A WORK IN PROGRESS

My morning BFO: The reason it is impossible to live in God consciousness is that there is no ego-victory there.

The promise is, if we live in God consciousness, that we will know peace, we will walk free in our own minds, we will show forth the joy of living. All of which are WOW, and I want...but where are the well-earned accolades for being so selfless?

There's our answer to why ego reduction in depth is a never-ending quest...just go ahead and put it on our daily 2-Do list and get grateful. Which sounds fairly oh-well-hell, but it truly is the good news. 

How to set Bill straight or to ensure that Gertrude doesn't get over on me, or that they get theirs according to me...none has a place on our mental 2-Do list any longer. Now, it's how to recognize that Bill has a reasonable point that I can work with, that Gertrude's getting over on me will not define me in any way (nor will it benefit Gertrude), that they'll get theirs same as I'll get mine...and my job is to ensure that mine is of God, not of me. 

It is the daily ego-reduction-in-depth that keeps our focus on God. For none of these exercises is possible if we are relying on the reasoning mind...it will not, it cannot get us there. This may be as close as we are supposed to get to living in God consciousness on this earth.

We are, indeed, a work in progress...if we will let God work us, we'll progress.

Thank You.
