Holly this reminds me of what the Monk Thomas Keating says. He says before

we can offer up the ego it must be healed of pains and hurts then the needs

for approval and programs for happiness start to peal back and away from the

self which is one aleady with God.Until this point there is nothing to give up

because we are running on programs. Similar verbage being from Gurdjieff who

incites the words " asleep and functioning out of mechanicality"

 

be well take care,Hello Harsha Jerry and the rest,Alan
