According to me, the only thing we will ever need to overcome is our own self...our own reactions, our wants that we perceive as needs, our logic, our belief in our own intelligence, the reasoning part of our reasoning mind. The swift kick is realizing that the new meaning of to overcome is to lose.
Because all of those legislate for self; none recognizes a power greater than self.
If we are ever going to trust unto dependence on our inner Self, we must accept that we are looking at our life as in a mirror (example, our hair, parted on the left, in a mirror looks to be parted on the right). Quite often, what looks to life like bad business, God sees as good...and vice versa.
There's where the reasoning mind balks...because, just as Freud pointed out, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
And there it is...the very why that we can hold and hone our reasoning mind for it has its perfect uses just like our hands and feet. But, just like those appendages, they are never in first place...we can't trust any of them to the exclusion of the Father within. For it is the Father within who doeth the works.
That is the key, the end goal of our search for still more spiritual growth...to come to believe in the fact of the Father within us, then to trust unto relying on the Father, the Father who does our life's work.
Thank you.
