V. The “Dynamics” of the Ego, P 18

Journal
That first sentence really grabs my attention. “Every brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you perceive in him.”  When I see a co-worker as being manipulative and mean spirited, it is not because she is, it is because I see her in this way. I perceive it because I want the ego thought system to be true. It is essential that I accept this, and recognize it when it happens if I want my mind to be healed.

What do I do now that I understand what I have been doing? Each time I think of this person, I notice my thoughts and my feelings. If they tell me that I am asking to be convinced that the ego is real and that I want it, then I ask the Holy Spirit to heal my mind. What I really want is sanity. I want to be happy, and to return to the God mind. I have been confused and now I want clarity, so I ask for it.

According to my willingness, this is done for me. Sometimes I have to revisit this idea because, while I want clarity, the ego mind also attracts me. But every time I choose differently, my desire for God grows stronger and my willingness for healing increases. As I do this, I begin to see this one sister of mine, differently. Instead of showing me the ego, she begins to witness to our Divinity. Every time I think of her I either bind myself ever closer to the ego, or I let her strengthen the truth that I am free. It’s up to me.
