Banish Ego
November 3, 2021
Ego is not just having a big head. Ego is present every time you feel any kind of fear, or hear yourself saying “That’s mine”.

The truth tells us that nothing is ‘mine’ or ‘yours’, we are all trustees, and fear is only present where there is the voice of attachment.

Detach from everything, and you will banish ego, fear will be no more, and only then can true love return.

Never forget
See the beauty that is this day. Feel the miracle that is your life.

Against all probability you are here to experience now. Give to the experience its full due.

Stand in awe of the fact that you can stand in awe. Contemplate the wonder of your ability to wonder.

Listen with care and love to the softest whisper. Gaze intently at the brightest star.

You can choose what to do and then act on your choice. You can question, learn, understand, and explain.

Never let yourself forget how much richness and mystery and possibility there is. Always live to give unique expression and meaning in the best way you know how.

Romans 13:1
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
To Be a Responsible Citizen
Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s order. So live responsibly as a citizen. If you’re irresponsible to the state, then you’re irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible. Duly constituted authorities are only a threat if you’re trying to get by with something. Decent citizens should have nothing to fear.
Do you want to be on good terms with the government? Be a responsible citizen and you’ll get on just fine, the government working to your advantage. But if you’re breaking the rules right and left, watch out. The police aren’t there just to be admired in their uniforms. God also has an interest in keeping order, and he uses them to do it. That’s why you must live responsibly—not just to avoid punishment but also because it’s the right way to live.
