| BkIII:13.III.3 | Only arrogance can pretend to be autonomous. Only the ego, not the Christ in you, could pretend to be autonomous. Consider the following: You have accepted that you have been created by a self that is the source of all creation. You live in peace with this truth, because, despite all the attempts of the world to make you believe that God does not exist or that he is cruel, you still love him with all your strength, all your soul, and all your will, and in fact you trust Him above all. As you have accepted this, you must now accept that God, as a self without attributes, created your being and Christ created your self. That is, God created the self and Christ created your identity. |
