THE GREAT RISK...TO GO BEYOND REASON

It is impossible to describe spiritual growth, or, who's kidding whom, God. Yet, if we don't try, we die. Only our ego will live on, gaining strength through fear...and a fearful ego is death to the peace, love and joy that is already ours to use or lose.

It seems counterintuitive but we only grow spiritually stronger by giving in, detaching, subtracting from not adding to, aiming for a smaller self never larger.

The problem being that our reasoning mind promptly sees that as us growing weaker, being conquered by our (imagined) enemies, never getting our own. "Our own," of course, is exactly what we need give up, detach from, etc. "Our own" is our ego's feedbag.

So still more spiritual growth does not come through just thinking on it. Paradox alert! We must think on it in order to realize that thinking is not the answer. Ah, there it is. That's how we get that two-ton mental door to our Soul opened. Opened to the fourth dimension.  Opened in order for a Higher Power to flow forth.

It is in the process of pondering that Higher Power that we are lifted to the place where God lives our life. The great, gettin' up morning is when we realize that God has ever lived our life. In our inability to see or to touch that Higher Power our reasoning mind will ever balk at believing. 

We must go beyond reason to Love.

Thank you.
