ON GETTING OVER OUR OWN SELF

What if the state of the world today...the pandemic, the Trump Effect, injustice, civil, moral and monetary...is Providence? And all we need do to heal this state is go with Providence, i.e., make a decision to turn within, away from our self-determined objectives based in greed, lust, power...self in a word?

What if each of us must be healed individually through our own ingrowing Spirit, meaning spiritually in our own time and at our own pace, since all healing begins within.

What if the state of our world today is so in need that a spiritual epiphany is even now coming?

Or, what if the state of the world today is that spiritual epiphany?

According to me, God's view is a mirror image of our view, meaning exactly opposite...our Oh no, Mr. Bill, is God's Good on ya!  Say the state of the world today is that spiritual epiphany, what changes must we be making right this red hot minute?

First, we must needs line our will up with God's will so we'd best be seeking a change of our own mind...our thank you for starters. Then, pull up the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12), read them, argue about them until we get a glimmer, grab that glimmer and spend the rest of our life trying to do them...one at a time. That'll take us several lifetimes, and that's if we're going it right.

There it is. The value of studying spiritual material. It takes our mind off the state of the world today and heads us in God's direction.

As important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all my problems. -- Anonymous

Thank you.
