Lesson learned: We should never chit-chat about our spiritual insights for we only reveal how puny our spiritual insights are. But if we don't talk about them, if we don't reveal their puniness to our own selves, we will believe our own press...that we are spiritually enlightened (and probably more than you are).
The good news is I have hard evidence that that learned lesson may be sticking. I was chatting with a friend last night and mentioned a spiritual truth in passing...which was met with sticky silence. I made a seamless u-bie in mid-air, and continued talking about a new author I've discovered, Bill Bryson, and his book, A Walk in the Woods. (It is, by the way, one of the funniest books I've read in ever.) Our conversation went on with no more sticky.
I just realized that a separate lesson proven here is that my being aware of another's needs, whether in reception or perception, gave God his opening to take care of me. I look out for another, God looks out for me. I like that balance!
And, oh my yes...that's the very dynamics that could make John Lennon's Imagine come true.
Thank You.
