Remember that you must not see as the world sees.-- "God Calling," January 1
There. Right on the first page of "God Calling" it is spelled out for us. If we are not to see as the world sees, we must change our minds. Then exchange our minds, trade up deeper as it were.
Interestingly, I've underlined that sentence...more than once...meaning that each time I underlined it, I had come to a deeper understanding. And this morning, I am simply coming into a fuller meaning. If experience holds true, it will continue to grow deeper, truer, more mine.
That's a part of what I love about spiritual growth...it always feels, when I have a breakthrough, that This Is It, the all of it. Then weeks, months, even years later I come to a fuller understanding which I had no hint of before.
Ah, here's where my reasoning mind can come to my aid...I can keep reminding me, when a spiritual matter arises and I'm feeling (again!) that I know all there is to know about all there is to know, that I only know up to this minute. More, different, exciting...unbelievable!...are yet to come...are right now heading my way.
Or, I can shut up and listen...but what's the fun in that? Happy new year...all year!
Thank you.
