By love may He be gotten and holden, by thought never. -- "The Cloud of Unknowing"
We learn Truth, we accept it and in the acceptance think we know Truth. No. We have taken but a single step toward our knowing Truth, it being a given it is the most important step.
Living Truth, however, living free of our reasoning mind dictates, our ego-victory drive, our very self is our Soul work.
It seems the minute we realize that, our reasoning mind gears up, already twisting, turning, trying to figure out how to...how to not think our way free by thinking about it.
Actually, the way free is simple, the doing not so much. For the answer is love...whatever we are thinking, feeling, doing, being...love it more. According to Joel Goldsmith, "We need only somehow to increase our capacity to love."
This is especially true (and counter-intuitive) when we find our thoughts in a dark place, and we're feeling scared, repulsed, angry...resistant, in a word. The way out is to open our minds to the possibility of loving it. Our "thank you" will head us in the right direction, toward an open (non-resistant) mind.
Love is the highest and holiest action because it always contains that which is not love within itself, it always and ever moves to include the unloving. -- Thaddeus Golas, "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment"
Thank you.
