I always love reading heaven letters, some are funny and some are just straight to the point but one thing i know is i always pick an important message from them and learn a thing or two which at the moment is all i can ask for.... read with an open mind and you will find a learning some where in the below message...
God said:
One thing you can be absolutely
sure of is that I do not have an ego to consult. It is laughable that I would
have an ego. To have an ego, there would have to be something I feel I have to
justify. I would have to think I have something to defend. The very idea has Me
rolling in the aisles.
Human beings have egos, for they
listen to a false prophet. Ego at your side perks up its ears when he feels
threatened and, therefore, feels he must stand up for himself parading as you.
Ego is ever-ready on the alert, just in case. Ego has nothing to do but look
out for offense. From smallness of vision, ego finds offense lurking around
every corner. Ego’s attention is on smallness. Ego lacks a grand vision.
Hmm, is ego the opposite of God?
Is ego the Mighty Mouse oppressor taking the role of defender? Is this ego?
Ego, the fault-finder. Ego, the hair-splitter. Ego, the raging ox. Ego, the
pincher of hearts. Ego, the thin-skinned. Ego, on the look-out. Ego, the
censor. Ego, the critic. Ego who cannot be pleased because never enough
deference is given to him. Ego, the inflamed. Ego, the heartache and
belly-acher. Ego, the robot, who stands with sword in hand, ready to swipe at
anyone who doesn’t give due deference. Ego, the warrior. Ego, the thick-headed.
Ego, who constantly jockeys for position. Ego, the nit-picker.
What, on Earth or in Heaven,
would I ever be doing with ego? Then I would not be God. I would be more like a
crybaby. I would not reign. I would bounce off of everyone, and I would avoid
darts. I would become a keeper of scores. I would be the farthest thing from a
God. If I reduced Myself to ego, I would resign.
Ego has some dominion in the
world. None in Heaven. Ego has no entrance to Heaven. Ego would fear to enter.
He knows he would dissolve here in Heaven. He knows there is no place for him.
In Heaven, he couldn’t lift his head. Ego is so small, he wouldn’t even be seen
in Heaven. Ego would wither on the vine if he were not seen. Ego depends for
his livelihood on being noticed. Ego would perish if he were not a star. Ego is
so puffed up with his own importance. If ego had any importance, he wouldn’t
need to be puffed up
As it is on Earth, ego says to
you with great aplomb: “See me. See me. I am your savior. Never mind God. He’s
off somewhere smoking a peace pipe while I stand up for you. I fight off all
the darts and arrows that are thrown at you. I cover for you. I protect your
honor. I don’t let anyone get away with anything. I am quick to act on your
behalf.”
Ego is such a con-artist. He sure
has you fooled. You think ego is necessary. All the while, ego is a fraud. He
incites. He starts fires. He starts conflagrations. He sets off bombs.
Now, you might say: “God, if ego
is so nothing, why are You belaboring his non-existence? Why are You alerting
us to the shabbiness of ego? Why do You talk about ego as if he were an
arch-enemy? Why don’t You just ignore him? That’s what You want us to do, isn’t
it? Why don’t You just huff and puff and blow him away?”
Beloved wrangler, ego does not
exist! He is a false-front. I would, however, stand on My head to get you
beyond ego. Ego is yours. He is your made-up cartoon character. Yes, I rail
against ego. I try to open your eyes to ego so he can disappear from the face
of Earth. Ant-bites hurt. They are so tiny, and yet they hurt. Ego is small,
yet ego gets in your way in a big way.
Ego that doesn’t exist gets in your
way, beloveds. And you are the ones who must leave ego behind. So long as you
feel ego exists and exists rightfully, he is quick to incite you to battle.
When you step over ego and beyond the strife he exercises in you, then you will
know what freedom and peace are, and then you will live them instead of the
pin-pricks of little non-existent ego.
Ego, be gone.
