You Are Greater Than You Know

Lou Austin has done a masterful job at comparing one's spiritual relationship with God to a partnership where we are the junior partner who is constantly blessed by allowing the senior partner to lead. He teaches a very simple yet profound exercise for keeping God uppermost in your mind by repeating and practicing the concept "Breathe in God. Breathe out ego." He teaches clearly, as Rumi also taught, that "The idol of your self (ego) is the mother of all idols." (Rumi) The greatest happiness we will find comes in subletting our puny mortal will to the will of the Father who will never guide us amiss. Austin teaches that Christ taught by perfect example this concept: " I do nothing of myself but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works." This is obviously not a book for everyone. those caught in the snare of the ego, believing they are something of themselves, will only scoff. This is a book for believers. Very rewarding! [...]
