More and more I am understanding that all of our problems are in our mind. Or, we perceive all of our problems as outside of our self but they make their home in our mind.
This is what still more spiritual growth demands of us...that we leave our home in our head and go deeper into our Soul, i.e., the kingdom of heaven.
There will always be Gertrudes and gremlins and wants and wonders in our walking-around world. Our ability to detach from our own fascination with them is the measure of our spiritual growth.
To be sure, this requires effort and love, a careful cultivation of the spiritual life, and a watchful, honest, active oversight of all one's mental attitudes towards things and people. * * * We must learn to penetrate things and find God there. -- Meister Eckhart
Thank you.
