tippet, how often does the ego grapple with the spirit, and 'win'? How often does the God of my ego tell me that I know everything, and that I don't need to trade with stops, when all that is good in me recognizes this as rubbish? We are in God's image. Jesus died to save us, not God, for Jesus was already of the spirit. Could it be that Jesus is the spirit, and man the false diety of ego, and Jesus was asking why man, in his image, had forsaken him? Jesus did not die for us to revel from afar, but to walk in his shoes, think his thoughts within ourselves. And with this, I ask myself, "How can I let my ego foresake my spirit?" To me, this one question is what the entire book is about. Just my humble opinion.
Peace,
Darrin
