Tuesday with ET: “There are three ways in which the ego will treat the present moment: as a means to an end, as an obstacle, or as an enemy. E. Tolle from A New Earth
___________

Good morning: In all three way the common thread is that the Ego can’t rest in what is. Life is what is. Ego or our sense of separate self exists as a turning away from Now. Is God Now? Not in the ego’s belief. God along with the Ego is outside of Now, abstracted as an idea or thought believed in that is to become real somewhere in space in the next and better moment. To the SOS (separate sense of self) the present moment is Hell, with a few rare moments of Heaven just to keep the Ego hoping that it can attain Heaven as a permanent residence. Any place but here and now will do.
