"Trust Not Your Good Intentions": The Ego's Use of Virtue [CD]

Trust not your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your willingness, whatever else may enter.

This program explores our misguided efforts to demonstrate our goodness through "good intentions." "Good intentions" come from a failure to recognize and understand the illusory nature of the separation from God, the ego self, the world that follows from it, and the meaning of forgiveness. And so we mistakenly believe there is something we need to do about the world or thinking that comes of our self without the healed perception that reflects Jesus' teachings. This program discusses the implications for our everyday lives of learning not to trust our good intentions as we grow in our awareness of our sameness as the one Son of God and gain the willingness to choose once again.
