I woke up thinking the ego is the personality. People on ego trips defend their personality against the events of their encounter with God, whatever they view God as. I don't have a clue whether this means anything valuable to me or not. I woke up, and there it was. Now I'm writing about it to see what co-me-s.
Something happened today I've been looking for at least ten years. Why am I always the last to know? I've figured that projection has to be a part of Christianity, but I haven't been able to recognize it except for the Golden Rule. The saying from the Gospel of Thomas describes it tersely:
5 Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. [And there is nothing buried that will not be raised."]

All anybody can know that appears in the front of their face is who or what they think they would be themselves if they conducted themselves in the same way the attribute to the other. They perceive what they "think" is out there.
What they've hidden from themselves about themselves is most easily recogitated in the objects of the external world. We are reborn in the other, but not as them.

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
