The ego is a slippery thing. I think that in many cases, it’s both consciously repressed, (because we like to fool ourselves into being better than we are), or unconsciously. In any case, it keeps us from properly receiving the Light. Is it a good prayer to ask the Creator to reveal our deficiency or should we just assume the ego is there and work on strengthening our intentions toward bestowal?
Good morning, This morning I read a passage from Attaining the Worlds Beyond pp 152. It reads: ” ” If human beings do not have the desire to regain the power to return to rule their own desires, then they have attained true love of the Creator, rather than a mere subordination to Him.” If I were to replace the word desire with ego in the sentence would it mean the same thing or was the word desire used intentionally? I am a little confused with what this passage is telling me. I have to desire the change/correction in me or nothing happens so isn’t that a form of control?
