In my "new growth" period, I am finding me mentally resisting everything and everybody...my own imaginings, of course. This is where what we see is always ourself plays large. Who I am seeing and resisting in my mind's eye is what I am unsure of in myself.
I recognize this as pretty much pandemic related...having minimal human contact, feeling isolated, is not healthy. Ah, but the "related" is not what can be corrected. It is the action I take that matters., i.e., not just knowing the right words but taking the right action to prove all my problems can be solved by spiritual principles.
That fact leads to the realization that there is but one problem: I am taking myself too seriously. With but one problem, there is but one answer: Get over yourself, the always answer.
Now for the work between realizing the problem and accepting the answer...my go-to spiritual principles: If the only prayer you ever say is 'Thank You,' that will suffice; He goes before me to make the crooked places straight; I myself am the source of all my woes; Loose it and let it go; Welcome it, for it is an angel in disguise.
The paradox: The"work" we must needs do is to sit and wait on the Lord...or, in a word, meditate.
Thank you.
