Powerlessness And the Power of Egoism

115Question: Why does the Creator put a person in a situation where they must feel powerless? What does it achieve?

Answer: The powerlessness is of your ego, which cannot manage, cope, understand, or realize anything. It cannot grasp the true structure of the soul.

Question: It seems like the Creator causes problems for me to prevent me from becoming a link between creation and Him. Why does He do this? What does He want from me?

Answer: He wants you to desire to break away from your ego.

Question: Is my ego what prevents me from entering this process?

Answer: No, the ego does not prevent us. We should not destroy or annul it. We must learn to work with it properly. If you use the ego to receive everything from the Creator and pass it on to other created beings, it will help you.

How else will you contact other created beings? How else will you receive from the Creator? That is why the ego was created. Think about how to use it, and you will see that it is essential.

That is why the Creator created the ego; it is to bring creation to its normal form.
