Ego plays

Anything that will make us more aware of how the ego plays with us and of how our mind works in the service of

dis-ease will lead to recovery and healing.  You can, of course, choose to keep your dis-ease for the rest of your

life and not become fully conscious.   The ego will be perfectly happy for you to give up your substance addictions and

move on to more subtle addictions.  One, that you can see in "holy people" and parents and children is, Being-the-one-

who-knows; or being-the-best, or having the best or being superior or being smarter or whatever your heart desires, the ego

can use for addiction.  Don't be fooled into thinking addictions are just substances    .Addictions are an ego problem.

 

All of us have seen religious addiction, money addiction,  sex addiction, power addiction, cleanliness addiction. They are

as serious as substance addictions.   So what is real healing?  None of the above.  Not a good answer.  To be fully conscious is to be aware that we are the light, that we are all connected as one, that only our minds tell us we are

separate, that to harm others is to harm yourself, to know that there is abundance and plenty for all, that a state of love,

kindness, and humility is a way of seeing and experiencing the world, not just for oneself, not just for others, but for all.

How do you treat the Commons? The answer will tell much about yourself.

 

Sometimes we think a person is the one we love, not realizing that the love is inside us and the other person may open

your heart to love, but it is your heart that is open and with love and it is within your power to open your heart for all.

The other person is not cause.   Without ego to seduce us into addictions (add a voice) we can live each moment in the presense of love for ourselves and others.  

 

Less is more.
