Understanding the Ego Backlash

When I was first a student of A Course in Miracle s I noticed a pattern: Whenever I had a positive spiritual experience, anything from a significant insight all the way up to a higher miracle, I would then have a “backlash” from the ego.

I wish to use the power of my awareness to strengthen your awareness of Christ in you.   So I offer joining sessions at $1 US per minute from 10 to 30 minutes.

This is not a life-coaching session so there will be no discussion. Then I will ask you
