From: God
It’s easy to get afraid when you hear people talking about “ego death.” While that’s not the best way to phrase it, there is some value in understanding that concept. It is good for you to let go of self-centeredness; and yet, even those words don’t really capture the meaning here very well.
The thing is you want to be happy and the greatest joy you will ever know comes from Me. To have a close relationship with Me is to live in a state of continual joy. To see the world as I see it is to see all around you with eyes of love. To open your heart to My Spirit is to open your heart to Infinite Love and Light.
So, you could say that coming to Me is the most selfish thing of all; because there is nothing that can compare to the joy you will find in being One with Me, or rather in recognizing Our Oneness.
And yet, coming to Me is leaving a lot of attachment behind. It is letting go of old ways of looking at things. It is recognizing that your earthly desires do not lead you to the fulfillment that you really want. It is recognizing that earthly things and worldly pleasures are fleeting and kind of ephemeral and you don’t want your happiness to be based on that which is ephemeral. You want your happiness to be based on that which is Eternal. You want your happiness to come from that which is always true.
My Love for you is a constant. My Love for you never wavers.
