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."

-Lewis Thomas (1913-1993), American physician and poet. The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher On Probability and Possibility, copyright 1978, Penguin.

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.

FREE CONFERENCE CALL RECORDING - HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS

Hi Everyone, The first Free Conference Call has been completed and you may listen to part of that call now. I did not record the entire discussion this time. Maybe next time. We'll see. If you have a partner, you may find it helpful to listen to this recorded message together. If you are with other students, you might want to listen together and use it as a basis for discussion.

Here are the instructions for listening to the recorded message: FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE:


Dial:
1 209-255-1099
Enter Access Code: 521157# 

When prompted, enter the number: 3

Let me know if you have any problems.

FREE CONFERENCE CALL FOR REGISTERED STUDENTS

Join like-minded individuals seeking to expand their spiritual vision and know Truth.

Dearest Students,

At last I am able to begin Free Conference Calls for Students. The first call will be this Saturday morning at 8:00 Pacific Coast time. This will be 5:00 in the evening for those of you living in Switzerland or Germany, and 11:00 a.m. for the East Coast. For other countries and states, please check your time.

The topic is one that is important to everyone. HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS. I will begin by reading a short excerpt from my (unpublished) book, The Clear and Simple Way.

You are welcome to share and partcipate with questions and comments, or just listen. If you are a student with a partner, your partner may participate free also. I look forward to our First Free Conference Call for Currently Registered Students in The Clear and Simple Way School.

http://www.theclearandsimpleway.com/

Here is how the conference call works.

1. Call this number: 1 209 255 1000
    This call is free in the United States. If you are calling from another country, you must dial the country code. You may incur charges for calling, depending upon where you live.

2.  You will hear a recording that will prompt you to dial this access number:  521157#
    You must dial # after the number. In the US this is called the ‘pound sign’”
        Once connected to the free conference call, you will be able to talk and listen.

3.  Here is an important instruction. When you are only listening, you MUST MUTE your phone by Pushing star * and then the number 6
          * 6    for Mute/Unmute - caller controlled muting


Otherwise, there will be too much background noise, and no one will be able to hear. You will ALSO push *6 when you want to UNMUTE your call - so that you can speak and be heard by everyone.

I will also record the entire call, so you can call and listen to it at another time, if you missed it, or if you just want to listen again.

For questions, please feel free to contact me by email or phone: 323-557-8934





 Thanks! Looking forward to talking with you. Much love!

Looking forward to playing my guitar and singing some songs at Indira's West Coast Retreat. And meeting some of you for the first time. Wish I could be in Europe too. Maybe one day. For now, hope to see you in Altadena this weekend.

And I will show you that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future. And I will show you that whatever happens to anybody, it may be turned to beautiful results.

Dear Teacher ,
thank you for this beautiful daily message.It gives me Hope, makes me smile and so happy to be a part of this journey.

Hello from California

After what seems like a long time, I am back in California. The East Coast Retreat was great. Here I will share with you some comments received from participants, and some comments from me!

Happy Travels

Indira, I know you are flying today, Indira. Happy travels and safe landing. I look forward to reading my new lesson when it arrives, if you have time to send it before you leave. Otherwise, I understand. The last lesson was just great. I have been working on detaching from my life. For newer students, you have great lessons waiting for you in the future that will be the present by the time you get there (as our teacher says). And also happy travels to Ursula. Also, hope your computer is easily repaired teacher, so we can go back to email messages too. Those are the gems that make my day.

Happy 4th of July Everyone, wherever you live, may you be free...

Thanks for your new posts and pictures that make our classroom so bright and colorful, Indira. I am grateful for the angels lessons that support me each day, the angel messages, and this classroom. I haven't written in awhile, but I visit often. Monika's post today made me want to write something, to express support for Sebastian, and to express gratitude that this classroom is always open, always here present. Happy 4th of July everyone.
