the ego


The ACIM book gives it's perspective on the ego. To me it says that the ego is created by each of us, based on the belief that we are separate from God and the world. It goes on to say that this belief is an error, and the ego we create is based on that error.

What we create, we love, so we love the ego. We can't not love what we create, because of the way we were created by God. God loves us because he created us, and that is unchangeable. But errors can be changed because they are not real. God has saved us from our own errors, but we have to ask for it. We have to want God's peace.

We can not fight the ego because fighting it makes it stronger in us. We have to invite the holy spirit in us to show us another way to see the world that is really part of us. Seeing the other way is a healing miracle.
