Illusionary Will

Much unhappiness comes from your ego denying that a problem exists because it doesn’t know what to do about it. But your ego is only an illusion! To see the realities from which happiness can come, turn over your ego, its denials, and its illusionary will to what is real—God’s Presence within you.

 

When You Don’t Know What to Do

When you don’t know what to do about something, realize that it’s only the ego level of your mind that’s at a loss.

Everything that can bring you lasting happiness and fulfillment in life can be made available to you through God’s Presence within you. So what do you have to sacrifice? Nothing.

Why not turn it over to the Presence within you that orchestrates the pace of the entire universe—the All-Knowing Mind of God?

 

Living a Purposeful Life

Do you know what the purpose of life is? It is to have a purpose! Without purpose, there is no meaning to life, and no reason to feel happy and fulfilled. The best way to have purpose is to do something that helps others, which, in the largest sense, is the purpose of your soul—and everyone’s soul.

 

Working with the Illusion of Time

In life it is important to meet schedules and respond to time-sensitive opportunities. But it is also important to maintain awareness that time is an illusion created by God. There is really only One Eternal Moment that is God’s Presence, and it is through that Presence you reach your potential.

 

Starting Your New Week God-Directed

As you start a new week, ask yourself what you can do to improve your life in some way, by cooperating with God’s Presence and Will. You may get immediate guidance, or it may unfold intuitively during the week. Just make sure you turn your ego and its will over to God’s Presence and Will first.
