One of the biggest secrets we try to help keep is a sense of autonomy and pride. The theory or feeling that you are important in certain special way, that you are loved by way of a special person, that somebody is giving you special attention, they are some of the ego's very subtle secrets. We are attempting to hide our Divine Self and are playing every one of these different games, which appear to be very upsetting. It's pretty depressing and it really doesn't go anywhere, so we try to get scraps of special love, attention and recognition to prop ourselves up.
We work so very hard at becoming “better people”, at gaining greater intelligence and more skills. We desire to be liked more and become more popular. The whole self-help industry is dedicated to improving the self in order to turn into a better you. That's another trick we secretly play on ourselves, thinking we've to help keep spinning our wheels wanting to become better. This self-improvement game is another secret we can to learn to release of. It's very relaxing once you start to realize that you do not need to become much better than you already are. You're created perfect. It's not through self-improvement that you will find peace but through self-acceptance.
As I worked with A Course in Miracles, I could see that there is a fear of divine love in my mind. I realized this was the ego's fear of losing itself. The ego is afraid to be exposed and being seen as a puff of nothingness a course in miracles. That's the fear of intimacy. We speak about this fear in relationships, which may also be projected as fear of sexual intimacy, but it is really a fear of dropping our persona, our mask of individuality. It's the fear to getting swept away by way of a glorious love, a love so powerful that none people can even imagine something as glorious and powerful!
For me personally, those will be the big secrets, because it doesn't begin with this specific great awareness. It always starts with feeling like you've done something wrong, whether you've masturbated, stolen something, mistreated somebody, or there is something in your mind that you've judged as so hideous that you don't even want to manage it, you would like to forget about it and push it out of awareness.
Underneath dozens of memories and thoughts, may be the belief that individuals are separated. Here is the “secret” we hide. It is actually an impossible belief, but we believe that it's true; We have judged it as horrific and have pushed it out of awareness. All unconscious guilt comes from this belief in separation. And as you probably give yourself to the miracle, you feel dozens of hidden beliefs and secrets are increasingly being washed away and you finally face this hidden belief in separation!
A Course In Miracles is a book which brings you tools to reverse all fearful thoughts and beliefs. Using these tools afford them the ability to get the complete sense of freedom and peace you've always been yearning for.
