"Everything the ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again to get, it leaves you nothing. Therefore ask not of yourself what you need, for you do not know, and your advice to yourself will hurt you. Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. Leave, then, your needs to the Holy Spirit who will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them. What comes to you from the Holy Spirit comes safely."

--- ACIM, text, 239 (3 Volume set)
