I've been pondering this for awhile: When we try to "fix" any inside thing (i.e., resistance to another), we are at the reasoning mind level. We come to realize that at one time was the accepted way of going about life. However, once we started seeking still more spiritual growth and dedicated our self to that goal, we found our self moving more deeply into a higher state of consciousness. Everything changed almost without our knowing it.
It finally occurred to us that when we keep going back to our reasoning mind, coming up with seemingly solid solutions to our problem du jour. most times we fail miserably...or at least we don't get the self-satisfied result we were looking for. We clearly had to question...what is with this? Where are we going here? What are we doing wrong?
It took a fair amount of time to realize that we are now at a different level; we now must let the "Father within do the works" through us. All of our meditating, studying, detaching is in the process of paying off.
We remind our self again that God must move very slowly in order for us to keep up. That reminder is necessary because that "self-satisfied result we were looking for" is gone...forever if we're doing it right.
There is no self-satisfied in God's world...only peace, love and joy. And isn't that hard to hate?
Thank you.
