The Tests That the Ego Promotes and Life Lessons of the Holy Spirit

About the Book

Knowing the ego’s thought system and its belief, we will understand how the ego works in our daily life. Through fear, sin, judgment, defense, separation, attack, and sacrifice, the word “sin” means separation, and that is the origin of the ego. Thus, at the beginning of the separation we believe that we were not with God but rather separated from God the creator. We believe that we are autonomous beings in relation to our God.

Born in Santa Catarina, Brasil . from a simple family. Ardeci João Cardoso Filho studied English Language in London and Theology before becoming a writer. At the age of eighteen John had unanswered questions and noted that most of the people around him also had questions, which were: Where did I come from? Who I am? And where am I going? At the moment he had an idea of getting to know other cultures and countries. He decided to move to Portugal. After a year, she was given an opportunity to study in London through a scholarship paid for half a Charity of the Catholic Church and half for Queen Elizabeth. Even so John worked as a part time job as a Manager at a restaurant located on Tower Bridge Road. In London he studied English at the University of Cambridge. He lived there for seven years and at this time had the opportunity to meet various people and cultures, as well as most European countries. But the unanswered questions were still inside John every day: Where did I come from? Who I am? And where am I going? He knew that when he found these answers he would fulfill his dream of dividing them with the world through a book. But the world itself tried to show him that this dream would be impossible to realize. John began to look for these answers in different religions and philosophies of life. But all this was not enough many of the answers of these places were not true or insufficient for their doubts. For some time this fear-based feeling blocked his life as if nothing made sense. It was through his faith in God the Father's love that he continued with his dream, fulfilled today. When in London, John experienced an example of charity, mercy, and compassion, Father Airton Freire, founder of the Land Foundation, a non-profit civil society organization created by Father Airton Freire in a community called Rua do Lixo, very poor, on the outskirts of Arcoverde, a town in the semi-arid region of Agreste in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Years later, João returned to Brazil and the Terra Foundation volunteered as a teacher and translator of English. "With the children I have learned to love others, regardless of their color, purchasing power, race, creed or religion, and this leads us to practice the Teachings of Jesus." They are also words of the author "I know that some fear is also blocking your life purpose. So you will believe that you are small and will keep you from reaching your dreams. This is frustrating! My faith showed that I could change my fear for love by achieving my life purpose. "
