Our egos
believe that we must constantly be in a state of action or doing.
The ego thrives on staying busy with such chores as thinking,
worrying, having conversations with itself, projecting, fantasizing,
and a million or so other useless thoughts. Its whole existence
is about efforting and urgency.
Efforting accomplishes ego's agenda of staying busy so that it
maintains its lofty position as supreme ruler of our lives. The
ego believes that through constant effort we can achieve our
goals. Then it creates new ones that we effort toward. This incessant
drive to accomplish through the use of effort is very stressful
and energy depleting to the human body. Through the use of effort,
the ego maintains its dominance in the affairs of humanity.
This continual struggle strengthens the ego and feeds its need
to feel separate and isolated. As we endeavor to reach our goals,
the ego will sabotage our progress. To the ego it doesn't matter
if we succeed or fail because it will use either to maintain
itself.
As we Awaken and grow in God Consciousness,
we realize that there is another way to live. We learn how to
release efforting by coming into alignment
with All That Is,
God which we are. We learn that Being,
not Doing, is the natural state of affairs in the universe. Manifestation
then becomes a matter of Being in harmony with life. Not against
it, as the ego would have us believe. Struggle and efforting
give way to acceptance and allowance. |
