The thief waiting by the side of the road in order to steal all our worldly goods? That thief is ego. The worldly goods? Those are self-determined add-ons. They begin with fear...namely, fear of losing all our worldly goods.
I am reminded: My gifts are not of this world...be of good cheer I have overcome this world.
I want to remember that it seems every time I hear of or read about a better or deeper or easier or harder Way, I immediately KNOW I am (and have been all along) doing it wrong, and I need to try this other Way.
What I really need to remember is that that is the thief waiting by the side of the road.
Thank you.
