to take on a new identity as an ego.
Your sense of your "Self" has become associated with, attached to, and confused with, an alternative model...
Independence can seem like a good thing. It seems to in some way be better than dependency on others, or codependency. It seems to represent being responsible for ones own life, and having the freedom to choose anything.
The ego has...
Who am I?
What you are, is immortal spirit. You are capable of experiencing, because you have awareness, and you perceive reality. You share the Will of God.
The ego is an illusion. It is not capable of experiencing, it has no...
In your attempt to move away from God, you are basically trying to disown yourself.
You do this by denying who you are, covering up awareness of who you are, and displacing your sense of self onto anything that you perceive...
In your whole mind, there is a split mind. It's kind of an artificial mind. It's made of illusions. It's a mental construct which blocks awareness by fooling you into thinking it is not all the same identity.
This split mind...
There is the me that seems to be 'in here' in the body, who I believe is innocent and did not ask for this sorry treatment.
Then there is the me that seems to be 'out there' which somehow is in...
If God created you perfect, and you cannot change because you are permanent, then what the heck are you doing trying to change yourself?
Ultimately, being able to accept the truth about you is all that is asked of you. And...
I want to tell you about a way in which I used my persona to destroy myself, and how I am learning to overcome it. This was actually a very very painful long-term lesson, so it is hard to write...
Most people in this world are trying to find the Self that they think they lost.
They're trying to find the Love (God) that they think they are separate from.
They are looking everywhere that this Self/Love/God does not exist, outside of...
The really big problem we have isn't so much to do with the characteristics of the ego. The big problem that we've confused who we are with it. Our sense of 'self' has become caught up in it. Our identity...
One of the ways the ego deceives you is to make it seem like you are not yourself. It wants to suggest that something has changed about you, since God created you whole, and that you are now missing something.
The...
Within you there is a false self, which you think is your real self, which is built from all kinds of ego stuff.
This false self is made from guilt and fear and sin and hate and darkness and despair and...
