Seeking still more spiritual growth while still living in the material world (hence, for all intents and purposes, dependent on our reasoning mind) gets us finally to the realization that one size fits none. Our reasoning mind wants (thus believes we need) one certain-sure, never-fail answer to any and all of life's problems.
The paradox is that we have that one answer; i.e., spiritual principles can solve all our problems.
The paradox is that we have that one answer; i.e., spiritual principles can solve all our problems.
The problem, we think, is knowing which spiritual principle for this immediate problem? Because it's the same problem as last time but what we did last time is not working, is making the problem worse, is drawing us deeper into what-to-do-what-to-do?
That's the dawning of our new day... when we are given the gift of understanding that we do not have, and cannot hold, in our brain our insurance for always-right-never-wrong. That brings us right smack up against Now...to What or to Whom do I need to open my inner Self right this very minute? And how?
It is our perplexity that causes us to turn to another, to seek human help...to admit out loud to another's ears that we do not know. We feel blessed when we get a "good" answer...we are doubly blessed when that "good" answer seems to not work. Those of us who have run out of other options continue to seek still more spiritual growth, and at some point we find our seeking help was all we needed to do. The answer was immaterial, the "wrong" we saw gave us the blessing we needed. And we laugh.
In the end, our lesson a'learning is, there is only one spiritual principle, Love, it just comes in different guises.
Thank you.
