EVIL...EGO IN A PRETTY DISGUISE

A dream is about to come true for me: I plan to visit friends in Santa Fe over Thanksgiving. I have set no personal goals for my Santa Fe holiday...I trust the Father within knows my needs.

After I first read my Father knows my needs, I studied it, I tested it...I came to experience it! I now live in the comfort of trust...with a few side trips when ego has its say. That's when love and laughter, mumbling I'm only human, earn their keep.

We grow into trust from our unpolished, unprepared, unlearned self which gets no kudos...yet we are peaced. There. Our real need is nonresistance which brings not praise, but a new kind of  peace.

Unselfed kudos are lovely but, left unaware, they can be the Venus flytrap for ego. Ego is always in thrall to its true love, being envied by others, which is also the slippery slope to justified resentment. Oh wait...there is no unjustified resentment, is there. That's like justified anger...what, I wonder, does unjustified anger feel like?

Resist not evil. (Evil, ego all prettied-up to go dancin'.) 

Thank you.
