The ego prevents you from taking the next step
So the essence of the ego really is that the ego is what prevents
you from taking the next step closer to God. Truly, the ego has many
qualities, as you pinpointed many of them yesterday in your discussion.
But the essence of the ego is, that it is that which prevents you
from taking the next step on your path. And when you begin to realize
that – and realize that the greater part of your being has an
uncompromising commitment to taking that next step – then why
would you fear the ego? Why would you fear to have it exposed? You
would welcome having it exposed, because now you can say, “Ah,
I see it. And now I can let it go.”
As I said to you at Easter,
the key to overcoming and walking the path is that you must give away
all that is unreal. You must surrender it, you must let it go. But
you cannot let it go, you cannot give it away, until you own it, until
you take ownership of it. So, we can say that the ego will first of
all try to prevent you from taking ownership of that part of the ego,
prevent you from seeing it or prevent you from admitting, “Yes,
that part of the human ego is still residing in my container of self.”
And then, if you do see it, it will try to prevent you from
letting it go by making you think that you somehow need it.
And this is the key—to
come to that realization that you are willing to let it all go because
you love something more than staying in your comfort zone. And I will
be here to help all of those who are willing to let go of the ego.
I will give further teachings and tools on this, as the time is appropriate
and as cycles unfold. But for now, I would say, “Saint
Germain has declared clearly that he is no longer fooling around
with anyone’s ego. If you want to be a chela of Saint Germain
and help him manifest the Aquarian Age, then get rid of your ego before
you approach him.” Well, I am the one that will help you get
rid of that ego, so that you can fulfill your divine plan to co-create
the Golden Age with Saint Germain.
Apply within!
Therefore, I am putting up a sign, for I am looking for those who
are willing to help co-create the Golden Age. And you might have seen
on businesses, there is a sign saying, “Help wanted. Apply within.”
[Audience laughs.]
I am putting up that sign, because your help is wanted. And you must
apply within, meaning within yourself, by going within and discovering
that ego, and then letting it go.
Yet, I also have certain conditions. Two thousand years ago I spent
a considerable amount of time and energy dealing with those who were
not willing to even consider that they needed to change, that they
had an ego; those who thought they were perfect, those who thought
they were the wise ones, they were God’s chosen people and they
did not need to change themselves. It was everyone else who had a
problem and everyone else who needed to change. And so my big sign
says, “Help wanted. Apply within.” But the small letters
underneath say, “Hypocrites need not apply.”
[Audience laughs.]
The path that I offer is the path I offered 2,000 years ago. It is
the path of total humility. And even my disciples, who had spent three
years with me, had not fully understood that path. And that is why
they started arguing amongst themselves, concerning who would be greatest
among them when I left. At that moment I had one of these “hitting
the concrete experiences,” and I said to myself, “Does
that mean that after three years they have not understood your message?
Have you not been able to penetrate and make them see what the path
is all about?”
And today I am in a much
better position because there are many people who can see what the
path is about. It is not the way that seemeth right unto a man, which
is the glorification of the ego. Instead, it is the path of the total
humility, of letting go of all of the pride of the ego, so that you
can simply walk away from it and be free.
This is the path I offer. I offer it with all of my love. And I will
lovingly guide you to that point of freedom. Yet I must also say that
love is not always soft, for sometimes you need a firm hand to be
awakened. And this relates also to how you approach other people about
the spiritual path.
