I read Fr. Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation this morning and identified with: "One of Jung's foundational ideas is that mere words and concepts do not give us access to the unconscious. * * * Analysis, if it remains dominant, is merely a control mechanism of the ego."
And then I read my God Calling and saw why I identified with Rohr's statement. I had written a note some years back that fear of letting go of what my reasoning mind has not yet resolved keeps me stuck in the past.
That was true then, it is true now. The great leap-to-your-feet-and-shout-hallelujah fact is that without resistance to that fact, we are freed from the compulsive need to analyze...to analyze even that fact!
Knowing, or rather accepting, our truths about ourselves is the sky-light for our Soul. Accepting that I over-analyze has freed me to over-analyze in which case today I rarely over-analyze. With a little help from my friends (and foes!, my real angels), I keep a clearer eye on myself, my motives, my perceived persecutors, my me...I just don't analyze us endlessly.

I'm fairly certain that is what has given my intuition its voice. My blinding flashes of the obvious are free now to step right up and out...to state their case as it were. I no longer have to analyze them unto uselessness.
There. That is what freedom feels like.
Thank you.
