"Mind has a very powerful ability to put awareness into a trance. Very quickly, we find ourselves lost in that trance. This trance is precisely what we've been calling 'egoic consciousness' - the creation of our belief in who we are, which forms the very structure of ego. Ego is nothing more than the beliefs, ideas, and images we have about ourselves-and so it is actually something completely imaginary." (falling into Grace, p. 53)
How often do we fall into the trance of believing what the mind/ego says about ourselves, others and life?
How often do we go to what Michael Singer termed the 'neurotic roommate' for advice and guidance?
We are so much more than this egoic self.
I choose to no longer live in a trance.
Instead of listening to ego, I will sit in the silence and listen to God.
I will pray for divine guidance.
I will walk beyond my comfort zones in order to dismantle this false identity that I have created.
I will let go of trying to control my life and will deal with whatever is right in front of me.
I will trust life to show me exactly what I need to know.
I will ask "Who am I?" again and again.
I will forgive myself and others 70 times 7.
I will express gratitude.
