According to me, this new sight promised us with our exchanged mind is like unto Saint Francis' new way of seeing and interpreting reality.
To live and breathe and walk in our new way is to be present without resistance...without hesitating or looking to preserve our egoic self. The confounding experience of our new walkaround is we are utterly unaware in the moment that we are living from a new place. This is unselfconsciousness.
Blinding flash of the obvious: Unselfconsciousness...Saint Francis' vow of poverty perfected.
Unselfconsciousness allows the vow of poverty...we loose all attachments and let them go. When we have enough, that is enough.
When our idea of that which represents security is our focus, we are seeking out there. It takes our God-inspired eye (the third eye) to be open to poverty or simply enough. A test of our willingness to be open to poverty is to begin giving away our perceived security. Ouch.
Interestingly, I suspect we have all experienced giving away more than we thought we "could afford." We all have that ability within us...it was given us before conception. It is our free will that enters to say nay to detaching our self from our wants which always come disguised as our needs.
We must needs learn to live in this new way of seeing and interpreting reality for our reasoning mind is resistant to the unexplainable, therefore our want-to and our willingness are fleeting.
To reiterate, the confounding experience of our new walkaround is we are utterly unaware in the moment that we are living from a new place. And there is the danger. Because we are unaware in the moment...unselfconscious...we consciously decide to make that our self-determined objective for the future.
Detour! There's a muddy road ahead! Or, do not pass "Go," etc., etc., etc.
We cannot make future changes. God is not in the future. God is here, now...and so am I. Be.
Thank you.
