Nary a moment goes by that ego does not try to tell you that you are different. Nary a moment does pass that ego does not try to cement its grip on your heart. It knows that if your heart were fully open from one moment to the next ego would no longer play the starring role. If the heart were fully open to all others, you would feel the real connection you all share and would finally realize you are no different at the soul level. Then what would ego do?
Do you see why you continue to have thoughts of separation? At the moment, ego plays a starring role, and so its voice is much louder in your thought. Gently tell ego to step aside and then listen, listen, listen. As the voice of spirit grows ever stronger you will be able to put ego in its proper place. It plays a vital role as human operations manager, but spirit rules the heart.
