What do you think? THERE IS NO BLAMING THE EGO EITHER!
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

THERE IS ONLY ONE POWER -There is no blaming the devil (Or the "ego" either)
Rev. Ed Kosak's of Unity Charleston - "Edmail" The first of Unity's principles teaches that there is only presence and one power in the universe and in our lives, God the Good omnipotence. There is much to this principle that we can discuss. Sometimes I like to look at the "contrast" of the principles. The contrast in this principle is that there is no other power in the universe or in our lives, specifically no devil, Satan, or evil spirits. Also we in Unity teach that there is no hell where these evil beings can come from. Flip Wilson in the old TV show "Laugh In" used to joke, "the devil made me do it!" He was joking of course, but there are many who still believe in the man made concepts of a devil or hell. We respect all beliefs...and we don't have to agree. There is no blaming the devil for practitioners of the the first principle!
