Love, Joy, Peace, welcome these. Let no personal feelings, no thoughts of self banish these. Singly, they are miracle-producing in a life, but together, they can command all that is needed on the physical, mental and spiritual planes.
It is in these wonder-realm attributes, all success lies. You have to see your inner lives are all they should be, and then the work is accomplished. Not in rushing and striving on the material plane, but on the battlefield of the Soul are these things won. -- God Calling, January 30
I first "got" those paragraphs in 1978...I've "got" them again, and repeatedly, over the years. I have underlined and highlighted them almost to unreadable. Yet here's me today, again feeling as if I am, for the first time, truly understanding their meaning.
This is the process that takes me to realization (and to self-acceptance): First it must be accepted by the reasoning-mind, then it moves deeper to a higher level, then deeper yet, and still deeper, continuing unto realization. (As to self-acceptance, until I quit fighting myself for not nailing it forever the first time, I remained stuck in self, trying to make it acceptable to my ego...a useless, but necessary step.)
Once we surrender to, i.e., accept, that fact, the next time when it slaps us upside the head and we're wonder struck with the real truth of it, we can love and laugh and feel good all over...we are experiencing our promised Love, Joy, Peace.
Can't wait for the next time I get to love and laugh with me and my I Got It feeling.
Thank you.
