These are personal notes and links regarding the dissolution of one's Self-Image --i.e. one's ego. The path is non-duality. Life itself has brought me here. These notes are reminders of my direction, and my lack of direction. They are to strengthen my focus on what ACIM calls "the real world" i.e. "that which does not change." While these notes are written for me, if you find them helpful, you may feel at home to read any of them.
Having and giving
The only things you can truly own, are those you're able to give.
The things that you are not able to give, only imprison you.
You truly know something only when you're able to teach it. You
only know love when you can give it. You only know happiness
when you can bring it to others. You can only know abundance
when you provide value to the lives of others.
That's not to say that we must give away all we have, but rather that
it is the ability and willingness to give, which makes it ours in the first
place. Can you imagine anything more miserable than having
everything in the world, and no one to share it with?
Whatever you're holding back and hiding from the world -- your
skills, your thoughts, your passion, your knowledge, your enthusiasm,
your courage -- is holding you back. The riches you have, be they
material, intellectual or spiritual, are worthless unless you use them.
-- Ralph Marston
