“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,” Carl Jung wrote, “but by making the darkness conscious.”
Praying to God to relieve us of our reliance on our reasoning mind is a waste of our breath and God's time since that has already been done. It's possible we are too stubborn to trust our own faith...or too lazy. Oh, wait...or too scared? We must needs return again and again to the fact that we already made our decision to trust God...back there when we were at our very best, being lifted from the ashes of our own crash-and-burn. When our reasoning mind had nowhere to go but to God.
Whether we realize it or not, every minute since we were at our best, our life has been geared upward to the deepest level of consciousness...toward God in his hidey hole within, a.k.a., toward our Father which art in Heaven.
Clinging to our reasoning mind for our security is like the aged cheerleader or the over-the-hill quarterback trying to take another turn under the Friday night lights. Neither pretty, nor smart...but almost impossible to resist when ego solicits Lady Luck for one more chance.
Loose it and let it go.
Thank you.
