burned out candles
When Jesus said “Not my will” this brought him to his highest effect. We too, when we get beyond little ego, we reach toward deific, we can do larger. This is a lesson of Jesus’ life: not sacrifice: sacrifice of the ego.
This then points toward the difference between true sacrifice and the burned out candles of people who sacrifice to the point of wondering if they exist—and some to the point of giving guilt to those for whom they are sacrificing.
So we have giving up our little will, our little ego, to be wholly present, or at least wholly available to be wholly present.
