THE HUMAN EGO

Angels rely upon God. Angels give all credit to God. Angels exist in the awareness that they are not separate from God.

The human ego experiences itself in separation from God. Where the ego takes credit, it must also take blame. Taking credit for the good things in life feels great, while taking blame for the bad things—well, you know how that feels—thus, the poor ego cycles through successions of highs and lows. This is exhausting, depleting, and emotionally painful.

When the ego just gets tired of itself, tired of thinking it ever knew anything, tired of striving and resisting, tired of feeling elated when something good happens and dejected when something bad happens, tired of taking either blame or credit, when the ego gets tired of trying to become more spiritual, tired of trying to change itself, when the ego finally recognizes its own powerlessness—it is ripe for surrender to a Higher Power.

a grandmother story

a grandmother story

      Around twenty-five years ago, there was this very old grandmother who was on her deathbed. Before she died, she called one of her granddaughters to her. She had thirteen grandchildren, but she only called this one. The grandmother had been an ordinary grandmother, or so the granddaughter thought. The grandmother looked into her granddaughter’s cool green eyes with her own eyes, which burned like fire in her shriveled face, and whispered to her, “Little girl, I want to tell you three things.” The granddaughter, who was around twenty at the time, nodded respectfully and leaned forward to listen carefully. This is what the grandmother told her, “All there is, is. The will of God is all there is. You do not exist.”

The angels will leave you these words to ponder, the way the wise grandmother left them for her granddaughter to ponder through the years when the grandmother would no longer be walking upon the face of the earth.

Contentment

"Statistically, the possibility of any of us being here is so small, that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise."

Male and Female Relationships

Dearest Students,
Here is a copy of an interchange I had with a student. I have removed identifying information, as well as asked her permission to share. Perhaps you will find it helpful in your own life and relationships. She was concerned that her husband was not willing to listen to her feelings, or talk about his own. We exchanged a few emails, and here is my last email to her:

Dear Student,
If you are working on yourself in ways that your husband is not, you can’t expect him to be at the same place you are. Keep working on yourself and asking that the light keep growing within you. In a male-female relationship, there are times when all the woman can do is hold the light for the man — which she can do when the man is loving and supportive towards her in other ways (as your husband is) even if they aren’t the ways she wants.
