Pain and Ego
Pain is an ego illusion.
All our sense of struggle and discontentment comes from choosing our ego mind. The ego would have us believe otherwise.
From the ego’s perspective, suffering is the result of living in this world, interacting with other people, and dealing with the limitations of our body.
But that isn’t true. From A Course in Miracles, “Pain is an ego illusion.” As we learn how to decide against the ego and for the mind of universal inspiration, we experience less and less pain. And our lives become much more joyful and serene.
