Our Life Our Choice

Love resolves all conflicts, whereas ego only fans the fire of hate, anger and lust, being self-serving, narrow and unjust, leading to discord, separation and heart contraction, so it’s up to us which path we do choose. Ego helps soul to function on this earth but other than that it has no use and if we believe we are this body-mind, then delusion sets in and we flounder about in darkness, blind to the truth of our soul; light of God.
