Love Created Me Like Itself

by Rev. Lee Catalano, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

“Arrogance makes an image of yourself that is not real.” (W-186)

The narcissistic ego identity is not the truth of anyone. We must first see how we have functioned in the world before we can let it go.

As a child, we came into the world ego-identified, looking to be unfairly treated. The ego, which is at war with God, created this whole entire physical world in order to play out that war. It’s all unconscious, but if you draw back and look, you can see it is true.

As we begin to see that something other than perfect Love is living out its need for suffering through us, we slowly awaken.

This ego mind does not just pack its bags and leave, oh no! The more you see it in yourself and others the more vicious it gets. It so wants to throw you off track it will throw every insult, betrayal, addiction and down-right pure evil it can lob at you.

Jesus Christ himself and every single one who had their awakening to the Peace of God had to go through the fire of temptation along the way.

It’s a mind training to be willing and perceive lilies where we once were at war with thorns. We believed our brother was handing us thorns, when in reality there are only lilies of Love, perfect Love. Physical identity gives thorns, the truth of perfect Love, which is our spiritual identity only offers lilies.Cat
