This article is formatted and spaced as it is for a reason.  Please consider reading it very slowly, pausing at the end of each line.  The reason why the world is where it is now is that we have been trained to think with our heads only.  Please think through the following with your heart.

Ego is the imaginary terrorist.

A great lesson of the world right now

Is that the terrorist is not who it seems to be.

We look outside for the terrorist,

But it is we who harbor terrorism in our imaginations.

In the world, the terrorist is the one who is pointing the finger at others as being terrorist.

Our most worldly-powerful governments, our biggest religions, our bankers and corporations who pretend to serve us are the terrorists.  And they are all pointing the finger at somebody else.

They all say, "Be afraid of them."

If we paid any attention to the history of our governments, our religions, our big corporations and the controllers of our money supply/value, we would see that we have allowed terrorists to seize apparent control of us.

If we paid any true attention to why our lives are the way they are, we would easily come to the conclusion that we have put both the “external” macro-terrorists and the apparently “internal” or ego terrorist in positions of power to run our lives.

The answer to this “internal” and “external” terrorism is not in escape from it but in simply choosing to see it for what it is and then calmly refusing to identify with it.

What more will it take for us to wake up to our loving power?

How many more oil spills need there be before we wake up to our collective power?

How many more broken relationships will it take to help us learn to be more loving?

How much more disingenuous behavior on the part of our governments, religions and corporations will it take for us to see that they do not represent us?

The imaginary ego that exists only as it is fed is our terrorist.

We feed it as we attempt to escape from our experience by busying ourselves with addictions and other distractions.

We feed it when we respond to life with fear or with the intent to dominate another.

We feed it by feeling unworthy or inferior.

We feed it by trying to become more arrogant or powerful in a way that has nothing to do with becoming more loving, nothing to do with the true power that is based in Love.

The ego is a great teacher.  It is teaching us that it is imaginary...and destructive if we feed it.

Let’s gently starve it with Love.

That's what we are all here to do, for in that doing we can realize what we are, collectively, at depth:

A connected Being infused with the true power of Love.
