Because I simultaneously read and realized a brand new concept...and understood in that instant that it is likely right...I know that I'm in for a deeper level of learning.
Almost my entire spiritual foundation is based in eliminating resistance...coming from the Sermon on the Mount, "Resist not evil." To my ego, anything I come across that I disagree with translates as evil. So, if we don't resist evil (if we let whatever comes to us flow through us), what else matters?
I have that almost-forgotten eager feeling in my stomach. Here's something that seems to expand by contradicting my very belief system, and I am really excited to learn more.
It must be of God...my past pattern on hearing a differing, possibly contradicting, view on a belief of mine has been to deny its validity first and ponder it later...then deny it. Actually, I've not been that closed minded, but I have been known to analyze my "analyzations."
This “[i]t is a great mistake to try to eliminate resistance" just...well, it kissed ME on the lips...and I am grateful.
Thank you.
