From my eyebrows up, I get that it is necessary that we each see God as supplying all that we personally need. But getting it and doing it...living there...ah, two different things all together.
Here's my best guess: Those who get it through realization, knowing from the inside out, know they never need seek anywhere else for help of any kind. The reason that's so hard to come to is it requires a whole new level of meditation. First, we must get quiet...still that busy mind...and listen inward for as long as it takes. Set no time limits...if we hear within three minutes, we've got our connection. We shoot our "Thank you," and walk away at peace. I've experienced that many times.
However, it doesn't always take two, three or four minutes. The spiritually mature are prepared to sit quietly and listen for as long as it takes to receive that God connection. Quite literally for as long as it takes...hours and longer. I am told the fruits of this discipline are other worldly. I have never experienced that.
I consider myself more spiritually mature than not, so I am very aware that the only thing that holds me back from experiencing the long-wait connection is the old want to. If I wanted to sit quietly waiting, I would. Those who want to, do; those who don't want to, pray...for a short-cut, a special dispensation, I reckon. And that's perfectly alright.
We each come into God the way we need to. I can't think God sits in judgment of our chosen way of coming to him. Or withholds his love because we chose the wrong door to enter.
God loves. You and me. Just as we are. Are we blessed or what?
Thank you.
