Admittedly, I've barely ever heard of Hildegard and never of her book, but when I read that line, I flashed that that which is within is the hidey hole of God...my core, each and everyone and thing's core. We are complete within us for it is the unseeable God consciousness that is our energy, our protection, our being.
It is our core that knows our need is to give over, give up, give in...no, it is our core that is our need to give over, give up, give in. To love, to laugh, to forgive by accepting, to accept by forgiving...who's kidding whom, to get over our self.
Since we're talking about living in this world by spiritual principles, we must keep it simple and ever simpler. To me that means to get over my self every time I feel justified...period. I have learned that "justified" is the clarion call of my ego Lucy, the victim, to gear up and get back at 'em.
Ah, and here comes my own Golden Rule to save my day: I just try not to be as nasty as I want to be. I doubt not there are higher, holier spiritual rules, but I've found none any simpler, and it fits most anything I'll reasonably expect to face. Besides which, it causes me to smile.
Thank you.
