To turn our nemesis into our gold starts with our willingness...willingness which births our will to, which gives in to our want to. Ergo, all it takes to let our nemesis be our gold is to want to, and all that takes is that we change our mind. Which turns out to be the hardest part for there, of course, is the hook.
Since God does not change our mind (having gifted us with free will, it is ours to use), we are brought back full circle...we cannot change our mind on our unaided will alone if our ultimate goal is still more spiritual growth. Changing our mind is no biggie if we've decided on soup then decide for salad...but nemesis to gold? Whoa. Just because it may be possible does not mean it is at all probable...and, according to me, there's not a chance of it happening without the help of God and friends (some of whom may appear as enemies).
Which takes me back to my blinding flash of the obvious of some years back; i.e., if I can feel as grateful for bedbugs as I do for gold...what’s the difference? And there it is. Without the heavy lifting of God and a little help from others...who's kidding whom?...getting grateful is highly unlikely.
There. The practicalities of still more spiritual growth in a wrap...an enlightened BFO is our jumpstart which then requires the help of God and others to bring it to fruition.
Again we are reminded that going it alone in spiritual matters is dangerous.
Thank you.
