Where Are Ego Problems Solved?

“Try to go beyond this addiction with like and dislike, give it over to the Holy Spirit, and ask more, What would you have me say? What would you have me do? Get into the habit of asking, not to make it obsessive, but just get into the habit of leaning into that Presence. And letting that Presence just extend through you very, very naturally. Practice it over and over and over. So this is what we want to do with the session this afternoon. We want to take that experience of opening to be shown that the past and the future are not worth obsessing about, not worth putting your attention in. Opening to guidance is worth putting your attention in. That guidance will still be hypothetical. There will still be instructions: go here, go there, do this, do that. You know, that still is hypothetical, but it’s taking you in the right direction.

And above all, it’s undoing this fixed belief that there’s an actual split in perception, in the world of form, when the split is not in the world of form. The split is in consciousness. The split is in the mind. And the most basic split, I’m talking about there, is the belief that your identity is you’re a perceiver, which is what the body or person is, and that there’s a perceptual world outside that’s being perceived by the five senses, that there’s an objective world outside of this perceiver. Perceived, perceiver. Observed, observer. That’s like the basic fundamental error; is that the split is in the form. And it’s not so. Everything, as we said, is all mind. Everything is all mind. And you practice this one encounter at a time, one opportunity at a time. You practice letting go of the investment, that there’s an external world that’s impacting on you.”
