I am the Way. *** I Am that I Am. -- The Bible
It is not the constant repetition of affirmations and/or denials that count toward our spiritual growth. It is not saying that I can or I can't...that just indicates our mindset which gives or denies permission to ourselves. But permission does not cause nor refuse, neither opens the door nor bars it.
It is in our personal realization of the mystical I that I am that the seed of enlightenment is planted.
It is our potato to grow...ours to grab the hoe, but, more importantly, ours to know when to put that hoe away. When the seed has taken root, then comes the hard work of not hoeing, of detaching ourselves from the process of growing the potato...while doing all we can to make ourselves available to the process.
Learning the art of detaching, of letting go, takes the rest of our lives...or it happens in an instant. In that instant, we are blessed or blinded by our deepest/highest realization that truly I am that I am, the Way, and we know neither how nor why.
We can read, study, ponder, meditate, all of which are helpful, but our "getting there" is majorly enhanced by our works...our selfless works, our care and concern for other than self. For that is God's home...within us for others.
Thank you.
