SearchHow can I overcome my ego when others persecute me?
Question:
I believe that the ego is what keeps us from knowing the truth, which is spirit. But I grew up on the streets, and in this world, people choose to persecute what I believe is the fire of the spirit they see in my eyes. I wish to have eternal peace—if I knew how to live without my ego. Can you help me to overcome my ego or tell me how to overcome my ego when others persecute me?
Answer:
It is the Holy Spirit which flushes up into consciousness anything unlike God's Love, so that the erroneous scraps of ego may be released forever. The ego is the belief that it is possible to be unfairly treated, persecuted, or that it is possible for anything to happen to OneSelf apart from One's Will. God's Will for All is Perfect Happiness and Christ shares God's Will. The ego is the belief that it is possible to have a will apart from God and Christ, a private will that can make and control what God does not even know about. The world reflects the belief that it is possible to be unfairly treated or persecuted, yet Christ Calls the mind to remember the invulnerability of Spirit and our Home in God. True defenselessness is a reflection of certainty of Identity. Christ is not a concept, for Christ is real. Christ as Spirit needs no defense, for Spirit cannot BE attacked. A concept of self-identity as a body seems capable of being attacked, yet the body identity is the illusion to be released.
To believe the impossible is difficult. It is actually easier to forgive the impossible, and this is the Plan of Awakening. The Holy Spirit helps a deceived mind loosen its fixed belief in the reality of the perceived time-space cosmos, and what remains is the Eternal Self which God creates Eternally.
Miracles light the way, for experience must reach awareness which shows that there truly is a replacement for this world. I am joined with you in this experience, for the ego cannot prevail against the truth of it.
As I shared in a recent post, the Holy Spirit is the "how." With willingness to forgive or release illusion, this becomes increasingly apparent. The Spirit within is always the Answer, regardless of the seeming question. Trust in the Holy Spirit and everything will seem helpful to you for undoing the ego, for what a mind sows it reaps—immediately.
I Love You forever and ever,
