It is an ever deeper truth and mystery that seeking our good is not going in the right direction...ah, but settling for bad is for sure the wrong way to go. The hook is our own determination of what is good or bad. It becomes obvious, after we've learned the secret, why our direction must needs be to seek still more spiritual growth, and that is all.
We seek spiritual growth through studying the words and lives of the saints from centuries back, the mystics from yesterday and today, by pondering a suggestion from our mentor or confidante when it doesn't make sense...until it does.
In short, spiritual growth is learning to live in the Now, with our eye focused, our ear attuned, and our mind open to all we see and hear, trusting all we see and hear is for our benefit..."our benefit" being for the benefit of all.
To trust "all we see and hear to be of benefit to all" is where spiritual growth is birthed for we soon discover if we seek a sliver of gold in whatever comes, we will be gifted...with a sliver of gold, God's calling card. As we stay our focus on that sliver of gold, it will grow us.
Ah, we begin to trust our own self...to trust that our perception of good in the midst of less-than good appearing is heading us in the right direction away from self toward God's will.
Whenever we perceive a train-plane-car crash all at one time, a Perfect Storm, we can know God's hand is in it, that he has already solved it, and we are part of the solution. We know that love is the always answer, now we get to love at a whole new...necessary to us personally...level. A level our mental faculties cannot worry us into...loose it and let it go, or, God's got this. Stand on it.
Thank you.
