The Last Temptation

You can defend your specialness, but never will you hear the Voice of God beside it.
(A Course in Miracles)

We already know that we are God's chosen Son or Daughter, yet, contact with Him is still only sporadic. How come? God only knows what kind of psychological baggage we still have to throw overboard. But once we do, there is still one fork in the road that we have to take. What is our last temptation? Aren't we all deep-down inside looking for something that makes us special?Where is the corner-stone in our self-imposed mental structure? Do you already have a hunch? I hope for you it is in the good-old realm of sex, power and wealth, because recognizing these traps is easy in comparison. It is the status trap that I would be more worried about. Especially in our spiritual community, how easy is it to go on a mission to catch souls when in fact all we do is to polish our specialness by implicitly looking down on others.  Beware this trap my friend!
