My two blinding flashes of the obvious:
There is another level of awareness only found within us. My interpretation: That level is where the Kingdom of Heaven is found. Heaven, that hidey hole of all that is holy, that is God and is of God.
President Trump is the proof that God loves us immeasurably. My interpretation: Trump as proof that God loves us immeasurably is the melt-down surrender to the fact that God has given us the gift we need in order to get over our own self...through love.
I claim the Sermon on the Mount as my own Book of Knowledge. I try, sincerely and with no conscious reservation, to live by the principles set out by the Sermon. I need and use all the other authors, books, spiritual leaders, etc., that speak to me. There aren't that many, and they are everywhere. They are, collectively, the pearl of great price. Which fact ties my two BFOs together.
When we finally are able to give up our resistance to President Trump (or anything), it will not be through analyzing, thinking, pondering, talking...all of which being necessary in order to get us to surrender, i.e., complete despair of ever getting there.
All it takes is to divorce our self from our own opinions, likes, dislikes...to get over our self in other word. It is only then in complete surrender that we can see our self-described problem in a new light...through God's eyes.
So there it is. My new goal: To see President Trump as proof of God's love for me and to mean it.
God has already done my heavy lifting here else the idea would never have come to me. (New BFO.)
Thank you.
