We are led to believe...promised really...that when we discover our Kingdom of Heaven within, we are transformed: It is not possible for you to think ill of anybody or to hurt anybody. You strive to live your life in a manner that never infringes on the happiness of anyone. You make a contribution to solving the immense problems that trouble people today.
The tripwire is our reasoning mind, ever with us, which cottons to that promise and by self-determination decides to think ill of no one, hurt nobody, strive, etc., etc., etc. There...right there is the bane of God's good will.
Our reasoning mind, sharp as a tack and proudly so, takes over for God. And p.d.q. finds that it is too possible to think ill of any bloody body, not to mention those who don't hesitate to infringe on our happiness.
Another hard lesson: Get grateful, we're doing it right when we're doing it wrong...we don't get to God if we don't realize we need Him, and face it, who needs God more than one caught on the barbed wire of self-will?
Long/short...we are singularly blessed if we do discover our Kingdom of Heaven within...and it's not our own fantastical thinking. We are doubly singularly blessed if we listen to that still, small voice that tells us to sit and wait on the Lord.
On our journey out and through our life, free will is pretty much all about me, myself, and little i, how to please/appease it. It is not until we make our U-bie, journeying back Home, that we can appreciate that personal need to sit and wait on the Lord. For there is the key to the rest of our life...we sit, we listen, we learn, we wake.
Lesson learned...we are given unlimited love, we are not given unlimited "how to" love unless and until we exchange our free will, all about me, for God's will, all about thee and me.
If the worldwide We doesn't come out the winner, God isn't in it. Alone again...unnaturally.
Thank you.
