Hate is fear with an AK-47. Fear's useful idiot, hate, bangs at God's door for entry, wanting to win. Plain and simple. To beat love. To gain control.
Fear to love is like black paint to white paint...let enough in, and black obscures white every time. Ah, but black cannot last, it cannot endure...it fades. It fades because God's got the sun, and the sun always rises...and black fades away.
Given God's time, black fades into gray into white. Given God's grace, hate mellows into dislike into like into love.
All this without our needing to lift a hand. All we need do is change our mind. Which ignores the reasoning mind's want-to...I mean, what's a hand for if not for lifting, doing, getting the job done?
It takes as long as it takes for us to realize that all that so-called doing is just adding to our darkness. Our need is to take from, not to add to...getting to God is about subtraction not addition, per Meister Eckhart. Or, according to Rohr, all spirituality is about letting go.
Apparently, all our doing is our believing that we can lend a hand to the sun...for what? To help it shine brighter?
We quote, We came to believe that God could and would intervene in our life in our behalf. Until we trust that by letting it be true in our lives, those are just so many pretty words.
Loose it and let it go.
Thank you.
