Passing thought: Everything in the material world is of the moment, comes and goes in circles and cycles. In the spiritual realm, truth is unchanging...ever here now.
Our wilderness days are of the material world, not permanent, fleeting in fact, but, depending entirely on how seriously we take ourself, the memory of them can remain in our mental bank for years.
I'm guessing that's how our attack mind is born, bred and honed...maybe attack thinking is nothing more nor less than self-pity mentally weaponized.
All the passing thoughts and guessing are truly unimportant...a slice of the circle and cycle of the reasoning mind. What needs our full attention is the Rejoice part telling us we are being led out of our wilderness...out of these days that are neither believable nor comprehensible, and the feeling of look out, here come the locusts is heavy over our head.
Being led to our Canaan of Plenty is the result of the crash-and-burn of our interpretation of our material world. As so many mystics promise and as Rohr says, great love or great suffering is the price of admission deeper into a higher consciousness.
All of the less-than-wonderful happenings of this year 2020, together with each one's own personal tragedies, must needs be realized as our sliver of gold to hold onto. Because this is what we have before us, what we have is to be welcomed, accepted, thus transmuted, or we'll need slog through it again.
It keeps coming back until we get it right. Here's the kicker...it keeps coming back by invitation only. We are reminded yet again, that the invitation is our resistance. Resist not evil...let it flow right on by.
There's our reason for rejoicing...our resistance had disguised our pearl of great price. The scales have fallen, we can see.
God comes to you disguised as your life. -- Paula D’Arcy
Thank you.
