ON WALKING FREE

[M]atter is the outer lovely form, but Spirit is the inner source. -- Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," January 20, 2015.

My morning blinding flash of the obvious: I walk free in Thee...I cannot walk free in me, I can only walk free in Thee.

Outer form, always of the reasoning mind, includes conscious thoughts, words, desires, debates, etc.; the inner, the blinding flash of the obvious or other intuitive thought, is of Spirit.

Within, there is no possibility of  debate, even of discussion. It is known, and it lives and grows in silence. It shows forth without conscious thought.

It is when we get up in our head and let our reasoning mind take us over that we are drawn into debate. There resistance is born with resentment following right behind.

Peace, be still.

Thank you.
