Me and the others
Because you asked me to write in English as well, here I go.
Today, I want to talk to you about the ego again, and I will refer to a book I was reading a while ago and that I have started reading again this year. The book is A Course in Miracles. This is a book that reaches you when you are ready for it. It was written by a person who practically wrote it in one long stretch, simply letting herself go with what the Holy Spirit was guiding her to write. It has three parts, and I was about 30% into the first part when I created my Telegram group and started talking about how to free our minds.
I honestly don’t remember why I stopped reading it. I guess it wasn’t my time to finish it then. I barely remember that, at some point, I started to feel fear while reading it. That was nothing more than my ego trying to survive. Let me delve into that.
Our phony, arrogant, and narcissistic ego is very afraid. It is afraid because it knows that if you recognize the truth of who you are, it will cease to exist. It believes it created itself and that it needs to be self-sufficient and independent—a super ego!
Our mind created our ego. When the "separation" from God occurred (incarnation), our mind became very confused and tried to make sense of this 3D world we live in. We don’t remember who we truly are. That is when the ego appeared, presenting us with a false perception of who we are. It also creates an ego for everyone else we meet in our journey through life. It’s a way to reinforce the belief that if others have egos, then my ego must be real too. All it can do is identify with other egos and try to either unite with them or attack them, attempting to prove its strength. It is not free.
That made me reflect on some people we encounter who seem overly aggressive or dependent on others. We might think they are deeply identified with their egos, genuinely believing that everything they are is their ego. Similarly, if we are constantly focused on others—wondering why they act a certain way—we are directing all our energy outward, looking for other egos.
Today in the office, I was dealing with some rumors circulating in my area—rumors and assumptions. I honestly told one of my team members: "I never pay attention to anything that wasn’t clearly said to me." I mean, I don’t make assumptions or overthink what someone might have tried to say. If it wasn’t direct and clear, I don’t take it seriously and don’t dwell on it. That’s my way of staying focused and not wasting energy on smoke and mirrors. I avoid getting trapped by perceptions and what my ego would like me to think.
If, at any point in your life, you feel that someone has hurt you, I want to tell you that it’s not possible. Your true essence, your spirit, is perfect and cannot be altered in any way. You are always safe in God. Believe it and learn to recognize when your ego is trying to remain relevant when, in reality, it is not.
