Re: I am new to your program:
On July 24, 2020 a.m. “The Sacred Nature of Every Moment”: I don’t understand what you mean when you refer to “The Eagle”. Can you please enlighten me? I am a born-again Christian and I have never heard this term used. Thank you. I really enjoyed this entry and video this morning.
Thank you Patricia for being open to the message.
The word you are thinking of is “the ego”, not “the eagle”. As a born again Christian you can think of ” the ego” as “the enemy” or “the devil” or “the material world that we have been program to trust as more real than God’s love.” It is that part of you that is not really you. It is just some program that you have been taught to believe as being the real you.
The real you is the love that God is, everything else is just the ego’s mindset, this world’s programming. For example, anger, resentment and hate are not the real you, they are simply programs that you have been taught by the ego/the enemy/the devil/ to believe are you. Love’s expressions such as forgiveness, compassion, peace and joy, being expressions of Love, of God, are the real you.
The idea of this site is to learn to let go, deny the ego, and see only your loving nature as real and true.
Please, always feel free to use what you find useful, and also feel more than free to disregard the rest.
Peace. JBC
