WE KNOW HE HAS SPOKEN BY THE LIFE WE LIVE

More and more our spiritual lessons seem to be simply recalling that which we've already learned. It is when we are living the spiritual lessons that we stop feeling gobsmacked when we come again to the written word...that has already gobsmacked us a half dozen times.

We don't so much "hear" God as we know he has spoken to us when our actions show forth what we have learned. When we are living forgiveness, love and laughter, we are living the acts of giving over, giving up, giving in. Then we may come to the words agree with your adversary quickly and not even flinch. Until we're living such a turned-over life, however, we flinch.

I am reminded [from Joel Goldsmith's "The Gift of Love"] that our actions do not result from our seeking to demonstrate good...the very seeking keeps us in the material world, i.e., outside the spiritual way of life because we are failing to recognize the already infinite nature of our being. There it is. What we must realize is the already infinite nature of our being. I'm guessing we fully become that three days after we're dead.

Back to our first spiritual lesson, namely, keep it simple, We accept that our focus needs be on still more spiritual growth which is...drum roll...to give over, give up and give in. Not as a self-determined objective but as we breathe.

We will know he has spoken to us when our actions show forth what he has said.

Thank you.
