LEARNING TO RESIST NAUGHT

We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can.... -- Plato

I need to break statements like that down to my level of understanding. We ought to fly away from earth [self] to heaven [Self] as quickly as we can...is my beginning to make that my own.

How to do that? To fly away from self we must become transparent.

How to do that? By learning to resist not...anything.

There's where time comes in...learning and accepting that God's time is not our time. There is no 24 hours in a day in God's world. There is only now. So now is the acceptable time to practice the art of becoming transparent...to give up resisting anything and anybody.

The biggest block to the idea of transparency is the reasoning mind. It cannot, nor will it ever, accept transparency as a viable way of life because there is no control there...no ability to move things about...no chance to win.

Here again, we must go beyond reason to love, to God, where we learn to resist not...anything. Which is one more impossibility to the reasoning mind...whose greatest weapon is its immediate ability to find the worst case scenario in any suggestion wherein it feels threatened. As in, "If I give up resisting everything, I could be raped, robbed, murdered, sliced and diced, abused beyond human understanding, etc."

The fact is every time we think we've made a decision to turn our will and our life over to the care of God, we've made a decision to go beyond reason...to love, to God. We've made a decision to give the art of becoming transparent a chance, to try non-resistance.

Like everything else in life...there is no perfect. We simply become willing to try...to resist naught.

Thank You.
