PARADOX, THE KISS OF COMFORT

Proving that God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf is to win over our own self. That does not happen as we sit idly by wishing, wanting and waiting.

To win over ourself is to mentally work toward giving over, giving up, giving in to the one(s) with whom we are in discord. Also known as turning our want-to around...we want to win turned around is we want the other to win...and more specifically and harder to accept: I want to lose.

There it is. The beginnings of learning to think not for the benefit of self but for the benefit of another. This is the first glimmer that to lose is to win. To give it away is to keep it. Ah, the priceless gift of paradox...the kiss of comfort to the reasoning mind which now gets that it isn't going to be the go-to anymore, but it's not shut out forever.

Bringing the reasoning mind to agreement that to lose is to win is God's perfect gift. That is the first step up to a deeper level of consciousness...heading toward God consciousness. Or, perfect peace.

According to me.

Thank you.
