While on vacation this week, it's been fun watching my ego at work. Vacation for me is a time of regeneration, with minimal activity. At the same time, for my family, vacation is time of excitement, new adventures, doing things we haven't done before, while keeping to some of our traditions.
Are you seeing room for ego conflict here?
In the Disappearance of the Universe, Arten explains that once we recognize that this seemingly life we are living is just a dream we can begin to accept that the only purpose in each day is for us to learn to listen and respond to the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the day. (Remember, forgiveness is GIVING a heavenly interpretation FOR our earthly experience.)
So as I have been walking through this week with a "Holy Spirit grin" on my face, I've been catching myself in petty judgments, conflicting conversations, and in a spirit of unwillingness to stop and listen to Spirit. If I were back at home with work demanding my attention, I'd have an excuse...I don't have time to be still. On vacation, this excuse is seriously hollow. But don't fault an ego for trying!
Please continue to me hold me in the light and see me joining with the truth that is within each of us...that same truth that is each of us...and spreading that truth wherever I am as I walk in the Spirit.
In Joy,
Michael
