ON OUR EVOLVING THOUGHTS...TOWARD LOVE

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

The word in that sentence that today I focus on is "evolve" since the egoic mind does  not naturally lend itself to learning how to...or working toward...what? ah, get over itself. 

It takes conscious effort to make time each day to meditate...but once we make ourself available, conscious effort is for naught. We cease trying to get out of our mental and into our spiritual...we cease trying. Period.

To the reasoning mind, convincing ourself how we are thinking may be our problem begs analyzing. Which is more evidence that changing our mind is the hardest thing life will ever ask of us.

Face it, the reasoning mind is our security blanket. As we begin our journey in discerning the spiritual way as preferable to the material way, we are probably too aware of our necessary next step...to loose it and let it go. The "it" being our reliance on our security blanket.

It is a scary lesson learning that our reasoning thoughts are heading us to our necessary crash-and-burn. But not until we know nothing, and we know we know nothing, do we find there in the ashes our Phoenix rising. 

Our thoughts are evolving. Within us, love is in the process of being depersonalized. In our walking-around world, we know snarks, snubs and sneers no more...we are going beyond reason to love. 

Most especially, we can now think, work and live for a higher purpose...toward being one with those making MLK's prophetic words come true.

Thank you.
