Another weakness we have, a very big weakness: there’s always a “me” there trying to get something done. There’s always a “me” trying to even understand the Truth and when you may not be aware of it, you completely feed this “me”.

You want this “me” to have certain harmonies. You want certain things around you to change so that the “me” over here can be more comfortably situated. That’s all the wrong focus.

You want this “me” to have a better job. You want this “me” to have a happy marriage. That’s the wrong focus. You’re working out of a false sense of self.

You must learn that there is no “me” here. There is only the Christ of God here, and that means, at this level, we have no personal desires, no earthly desires.

Before Jesus gives up the ghost, he bows his head. The bowing of the head is the complete surrender of the human ego. He bows his head to tell us that you must learn to bow your head. This is the complete surrender of the human selfhood.

As long as there is a human selfhood there, there is going to be a bad back or a bad child or a bad relationship. There’s going to be good and there’s going to be evil in human relationships.

When there’s no human self, you have bowed your head and then, you can give up the ghost. There must be no human self in your consciousness.
