News we know well yet hear each time as if for the first time: Ego deflation in depth is not a one-shot deal.
The goal of ego deflation in depth is akin to all goals...they focus us on other than God. And no matter how good, true and spiritual they sound, they head our search away from God toward our self-determined objective.
We learn and learn and learn still...yet... again: To seek is a self-determined objective, not of God. Naming it "seeking God" does not elevate it. Quit seeking...we have God. Obviously, we need turn toward a new direction.
Seek not...praise. Give thanks. Pray thank you.
We recall that love is the solution, no matter the problem. So, bless our ego. With praise, it serves us well...it is the alarm that awakens us when we're sounding too good and heading in the wrong direction.
The less we seek, the more peace we have, as in, The Lord is my Shepherd...I shall not want. I shall not want...I seek not...I have enough...I shall never not have enough. Ah, peace.
Thank you.
