God or the Ego

In this class, we will look deeply at the core decision every mind must make: to follow either the Voice of God or the voice of the ego. This isn’t a minor choice—it shapes how we see ourselves, others, and the world. We’ll come to see that the ego offers nothing real, while God offers everything we truly want: peace, love, healing, and freedom. As Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24), and this class will help us understand why.

1. Introduction

We will begin by facing the essential question: Who are we listening to—God or the ego? The ego thrives on fear and separation, while God speaks only in love. We will learn that real power comes from choosing the Voice for God. As Paul wrote, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). In this section, we’ll set the stage for the entire class by recognizing that the choice between God and the ego is the choice between sanity and insanity, light and darkness.

2. The Gifts of Fatherhood

We will discover that God, our loving Father, has already given us everything. We have not earned it—it is our inheritance as His children. When we accept our divine inheritance, we no longer live in lack or fear. This echoes Romans 8:17: “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.” In this section, we’ll explore how remembering our Fatherhood empowers us to extend love to others as naturally as breathing.

3. The Invitation to Healing

We will learn that healing is not about fixing the body, but correcting the belief that we are separate from God. Healing begins with a simple invitation: a willingness to let God’s love correct our thoughts. Like Jesus said to the paralysed man, “Do you want to be well?” (John 5:6). We’ll see that healing happens the moment we no longer believe in attack, guilt, or sin. We’ll be invited to let love in—and extend it freely to others.

4. From Darkness to Light

We will walk the path from fear to love, from confusion to clarity. In this section, we’ll recognize how the ego hides in darkness, but God’s truth brings everything into light. As Ephesians 5:8 encourages, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” This part of the class will help us stop hiding and start shining, by choosing truth over illusion.

5. The Inheritance of God’s Son

We will be reminded that everything God has is already ours—not someday, but now. We’ll see that we’ve been looking for happiness in the wrong place, and that joy can only be found by remembering who we are in God. Jesus made this clear when He said, “All that the Father has is mine” (John 16:15), and this inheritance is also ours as God’s Son. In this section, we’ll start to claim it.

6. The "Dynamics" of the Ego

We will explore how the ego actually operates—not with power, but with tricks. It feeds on guilt, conflict, and lies. We’ll see that the ego isn’t strong at all; it’s just loud. This mirrors what Jesus taught: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10). We’ll learn to expose the ego’s false promises and see how easily they fall apart when we choose the truth instead.

7. Waking to Redemption

We will awaken from the dream of fear and return to the awareness of our sinlessness. God has already forgiven us—not because He overlooked our sins, but because they were never real to begin with. As Psalm 103:12 reminds us, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” This section will call us to rise and remember that we are already redeemed.

8. The Condition of Reality

We will come to understand that reality is not what we see with our eyes, but what we know in God. God’s world is changeless, peaceful, and eternal. We’ll stop trying to make illusions true and start accepting truth as it is.                     As 2 Corinthians 4:18 says, “What is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” We’ll begin to rest in the unshakable condition of reality—God’s love.

9. The Problem and the Answer

We will end by clearly identifying the one problem: our belief in separation. And we’ll rejoice in the one answer: God’s love and oneness. No matter the form our problems seem to take, the answer is always the same—return to God. In Jesus’ words: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). This final section will tie it all together, giving us the clarity and peace that come from knowing there is only one real solution.

💡 Final Thought

In this class, we will take a powerful journey—from fear to love, from illusion to truth, from ego to God. We’ll see how healing, inheritance, redemption, and peace are already ours when we make the one true choice: to listen only to God’s Voice.

Are you ready to make that choice?
