Call not upon the ego for anything

Whenever we listen to the voice of our ego, we will be led astray. How do we know that we’ve chosen this guide? If we feel any sense of discomfort, stress, fear, pain, annoyance, guilt, shame, or sadness - then we know.The purpose of the ego is to convince us that we are bodies, that we can suffer, and that the world (and other people) are the source of our pains and joys. And every grievance we hold reinforces this belief.But there is a way out. A Course in Miracles teaches us: “Call not upon the ego for anything; it is only this that you need do.”That’s it. Simply choose against the ego. And this isn’t a function of faith. We can try this in our daily lives and see how well this works. Happiness awaits but our choice.Support the show
