WE ARE ONE

As soon as I had the thought that it is not just my heart that needs softening, it's my ego-victory thoughts, I read, This is what I mean by the greening of the self. It involves a combining of the mystical with the pragmatic, transcending separateness, alienation, and fragmentation. It is . . . 'a spiritual change,' generating a sense of profound interconnectedness with all life. . . .  Joanna Macy in Rohr's "Daily Meditation," March, 15, 2018.

I'm knowing that never in this lifetime would that have come to or through my thoughts, but I knew it for my answer the minute I read it. There...that's a good example of God's timetable. He gave me the thought that my heart plus my thoughts need softening and almost before I could resist that because I don't know how, here's the word from Joanna Macy. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have never heard of her, and here she is with my answer..

What I think I like best about her quote is it expands on my hard-earned but God-given beliefs that all my problems can be solved by spiritual principles, that all spiritual paths lead to the same place, i.e., the God of our own understanding, that we are the source of all our woes. In short, our own inner spiritual change generates a sense of profound interconnectedness with all life. Oneness.

Thank you.
