VII. The Two Evaluations, P 8
8 Whenever you question your value, say:
God Himself is incomplete without me.
Remember this when the ego speaks, and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want in these terms, and accept nothing that you would not offer to God as wholly fitting for Him. You do not want anything else. Return your part to Him, and He will give you all of Himself in exchange for the return of what belongs to Him and renders Him complete.

How do I stop hearing the ego voice? I remember that God Himself is incomplete without me. What could the ego say that could matter to me, that could mean anything? The ego is busy telling me how separate and alone I am, and thinking of ways to make that better. Invite folks over, finagle an invitation to a party or out to eat, manipulate folks into being with me. But the problem is made up as are the ineffective solutions. How could I be alone when I am one with all of creation and with the Creator of all?
The ego tries to convince me that I am guilty and brings up bad behavior from the past and possible sins of the future. Then it tries to fix it all, by rewriting the past in my mind, by making it someone else’s fault, by planning carefully, thinking ahead what I will say or do so I look innocent. But again, the problem is not real and needs no solution. I am innocent because that is how God created me. Nothing in this illusion can alter that fact. As I am innocent so is everyone else.
The ego points out all I lack and all I have lost. It warns me of losses to come. It offers me all sorts of plans to compensate for losses and to ward off future loss. But how can the Son of God lack anything? How can he lose anything? Let me remember always to turn away from these foolish thoughts of loss, lack, guilt, loneliness and all the other “gifts” of the ego. I would bring nothing to myself that I would not share with God.
