Default Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?

Nice to see you here Illuminate.
Some great inspiring videos about these days.
I really believe that we are on the verge of amazing things just a question of being present in the moment and being kind to all life including our own and letting it happen.

Oh a thought.
One time I was mulling over a "problem" and what would I do. Great insecurity and fear of the future I just didnt know what to do. One of my friends said. "Do you think God dosent know what you are going to do next?" "Why not ask Him?"

There is enormous depth in that statement.
I was running programmed at that time virtually everyone else had a fair idea of what I would do given my past history, I was in avoidance of what is my true nature and the freedom therein.

Now I just let go of the "problem" (surrender to what is) and most times it seems to come right without my interference.

"God grant me the serentity to ccept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I can
Wisdom to know the difference."

While I am reminiscing.

As a child I spent a fair amount of time in hospital.
This time I had just come out of hospital after bursting my spleen in a sledging accident, I was eleven at the time.
I was having a good old moan to my Dad. oh woe is me!!! laughing.

He was silent for a moment or two then said.
"Reflect not upon your past misfortunes of which you have had a few but reflect upon your present blessings of which there are many."

With love
Chris
