GOD'S GOT OUR BACK

We must stumble and fall, I am sorry to say. We must be out of the driver’s seat for a while, or we will never learn how to give up control to the Real Guide. It is the necessary pattern. Until we are led to the limits of our present game plan and find it to be insufficient, we will not search out or find our real Source.  -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, March 31, 2019

Here's the rude and wonderful awakening...we must stumble and fall more than once...or twice. Repeatedly, in a word. 

There's the Great One where we crash and burn...and learn. The learning is our new life pattern, and I believe is all about unlearning, letting go, detaching...subtracting as Meister Eckhart put it. Which explains why our go-to feeling is unsure.  

As we are raised deeper in consciousness, we feel less unsure, more on solid ground within, a certain trust in the inner Source. Until we don't. Until we stumble and fall. Until we are certain sure and are wrong...or are uncertain and unsure and are feeling apprehensive (which is fear in four syllables). That starts our what-to-do-what-to-do wheels spinning.

The core of spinning wheels is just that...not knowing. We get paralyzed by our efforts to know, and we know not what. Annihilating through analyzing is our go-to when fear is riding herd. There is no God there...who's kidding whom? There's not a lot of smarts there. 

The answer is akin to the coat of many colors...same answer, different color. Our solution is spelled out in all our spiritual readings, and particularly in today's God Calling: I want you to feel the thrill of protection and safety Now. Face each day with Love and Laughter. Face the storm. 

The storm is not ours. That may be why we don't know...it's not ours to know. Face the storm and feel the thrill of protection and safety...Now.

Thank you.
