We have free will...that's our own personal tool to use if we sincerely want to change, and the change, of course, is in our consciousness. The ultimate higher consciousness is the realization that God loves us just exactly as we are...warts and all.
But we are on this earth, and we do have work to do to get to that higher consciousness. The best way to effect such change is to find a spiritual director who will point us in the right direction. I personally was pointed in the direction of 14th century mystics, 20th century writers. 1st century and way before the 1st century spiritual figures...not to mention Dear Abby of old and Miss Manner of today.
There are everyday people and ancient writings that speak to our heart and our head. That heart/head connection is essential if we are seriously seeking still more spiritual growth for we must needs open our mind to higher thought...a.k.a., changing our mind.
We'll sometimes find we've misinterpreted what we thought we learned. Fear not the mistakes we're bound to make...God has our back, and we know our intention, our goal, today is for still more spiritual growth. We learn that even being wrong to the point of stupidity (in our own mind) is just another lesson in humility which lesson I'm guessing we'll never not need. And that'll send us to our knees praying for God to change us! There. If we've been paying attention, we'll laugh.
That is the exact point where we learn the answer to everything is to love and laugh. And trust God.
Thank you.
