LIVING AT PEACE WITHIN/WITHOUT

Random thoughts and idle ramblings:

Since we live in a material-mind world, our natural reactions are from the material mind. Ah, then later, more often than not, we find our self in the midst of rues, regrets and remorses. We learn to make our U-bie, pray our thank you, and detach from our own thoughts of want-to...those thoughts being such as, slap her face, punch his nose, speak hurt and laugh in their face. We complete our U-bie by remembering: Just try not to be as nasty as you want to be.

I have found that words of spiritual import, to stick with me and guide me in a new way of living, must needs walk in my skin, speak with my tongue without thought, not by rote but from my own experience.

*******************
I'm thinking that God comes to each of us individually in the manner we individually perceive him. Our perception determines how the God of our own understanding intervenes in our behalf...the end result being ever for our benefit...whether we realize it in the moment or ever.

Per Fr Richard Rohr: We are beginning to develop the art of losing. And it is an art, i.e, thoughts, words, deeds flowing from within in meaningful order...as opposed to self-determined objectives which usually are words or deeds shot without thought for which later we often need to apologize and make our amends.

*******************
We are born into the rational (material) world, or what I think of as the world of resistance...as in, if it's not for or about me, my, mine, it should be, so ignore, deny, resist. This is why we need still more spiritual growth.

*******************
Those toward whom I have had personal problems, I have come to think of as my Beloved...for they are the angels who walk me toward my freedom from self...as in, get over yourself.

*******************
We pray God to save us from ourselves...which is appropriate since we are the only one we need be saved from.

To wrap it up, living at peace within our self comes down to: Welcome the art of losing, be grateful, love and laugh. According to me.

Thank you.
