Ego is all happening in our mind. There is no need for Ego if there is no separation. There is no need for Ego if there is no limitation. There is no need for Ego if there is no meaning. The Ego program is necessary only in the illusion. But the Ego program is an emotional program designed for this movie of physical reality. It is a recent program that has been evolving since the time we set foot on stage. It is a repeated program that we run many, many times with each scene in our movie of reality. And now, as we are presented with the fullness of Mind and the presence of our very self, our mind is still running our Ego program. If we do not recognize what is taking place -- if we are not in Balance -- we find ourselves in judgment. We should know that all judgment is, without exception, the self-judgment of Ego.

The presentation of judgment by our mind may be accompanied by a saint, a spirit, a loved one, or a light; the presentation depends on our expectations. When our Ego asks the question, what have you done with your life?, it comes from our mind. It is not from out there. We know, at that moment, it is self-judgment.

We have many accounts of individuals who have had a near-death experience, or NDE. These are individuals who have experienced the process of physical death and returned to tell about it. There are accounts of NDEs from people around the world. Different cultures have accepted different beliefs yet, almost without exception, each report of judgment fits perfectly into the belief of the reporting individual. Each reporter sees exactly what fits into his or her belief and reality structure. And each report of judgment indicates that judgment did not come from the external presentation. The reporters invariably say that the presentation, in whatever form it has taken, is projecting feelings of total forgiveness and complete Love and understanding.

At death, the mind presents our entire movie experience in brilliant detail and in a moment�s time. The presentation is holographic, and at that instant, we have the ability to perceive it holographically. We recall the relationship between the things we have done and their consequences. Even more, we recall the things that we could have done differently according to our belief and reality structure, or the things we could have done and did not do. All this is presented is in the context of our paradigm.

Our belief system, if we have one, surfaces with astounding emotion. A strong belief system results in expectations that our mind now meets. We cannot have expectations without having limitations. Our mind is still filtering, refining, and projecting the illusion of separation, limitation, and meaning.

Know now, we are not judged by God. We have always had the freedom to choose how we will interpret our part in the movie, and that freedom is without judgment. We know that it took each and every actor to make the illusion seem real. Yet, even while in the midst of the illusion, we have often judged the other actors according to our programs of good and bad, right and wrong. We are now presented the judgment of our mind in response to its Ego program, and it is presented in exactly the way we have judged others. We are experiencing the programs of our paradigm returning. But it took every actor playing every part to produce the movie of life. All the actors agreed on the script. Judgment cannot be external.

All that is, is of The One. All potential resides there, including all experience as well as full awareness. There is not one part in this movie of reality that is not a potential held in The One. What we call good or bad is a comparison of these possibilities in our movie, and they are subjective. The concept of good and bad is a result of our paradigm, and nothing more. When we act our part in the movie and hold other actors in judgment, we are creating the programs by which the Ego in our mind judges us. Each and every time we assess the performance of the other actors and compare their interpretation of the script to our paradigm, we are adding to the program by which Ego presents judgment to us.

What does stand out in detail in the NDE is the complete Love and acceptance of Mind, in whatever form the mind interprets it. Our self-judgment is presented in the Light of complete understanding and total Love. Because we are in the presence of Mind, every moment of our life is viewed in total Love. We come to know, in that moment, that Love is the very foundation of The One. Holographic Knowledge of the total absence of separation, limitation or meaning is presented in the radiance of Mind. We understand, in an instant, that the only things worth accomplishing in this movie of consensus reality must have their foundation in this Love. Anything else is simply of no value outside the limitations of our movie of reality.

We should understand now that we are not in this movie of reality alone. As we have learned, each and every actor is just as important as the next. It does not matter if we think they have a good part or a bad part. All that is, is of The One.

Modern masters often ask their students: Who is the most important actor in the New Testament? Most often, the students say it was Jesus. What would the life of Jesus have amounted to without Judas? Without Pilot? Without the soldiers that nailed Him to the cross? Would we have a church? Would anyone have written about Him? It took every actor to allow The Lord Jesus to perform His part. There was not one actor with a more important part than another, and Jesus knew it. Loving your neighbor as yourself requires Integration of the Knowledge that you and your neighbor, you and every actor playing every part, are One. Loving your neighbor as yourself requires Balance. Good and evil are two sides of the same coin, and the only Balance is in the center. Any variation either way is a product of the mind.

Without Knowledge and Integration, our mind has no program available to present us with the fact that it took each and every actor playing each and every part to produce our movie of reality. The fact that there is no intrinsic good or bad, right or wrong in the movie is filtered and refined by our paradigm. We simply do not get the information. Our mind compares how we played our part according to its paradigm of good and bad, right and wrong. It then presents us with an illusion that meets our expectations of reward or punishment. Again, all judgment, without exception, is the self-judgment of Ego.

When we seek Knowledge and Integrate it into our daily life, we do not judge. We live a life knowing that all that is, is of The One. We hold Balance. We know the source of separation, limitation, and meaning.

Experience in this movie of reality is filled with emotion. Emotional love and hate are the two extremes of this spectrum. Emotional love and hate are reflections of good and bad. Good and bad are interpretations of experience made by the mind. The whole of our sensory experience is a constant struggle between the two.

Perfect Love, the Love of Mind, is in the center -- in Balance. Perfect Love is not without emotion. Perfect Love is freedom from emotion. This freedom comes only from the Integration of Knowledge into our daily lives; freedom comes only from Balance. When we do not maintain Balance, we are overwhelmed by the emotions that our mind attaches to the illusion and are pulled into experience. When in Balance, we experience the emotions while remaining aware of their source and are able to return quickly to the center. This is freedom from emotion.

The powerful program of self-judgment should be resolved now, here in our movie of consensus reality. We should Integrate the Knowledge of how our mind develops this program into every aspect of our life, every scene in our movie. We eliminate Karma and self-judgment by holding everyone in the Light of Balance in The One, knowing that they are a part of our movie of reality. When in Balance, we refuse to judge others and refuse to judge ourselves. We know that all is in Balance. Again, Knowledge, Integration, and Balance are the key -- and attention is the driving force.
