God does all things. God is responsible for all things. God is also responsible for the ego. God is responsible for the delusion. God is responsible for waking from the dream. The dream is the dream of separation, of independence, of individuality, of personal power. There is no person, no personal power. There is no self or self-help. Those are the delusions. There is just oneness.
Where do desires come from? Ever wondered? Where do dreams come from? Ever wondered about it? Have you ever honestly wondered where your thoughts come from, where your feelings come from? What is this thought "I"? These questions are rarely asked. In the dream, actions, thoughts words and deeds become yours? Ever wondered how? They are carried out bodily. That is not disputed. What is questioned is who is doing them. What is the truth of this "I" that says 'mine'?"
This is the question seers and mystics have dared to ask. What am I essentially? is essentially the wrong question. The right question is, "Who says 'I'?" What is the truth of the individual self? What is the "I", the ego? When is it there? When is it not? What is its function or dysfunction?
Inquire, and you just might find that there is nothing you can do about anything. As a separate individual, you don't exist. How's that for rest?
