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

There is a sugestion in AA.
"Let go let God"
Millions of lives have been changed from abject misery of addiction to being useful members of the community by following this advice.

When we let go of personal will ie ego even to a small degree then the miraculous begins to happen.

Think of what will happen when belief in the ego is let go of completely.

Could it be that God will create through us, unimpeded by our personal desire a heaven here on earth?

Hawkins says that the major the deterrent to spiritual progress is the belief in "causality"
A something causing a that (duality).
He further explains that Creation is on going with God manifesting through the potential inherent in human beings moment by moment. We are part of that creation. In that respect we are made in the image of God. God given abilities are being used by God when we dont resist His will. The moment authorship is claimed, duality is there and force is needed to continue creating the egos wants and desires. The Power of God is no longer in evidence, so the created product is not life supporting.
