Problems vs God (Part 1)

Every problem we face, is simply an idea that rises up against and challenges the truth of God. If we believe this idea and allow it to take root in our life we are then believing an untruth. However, we have empowered it to exist in our life and become for us our truth. (Little t). We have entered into an agreement with this idea and for us it becomes powerful. This kind of idea or stronghold usually appeals to our ego or false self. 

The ego or false self is the identity or self image we have formed apart from God and our true selves. This is the wounded part of ourselves that we formed through the journey and challenges of this life. Eckhart Tolle calls this our pain body. This ego (pain body, false self) loves to be the victim, it loves the drama and attention of suffering. Have you ever seen people in competition of who had it worse? The ego loves this game. 

The solution to every problem is a spiritual one. When we understand that we are not our ego or this false self and we connect with our real Source which is God then we have all we need. It's not that we have to connect spiritually, it's that we need to acknowledge we are already connected. We must live out this connection or relationship as our new Truth and abandoned the old ideas of being a victimor separate   from God. 

More on this tomorrow
