"Ever...It is written in A Course In Miracles:<br /><br />"Everyone makes an ego or a self for himself, which is subject to enormous variation because of its instability. He also makes an ego for everyone else he perceives, which is equally variable. Their interaction is a process that alters both, because they were not made by or with the Unalterable. It is impossible to realize that this alteration can and does occur as readily when the interaction takes place in the mind as when it involves physical proximity. Thinking about another ego is as effective in changing relative perception as is physical interaction. There could be no better example that the ego is only an idea and not a fact." T-4.II.2:1-6<br /><br />And so what is this "person" who has inherent worth and dignity? Is it the ego we have made up, but the creation of what the Course calls the Unalterable?Susan Schmidtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-63975657437384779542014-06-08T11:51:29.930-04:002014-06-08T11:51:29.930-04:00Linda McCullough Moore writes in her story, "...Linda McCullough Moore writes in her story, "On My Way Now" which appeared in the Sun magazine, April, 2014:<br /><br />"Every family has a nationality: we were mostly Irish. Every family has a color: we were mousy brown, gray, tan, beige in a certain light. Every family has a shape: we were amorphous. Every family has a sound: we whined, complained, bemoaned, groaned on occasion. Every family has a tone: we were monotonous, droning. We were not lively. We spent a lot of time in church, and when we were at home, we ate unconscionable amounts of ice cream and worried about things." p.20David G.

You are always one with the all whether you realize it and are aware of it or not. As Luke Skywalker said in Starwars, "May the Force be with you." It is the ego that becomes lonely because it is not getting attention which it craves desperately and does everything in its power to convince you that you have been rejected and abandoned which is a big lie. Your job at times like this is to remember who you are and get in touch with that from which you are manifested. This Life force is eternal and is always available to us if we but turn inward and enjoy the bliss of presence.Aaron Davidsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-55126545513541129062014-06-08T09:40:46.793-04:002014-06-08T09:40:46.793-04:00It's getting heavy, Dave, your question of who...It's getting heavy, Dave, your question of who is the who.
