Ego's Paradox: Change myself to fit into this world -or- change the world to fit me? True power lies in the thought: Change the mind about ‘self’ and ‘world’.🗝

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

Our thoughts are projected out then are reflected back to us by the quantum mirror of the symbolic "physical" world.

It is impossible that you be hurt by anything except by your own thoughts.

If you are fearful or suffering then, change your mind; adjust your perception.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

We are spiritual beings. The ego is not. It is a mental construct, one entirely devoid of Divine Inspiration; Love. Unable to create, ego is the maker of all that's bound & limited to space & time.

Total liberation is found simply in acknowledging of our Self as God created us.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

Think of the ego as your chosen mental image of 'self,' the you you've made over decades, autonomous and independent of Divine inspiration and guidance; with the world you made conveniently, purposely, designed to make it easier for you to (e)dge (G)od (o)ut.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

We can choose to walk this human experience fearlessly, in perfect serenity & peace, knowing our Self is forever safe at Home, joined in an unbreakable unity with our Source; that we are never alone nor lost, abiding somewhere in an imagined world where fear reigns.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

There need be no sense of loss or deprivation or sacrifice suffered on the path Home through this world, for all those willing to be "in the world but not of it."

Follow your Guide, the Spirit of Love within you. It will lead you joyfully thru the valley of the shadow of death.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

Many there are, faithful followers of the human ego, who have chosen nothing but this world, denying our spiritual Home for the illusions of a magical 3-D dream world.

They suffer a deep, abstract sense of loss; an indefinable emptiness they can neither understand nor heal.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

Ultimately, "they" are just symbols too, reflections of the last vestiges of the ego in whoever perceives them.

Free them, free yourself, by forgiving them - they know not what they do any more than you have, believing yourself a victim of this world, isolated, alone & afraid.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

This world cannot affect our eternal spiritual nature, so all true strength rests in complete defenselessness.

There is absolutely *nothing* to fear.

"We need no defense because we are created unassailable." #acim

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

We make a continuous choice between the power of our Creator united with us, within us, or the weakness of our ego - our own separate individual, autonomous self-image or concept... "me, as I've made myself."

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

It's not what you like or dislike, not what you love or fear, but what you value that determines what you see in your experience of the world.

The only sickness we suffer is mistaken identity. The cure is to accept our Self wholly as God created us; not the ‘persona-in-a-body’ forms we've made ourselves up to be.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

When you seek to cure your Self from an “invisible enemy” that seems to affect the body, you seek to cure that which cannot suffer sickness.

It is in the *mind*, believing sickness of your Self possible, where a cure is needed. Deep down, we all know this.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

All indecision, all that we question about anything & everything, and all internal conflict (projected as external conflict) is rooted and reflected in uncertainty about who & what we are, denying that we are limitless, eternal, spiritual beings; or simply, as God created us.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

If you really want to change what you see on the screen – what shows up in the quantum mirror – withdraw the value you place on thoughts & things.

Withdraw the power of belief in all that you have allowed to misguide you about the world, especially around who and what you are.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

Because of who and what you are as a spiritual being, whatever you look upon, whatever you perceive in this world, on some level you *believe* you want it. The world you see must reflect, and always reflects, your thinking; your thoughts, symbolized in form by things.

[Patrick Darling @patrickdarling]

When you value something you *invest belief* in it... being the stuff – the animating energy – of make-believe.

To believe is to perceive.

"No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value." #acim
