The ego—mental chatter—is sometimes called “the imposter,” because it acts as if it is you when it is not you. Today’s reading says:
Right now, it is as if two “I”s live within you. … One “I” is the false thought, the false idea of who you are. The other “I” is best described now as your true Heart.
If you contemplate this deeply, you will find it disconcerting. There is a voice telling you what to think, feel, believe and do, and that voice isn’t you.
Where does the voice come from?
It comes from consciousness, from the loop of believing attention, but it is manufactured thought. It is manufactured through delusion and fed into your mind. When you believe it is you, and you think, feel and act as if it is you, you are literally a puppet of unreality.
Unfortunately, this is the state of almost all humans in the world today, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Devoted discipline is the answer. We could also call it disciplined devotion, since devotion has been defined as living from within—living from intuition, silence and awareness, instead of living from belief in mental chatter.
