Gwyneth gave a memorable reading when she chaired for Paul Eyre from Manchester last night (Sunday, 5th May) and we were so taken with it that we’ve printed it below for us and others to remind ourselves of these spiritual sentiments.
The Battle Within us
Our Ego seeks to serve itself
Our Spirit seeks to serve others
Our Ego wants recognition
Our spirit has authenticity
The Ego sees life as a competition
To the spirit, life is a gift
Ego looks outwards
Spirit looks inwards
Ego fears lacking prestige
Spirit is abundant
Ego is drawn to Lust
Spirit love has no boundaries or limits
Ego boasts of wisdom
Spirit has wisdom within
Ego wants the prize
Spirit enjoys the journey
The ego can inflict pain
The Spirit within us is the source of healing
Ego tries to bargain with God
Spirit embraces God
The ego is never satisfied, always wanting more
Spirit thrives on selflessness and giving
Ego wants adulation and fame
Spirit is content just to be
Ego is all about Me Me Me
Spirit is love for all
When oh when will we see
That only when we relinquish our egos
That only then can we set
Our Spirits free to soar
And the riches of Heaven and earth
Will be ours now and for ever more
Battle won
