TRUTH MUST BE PROVED

My refined mantra: The hardest thing spiritual growth will ever ask of us is that we exchange our mind.

Our spiritual growth spurts open a needle's eye to a higher mind deep within, and the course of our life gets upturned. Without our reasoning mind's knowledge or consent...or we'd ever be analyzing the issue...we begin growing out of self into here and now, the place where God lives.

Living in our exchanged-mind world allows us to respond to life situations as opposed to react to them. Response is achieved through our inner listening, reaction is ego on parade...in a blinding flash of want-to.

We slowly learn a better way to live our life is to react not, but to hold to the recognition of our basic need to extend peace, love and joy to any and all.  In this new reality we remind ourself, repeatedly, that each person or situation we meet is our angel.

Times will come, more often than not it seems, when we must disagree with another. We are not only allowed to disagree, it is essential if our egoic but what about me is to crash and burn. It is how we disagree that holds hope for our future.

Learning how to disagree is the mother lode of richest spiritual growth...not to speak not a word nor to go along to get along...neither to curse nor to curry...for both are self-determined objectives. Without disagreement we would be unlikely to grasp an essential goal: We disagree not to get peace but to have peace.

We come to the happy realization...through repeated self-managed do-overs...that we are only human, common as dirt (dirt being rich beyond imagining) and happy to be. This reality knocks the secure props out from under ego's determination to know, show and glow in pride of self.

I'm guessing the reasoning mind could put all these words together, but pull it off? Truth must be proved...meaning, God's work is cut out for us.

Thank you.
