think about that think about that idea
you can be something infinitely greater
if you just have the courage to say
goodbye to the self that you've known
until now I know it's terrifying because
from the perspective of the ego that is
like I mentioned before that's an
existential threat that feels like feels
like suicide to the ego it is but to the
true self to the godly self to the soul
that's just the beginning
it's just the beginning the beginning of
infinite possibilities the beginning of
a life of meaning and of service where
the power of the infinite is constantly
channeled through that clear and
pristine conduit that's humility and you
know what they say they say be humble or
get humbled the end result is the same
way either way at the end of the day we
all come down to the conclusion that
it's not about us it's about him I one
time I heard from a guy some of the best
wisdom you hear is from these old cranky
guys in the AAA meetings I heard a guy
40 years sober he growled once the two
rules of spirituality this guy's name
was Frank the two rules of spirituality
okay what are the two rules of
spirituality rule number one there is a
God okay rule number two you are not him
so here's the deal we can all do it the
easy way the graceful way and we could
be humble and we can just accept the
fact we're not in charge we don't run
this thing or we could do it the hard
way we can go down kicking and screaming
protesting the affront the assault the
insult to our egos it could be heaven it
could be hell it can be the greatest
fulfillment of our spiritual aspirations
and it can be the greatest threat to the
insecurities of the ego I wish everybody
true humility transparency transparency
oneness with your maker oneness with all
and blessings in every aspect of your
lives
