from Jesus:
It is both important and
helpful to ask Archangel Michael to protect your soul against the enemy
within. In fact, it is highly beneficial to ask Archangel Michael to
bind the human ego and the dweller
on the threshold. You will see that this is part of Archangel
Michael's Rosary.
The reason it is important to do this is that when the soul begins walking
the spiritual path, the soul often is not strong enough in its own self-awareness
to keep the ego in check. The ego still has so much influence over the
soul that it can greatly slow down your spiritual progress and perhaps
even cause you to abandon the path. It will therefore be a great assistance
to the soul’s spiritual growth to ask Archangel Michael to bind
the ego.
However, it is extremely important to realize that while Archangel Michael
can bind your ego, no being in Heaven can take away your ego. The reason
being that you created your ego by making free-will choices, and therefore
the ego can be uncreated only by making free-will choices.
What Archangel Michael can do for you is to bind your ego so that your
soul can progress more rapidly on the spiritual path. As you attain
a higher degree of Christhood, you can begin to tackle the ego one decision
at a time. You can then gradually abandon all of the false beliefs,
the imperfect decisions and the dualistic sense of identity that make
up the ego.
Yet in order to be permanently free of the ego, you must consciously
replace all of the dualistic decisions that led to the creation of the
ego with better decisions based on the unified vision of the Christ
mind. Of course, in order to replace these decisions, you must make
them conscious.
However, this can be done as a gradual process of replacing imperfect
beliefs with better beliefs, as I explain elsewhere.
Only when you have replaced all of the imperfect decisions will you
fulfill the saying that the prince of this world comes and has nothing
in you. You see, as long as you have an ego, the prince of this world
will have something in you that he can use to tempt, manipulate, coerce
or control you.
