My morning blinding flash of the obvious: To welcome another's resistance, rather than respond in kind, is opening the door to Oneness.
The key is the realization that the resistance we sense coming from another is, in fact, resistance to our own interpretation of what we are sensing.
Our ego does the sensing, dictates how we "should" feel about that, then cracks the whip...and there we go off the selfless track that we sincerely we want onto the one of self-determined objectives...heading down that wrong road again.
The question we need answer: Are we willing to risk inviting into our consciousness all the acts of resistance from others that we sense today in order to own them for ours so that the other can be free...which, through God, frees us?
Since "want to" is not willing, albeit the first step, we can only be certain of our willingness by our actually doing it. Which means that we remember that the Father within does the work, then we walk up to the firing line, close our eyes, and pray for peace.
We repeat until there is no firing line...only lilies of the field, and we own free.
Thank you.
