Why should you even consider
Why should you even consider when you disagree with someone that the disagreement must be a symptom of your futile ego's asserting itself? You could be asserting truth. Of course, the possibility always exists that your ego is piqued and wants its way, but why is that your first consideration? Have a little more faith in your ideas and where you stand.
It could be ego. It could also be Truth. And, of course, it could be relative amounts of each. It could be. But why not consider first, if only for a moment, that it is Truth you are sticking up for and not your ego.
Doesn't it feel good to be addressed this way? Is it okay to feel good when addressed this way? If we could do it ourselves and feel as good, wouldn't that be wonderful?
When you do not respect yourself enough, that's when ego rushes in with relish to get you off-track and enhance itself.
This makes it: first of all, respect yourself.
Self-respect must be different from what I thought it was.
Nor is their [there?] need for you to be so [?] suspect that another's ego is at play either. Dispense with all this honor of ego. Consider that you and everyone else are ego-less. Go by that premise. See what happens.
What will happen? I think that fighting ego will end. Feeling bad about ego and smallness will end. Self-centeredness will end. Ah, true self-respect

I found Heaven letters through a comment on a blog by Neale Donald Walsch, when the person making the comment mentioned a particular Heaven letter and included a link. After I read the first letter, I was hooked! I knew I had found something very valuable and irreplaceable.
