And it’s true. So to know Me, all you have to do is truly know your own soul
To have a friendship with God, all I really have to do is have a friendship with my Self
Exactly.
That sounds so simple. It’s almost too good to be true.
It’s true. Trust Me. But it’s not simple. If knowing your Self, much less having a friendship with
your Self, was simple, you would have done it a long time ago.
Can You help me?
That’s what we’re doing here. I’m going to lead you back to your Self... and thus, lead you
back to Me. And this you will one day do for others. You will give people back to
themselves—and thus, back to Me. For when you find your Self, you find Me. There I have
always been, and there I will always be.
How can I have a friendship with my Self?
By coming to know Who You Really Are. And by becoming clear about who you are not.
I thought I have had a friendship with my Self. I like me a lot! Maybe a bit too much. As I said,
if I’ve had any personality problem in my life, it’s been my ego.
A big ego is not a sign that one likes oneself, but just the opposite.
If people “brag” and “show off” a lot, it raises the question, what do they dislike about
themselves so much that they feel they have to get others to like them to compensate?
Whoa. That almost hurts.
A painful observation is almost always a truthful one. You are having growing pains, My son.
It’s all right.
So you mean I really don’t like myself that much, and I’m trying to compensate for lack of
self-love by substituting the love of others?
