Ego-deflation-in-depth. Ah, there it is: Our tallest mountain to climb, our deepest well to dig. Clearly, we're going to need other means than our ever ready self-determined objectives to even get started on our climbing dig.
We know that resistance as an aid is an illusion since it often takes form in hate, and it's well known (albeit rarely heeded) that hate begets hate. Hate is an imaginary protector; just knowing we'd best not use it, however, does not dispel it from our mind's arsenal.
Since hate is not available, we realize that anger probably isn't either. Our senses get a whiff, a bare glimpse, of love. A love that we know naught of. Ego, our very own ego, requires love. An unselfed love that we suspect is already within us...but how can that be when we've never heard of such a thing? Love our enemy is one impossible, but our ego???
Picture ego as a little child. A child whose only hope is to please us. Doesn't it follow that he naturally will run amok? Often.
Isn't that a clue that she is not our best go-to aid?
In that blinding flash of the obvious is born our new Forever Protector, spiritual principles. We recall that spiritual principles can solve all of our problems. And there it is, our reason to make a U-bie heading back to our Father within...the source of our spiritual principles.
It is from our Father within that unselfed love flows...I Am unselfed love. And there's our ego-deflation-in-depth.
Thank you.
