You do not realize how much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as sources of ego support.

As a result, they witness to the ego in your perception, and seem to provide reasons for not letting it go.

ACIM T-15.II.4:1-2

You do not realize how much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your perception, and seem to provide reasons for not letting it go.

It is important to recognize mental games played daily and the harm they cause others and the self.  Whether it is a gnawing worry, a bad day, exhaustion, or repressed guilt, it doesn’t take much to trigger an attack on anything or anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time, the handiest scapegoat.

This behavior is driven by an unconscious desire to be special, seeking attention, and/or self-punishment. It doesn’t matter whether it is good or bad, as long as attention is on ego.  

Why is it so difficult to take ownership for bad behavior?

The problem is never outside the mind, it is within.  

By understanding that by choosing to attack another; we willingly jeopardize any likelihood of a harmonious life.

When a disparaged mind finally chooses to submit to divine guidance, layers of guilt are removed, no longer supporting ego’s weaknesses.

By choosing love and forgiveness, life dramatically changes in a holy instant.

 “How long is an instant?

As long as it takes to re-establish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect love for everyone, for God, and for yourself.

As long as it takes to remember immortality and your immortal creations,(others in your life) who share it with you. 

As Long as it takes to exchange hell for Heaven.

Long enough to transcend all of the ego’s making and ascend unto your Father.” (I.14:1-5)

“In the holy instant, in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you will remember God.

For remembering Him is to remember freedom.” ( I.10:7-8)

Lovely Souls;

Choose - Freedom!
