[The following is a reprint of my blog of May 11, 2014.]
I am reminded this morning that true spirituality is a mystical matter, not a moral matter. Mystical, meaning not of the reasoning mind. My reasoning mind right now is sitting in judgment, and my ego is calling it God's will. It is not...it is just another self-determined objective.
Interestingly, this came to me this morning when I read a note I wrote in my "God Calling" on this day in 1989...AFTER we'd followed what we took to be God's will. What a mess. What a mess that I am grateful for today. For we had talked back then with mentors, many friends and some total strangers, and all had agreed on the course of action to take, and we took it.
That's how we learned that God's will is in the mess, too. Just because we did not get the result we were going for, doesn't mean there was no God in it. We each learned something that we would not have learned otherwise...something different for each since we each had our own lesson to learn.
That's how "the mess" is transmuted into "the gold." Let God change the way we're looking at it.
Thank you.
