Ego demonized and

Ron Alexander Here is the original definition of the concept ego by the inventor Sigmund Freud: the ego is the conscious bridge of the id (our lower brain) to the super ego(our higher brain). While we live in the body, the ego is vital. To write the above or anything, we need one. The key is to be aware and not allow it to be in charge. Let go and allow Spirit to lead the way.

Duality is just more seperation, and now more than ever we need LOVING ONENESS, which is REALITY.

Lana Carolan Ron, That's a great point. It does give it an importance which really is counter to the message of ACIM. It is certainly not a "Satan"
