The War Is Over if We Want It Over

by Rev. Lee Catalano, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The ego is at war with its God and sees that war on every face with every encounter. It compares looks, intelligence level, homes, possessions, is easily offended, etc.

The ego projected this entire cosmos in order that it may convince the Son of God he is a body and therefore at war with everyone and everything.

A body lives by the scarcity principle Jesus speaks of in the Course. We (the ego) experience ourselves lacking love, respect, companionship, abundance, happiness and the like. This is the result of not knowing who and what we are — Spirit.

The ego is cunning and baffling, and has us convinced that IT is us. In order to be free, we need to begin the purification of our hidden hate and be willing to become humble in the face of hate. No one really hates anyone here, we are hypnotized by the ego’s war with God. When we really and truly understand and believe this, we are then able to meet hatred with Love.

Non-reaction to this world of egoic hate, and meeting hatred with Love is the highest spiritual attainment. St. John the Divine reached His enlightenment through the simple, yet direct practice of “Christ, Christ” with every encounter. It didn’t just come to Him and neither did the Christ mind just “happen” to Jesus. Jesus teaches us in the Course that he LEARNED to see the face of Christ upon His brothers.

I love you, I see you, I release you, I bless you, I thank you. Find out what blessing is your cloak of Love. Ask the Holy Spirit within you what blessing will awaken you to the divinity of your Self. Carry that blessing in your pocket and never let it out of sight (mind).

We are walking one another home to Divine Love. We are the Christ. There is nothing else here.
