Blinding flash of the obvious: Oneness cannot be Oneness if it only exists spiritually. There is ever the quality of Oneness within us, without us...mentally and spiritually.
I have tended to think of Oneness, being One with the universe, as a purely spiritual goal to reach...something to attain someday by grace and by God.
The picture popped this morning of me as Lucy With The Football, lording it over the schnook who always falls for my ploy. At one and the same time, I saw me as poor, pitiful Charlie Brown, the schnook who falls for it every time. I felt equally Lucy's glory mingled with Charlie's shame. And I knew this for Oneness on the material plane.
I wonder if Oneness exists on the material plane without striving, seeking, praying, then isn't my seeking for it only on the spiritual plane me going in the wrong direction? Must they not meld?
Ah, experiencing my Lucy/Charlie moments requires my turning to my Father in that moment. Right then and there is the marriage of material and spiritual when I realize my need of his spiritual view, when I know again that my reasoning mind cannot get me there.
Still more spiritual growth, then, is the same-old-same-old: Not all on our own to experience anything but for our perspective to ever be lifted up...turned around...turned over to our Father to be righted.
Thank you.
