OUR SELF-IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

I wonder if my reasoning-mind nemesis isn't simply fear of others' thoughts about me?  Or is it my resistance to my fear of their thoughts for my resistance gives the weight of truth to those thoughts...and causes it to happen. 

There. Thoughts chasing thoughts with not a glimmer of Truth amongst them. That is what happens when we get bogged down trying to figure out us in our world .

Maybe our nemesis is what Thomas Merton called "our own little self-improvement project." That's getting stuck in me with no regard for Thee.

According to me, we'd best accept our self as we know our self to be and believe...trust...that as perfect in God's eyes. For the Father and I are one. There...focus on that and let the nemesis theory go.

The good news is that until we get the inner reveal (and maybe forever after since there are endless levels of inner reveals), those are still words, just words. 

To ponder...because they are just words doesn't mean that they are not essential words to focus on else we will by nature return to focusing on self..."our own little self-improvement project."

God is love...and also patience. And who knew that is purely Love and Laughter?

Thank you.
