Give Up Egoic Thoughts

Dear Everyone,

I am seeing that I still have many fears that need to be given to H. Spirit. I ask J. for help in strengthening my willingness to let go of all
that is not helpful to me, even when I do not know it!   I notice how rigid the ego is in thinking of unworthiness…. the only “action” to take is to                                           remember that the ego (and its thoughts) are not real and do not mean anything. 
I was reminded of Donna Marie Carey’s singing: ”  .....Bits and pieces are falling away ... Love will take away the fears in me…..Now, there’s nothing that I need to do…. But give up what I think is true.”

I had a realization the other night, that whatever the ego says—- it is not true. The egoic thoughts are meaningless, they are based on nothing.  The ego is no thing, it is no where. It is an illusion, a toy that I made up and then mistook for reality. Yes, it can appear very frightening, or strong or loathsome. It can appear as many things, because it does not know what it is. It changes constantly so that it (it thinks) cannot be ‘caught’ or identified. Yet I am learning that it is very simple to let go of what the ego “thinks.”

It is just a matter of my choice. I choose not to adhere to the egoic words that jump about my mind. I choose to see the meaninglessness in such words. When I notice a thought of unworthiness, I stop dragging it around with me all day, I give it up to H. Spirit. When I experience a thought of lack or sacrifice, I give it over to H. Spirit. I can tell when I have been successful in letting it go, for I have a feeling of peace, a sense of freeness of my being. Sometimes I even feel the warmth of Holy Spirit’s Love.
I learn to accept this as true.  And so it is.  T.Y.V.M.
