No Longer Falling for the Ego’s Story

This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.

And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. ²If I need a thought, that will He also give. ³And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. ⁴He is in charge by my request. ⁵And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-361-365. See also ACIM Lesson 365 Insights.)

The ego is a fantasy of a “life” experience of what it would be like if we weren’t God’s Son as God created Him. It seems to offer specialness, a unique identity, with benefits that are enticing. We’ve fallen for the story and identified with its main character. The script is subtle and does not show openly that all the other characters in the script are projections of the main character.

The story is filled with adventure, some frightening, some rewarding. But none of it is real. We have fallen for this story and lost our way. Fortunately we have been given the Holy Spirit to guide us out of the story.

He helps us forgive ourselves for falling for the story. He shows us the Light that reveals the truth beyond the story.  It reveals the Love that embraces us all as one with our Creator. We no longer fall for the story. We are ready to wake up.
