I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER

If one wants to abide in the thought-free state, a struggle is inevitable. One must fight one's way through before regaining one's original primal state. If one succeeds in the fight and reaches the goal, the enemy, namely the thoughts, will all subside in the Self and disappear entirely.-- Ramana Maharshi

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. —Proverbs 3:5

There it is. A roadmap in those two quotes for all who seek still more spiritual growth.  According to me, if we are going in the right direction, this is our struggle to loose our self from our reasoning mind.

With every moment we give to accepting God and the wonders of God, we are being lifted deeper into the new dimension of consciousness. Our struggle is to not lean on your own understanding.

We learn to divorce our self from our own thoughts, feelings, opinions. That is how we find trust with our heart, not with our mind making sense of it.

We find grace-given faith...our trust is transmuted into faith in God, and our own understanding is put at peace. We have ceased the fight within and without.

I will fight no more forever. -- Chief Joseph
