My morning's blinding flash of the obvious: We will never know peace until we let go of our personal sense of right and wrong.
Our personal sense of right and wrong is our petty fears...not getting or losing ours, someone getting over on us, getting unfairly slapped down (has there ever been a "fairly slapped down"?)...any one of which, when we're in the midst of it, is our God. We focus totally on it and will not allow ourselves to know peace until we win or it loses.
More important to me today, though, in knowing peace is the fact that we lose, or never build on, our childhood sense of wonder at life itself. To me, that is simply encouraging our own intuition to blossom, to grow. It seems we are "sore afraid" of our own intuitive sense.
I have discovered that I am a very intuitive person. I like to think of myself as the Grandma Moses of spiritual growth...meaning I am unlearned, self-taught, simplistic..."no frills," in fact. But early on I intuitively knew a truth that set me on the spiritual path of my life. I relied on that and it has never failed me.
I also learned, however, to check myself out...because at first we can't be sure if we're getting God's word or our own wishing/dreading thinking. We learn to build on our intuitive thoughts, nourish them with spiritual readings, take careful first steps at trusting them...until we get that click-click, and we know.
We spend way too much time trying to rid ourselves of our uglies while ignoring God's pearl within. I'm convinced that it is within our intuitive sense that the capacity to forgive lives. It for sure doesn't live in the reasoning mind...or in my reasoning mind at any rate. I have never been able to think my way into forgiving any person even associated with my personal sense of being wronged.
I have forgiven, however, and even wondered how I got so blessed as to give that. Of course it was, of course it is, grace. Grace released and blessing the forgiver and the forgiven, and I am grateful.
Thank You.
