OUR LIFE'S JOURNEY OUT AND BACK TO GOD

Our freedom from the prison of our own illusions comes in realizing that in the end everything is a gift. Above all, we ourselves are gifts that we must first accept before we can become who we are by returning who we are to the Father. - Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," June 15, 2020

According to me, that describes the life of a spiritual seeker. 

The short form: We journey out at birth with all the assets and defects that we, using our gift of free will, invite to come along. On our life's journey, we gather our boons and banes and make our peace, with spiritual principles as our guide. We continue to gather boons mainly by giving same and ever the occasional bane. Ah, without even knowing it, we have begun to make our U-bie returning to God. 

Spiritually, the sooner we make our U-bie depends on our willingness to detach from self in order to find our Father within. Or, loose our free will and let it go in exchange for God's will.

There, our journey out from and our return to God. According to me.

Thank you.
