Stepping Back from Ego Chatter

No call to God can be unheard nor left Unanswered. And of this I can be sure; His answer is the one I really want.

You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You choose that it be mine. Let me remember all I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering. But let me not forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 358, W-pII.358. See also ACIM Lesson 358 Insights.)

We have two voices in our mind: One speaks for the ego, the other speaks for God. In every moment we choose which voice to listen to. The ego always speaks first to get our attention with its tempting appeals for judgment and guilt. Our well developed habit to listen to the ego’s constant judgmental chatter drowns out the quiet calm of God’s Voice, but does not eliminate It.

This ACIM lesson offers us a prayer to help us redirect our attention to what we really want. We want to experience the peace of God. We want to remember our safety in His Love. For this to happen, we need to remember that we do not know what anything means. But we have God’s Voice to teach us God’s meaning, which is the meaning of our true Self. His Voice is the Voice of our Self, our true Identity.

Today we choose to step back from the ego’s chatter, for we would remember our true Self.
