Some Ways of Suffering Anxiety and worry Depression Anger Boredom

What are we suffering for?

The true self and the false self The false self is an elusion. The false self is a group of projections (dependencies & false securities) The false self is created by the father of lies and maintained by the world. ½ life-time is spent in finding it, ½ lifetime is spent protecting it.

The life story of a false self The birth and nourishment: “born too small for the world” The myth of finding oneself “ Crying too loud or hiding” The anxiety of loosing oneself: “ fear of going back to be small again”

The birth of the True self Out of the death of the false “a grain of wheat”

Have you met yourself yet?

Food to the ever-hungry false self Encounters with subconscious beasts: Food to the ever-hungry false self Lusts & attachments: Money and positions,. Prestige Job and Career (recognition), People: emotional (family) and physical lust. Out of lust and attachments comes: Jealousy, envy, pride ..etc Fears: to loose any of the above Out of fear comes: lies, anger, wrath, contentions ….and anxiety

The false self is deceitful : Did you know? The false self is deceitful : Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Smoking The Caves Probe #1 for lust of money & positions Readiness to give generously Readiness to leave all positions. “The rich young man” Probe #2 for attachments Leaving sinful attachments Leaving one’s family Probe #3 for lust of prestige Fleeing from praise Accepting humiliation “may even look for it”

The food of the false self is seeds of death “Romans 8:1-18” “Galatians 5:16-24”

St John’s Gospel Chapter 5 “.. Yet I do not receive testimony from man,… I do not receive honor from men. But I know yow, that you do not have the love of God in you… How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and you do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? St John’s Gospel Chapter 5

The True self is a creation of God Only the true-self can: know and Worship God “God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” Understand His words “ears that hear and eyes that truly see” Recognize The Son “when you lift up the son of man, then you will know that I am He” Receives The Spirit. Myron only to the baptized Feeds on true love.

Is There any place for ambitions?

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Philippians 2:3

Who am I doing all this for? A worthy question? Who am I doing all this for?

The Wedding crowns & Vows On the road of martyrdom. Crowned to serve and give oneself to the other.

Which is easier? Which is True? Remedying the false self or killing it? Which is True? Finding the false self or loosing it?

Why go Through This?

God’s way of treating our condition ? Treatment Center God’s way of treating our condition ? What is baptism?

God’s way of treating our condition ? 2 Corinth 12:7

Emergency treatment of anxiety No way out? “Gethsemane experience” Prayer + Supplication + thanksgiving Let go “Your will” Do not keep thinking about the problem “The snowball effect”

“And He buried us with Him”
