today we talk about the ego, it is our ego that cause us problems. Marianne says that the ego is a choice of guilt, the holy spirit is choice of guiltlessness.
all negativity derives from fear, when someone is angry they are afraid. When some is rude they are afraid, when someone is manipulative they are afraid, when someone is cruel they are afraid. It usually our ego which makes us feel these negative emotions because it is afraid. When you are surrender everything to God and to the universe, you have no fears and no ego.
it is the ego that tells us to react in a negative way, the ego will put up resistance when you are choosing love above fear. and the miracle that Marianne is talking about is the shift in our perception for us to realise that the ego causes more pain than we can imagine, and that we need to make a choice to love. many times it feels like someone has hurt us but what really has happened is that someone's closed heart has tempted us to close our own heart as well. that is why the miracle is the shift in our thinking: the willingness to keep our hearts open regardless of what is going on outside us.
this is easier said than done but once we have made the commitment, we dedicate an hour per day to our spiritual practice that will allow us to shift our mind towards a miracle. and I am not talking about religion, I am talking about a spirituality.
