If we do not grow spiritually, accepting ego reduction in-depth, i.e., ego deflation...because if we're doing it right, that's our reward...then ego-victory thinking will be our guide, ever ready to challenge.
It's a hard lesson learning that to outwardly win an ego challenge is to inwardly lose a step in spiritual growth.
It is a slow process, this coming to realize that our need is to live by a higher standard than is accessible to reason...open to God and grace and inner growth. No longer living first for our own benefit...after all, God has our back...we are now living for the benefit of others.
We sense God's hand is in it even as it outwardly shows without our conscious awareness. That is to live the peace that passes understanding.
Thank you.
