TO LIVE IN GOD'S POCKET

It seems to me that spiritual intuition, coming from our center, is soft and brings peace. Intellectual understanding, born in our head, is hard and brings doubt. It takes the spiritually intuitive flash and breaks it down in order to be explained...or to be questioned, not provable or proven false.

To live in our head requires us to question spiritual intuition which is not explainable, and all the spiritual books, writings, materials will not...cannot...impart spiritual realization. They can, however, point the way, and as such surely are necessary to the rank beginners in this world like you and me. The spiritually inclined may or may not receive realization, but true seekers keep seeking.

As we come to rely on our intuition, it manifests as our good...even/especially when it arrives looking less than wonderful. That may well be how we come to trust paradox...it makes no reasoning-mind sense but it proves to be our good. Our head denies what our core welcomes.

The intellectually inclined may or may not receive the same understanding, but if and when they do, they stop and examine it. They pull it apart until their own mind proves its truth to their satisfaction which means they have their own interpretation of it. It is now an intellectual point that comforts the mind and leaves the heart and soul out of the mix. There is neither spiritual comfort nor spiritual growth there.

Those of us who are intellectually inclined and spiritually seeking get to make ourselves available to still more spiritual growth every day in every way. We will examine, will pull apart, will doubt and question...and in that very process, if we are willing, we begin to open. Open to the process of our inner self coming to blossom...not knowing when, where or how It will come, but accepting It as ours and preparing for It.

God-realization might not come in this lifetime since God has no timetable...It may happen the next instant having taken seed three or thirty lifetimes ago. To trust that we live in God's pocket NOW...always and ever NOW...is all we need.

Thank you.
