Being aware of that from our eyebrows up alone does nothing to ensure we will not take "this" personally, because "this" is personal and not right and needs to be corrected and by me and now...in short, when self refuses to concede.
We win not by "putting up the good fight," it is by surrendering/accepting that that there is no fight.
No fight, no battle, no war for our goal is not to agree with that which we know to be wrong...our goal is to not disagree with it.
It is disagreement that is the glue that holds ego together...perceives it as our sword and shield as it were. As long as we allow our self to believe that we need a sword and shield, our ego will not only survive but thrive. Our desire for still more spiritual growth will weaken, wilt, wither and appear now to be a personal insult. There...the ego's circle of life.
The secret in turning from our reliance on our reasoning mind to reliance on an invisible Power greater than our self is our spiritual need to cease all fighting...to accept love and laughter as all. Personal insults could grow angel wings and lead a loving chorus in laughter.
A sincere desire to cease fighting any and all is to give over, give up, give in to that Power greater than ourself, God in a word.
We no longer need to pray for, seek to, wish for, want to...God's got it. Trust that and let him.
Thank you.
