ON BEING IN THE PROCESS

Again I wonder if all resistance isn't resistance to love...fear of divine love if we get right down to it. Divine love, as in, I will fight no more forever, and realizing Chief Joseph was right, that we need heed just that.

Uh-oh...it is "just that" that births the fear of love we've personalized...by naming some hapless other as the current cause of our woes...and offers no sittin' in judgment fun at all.

It is those egoic thoughts that drown out the spiritual facts; namely, that God has us in the palm of his hand...God has our back...God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf. There it is...the art and the bane of dual thinking.

The sliver of gold...it is our dual thinking that causes pain enough for us to recognize we are going down that wrong road again. Detour! Turn around...loose it and let it go. 

Apparently, I am in the process of having these truths moved down from my head to my gut to my heart, and finally to meld with my Soul...a circuitous journey with God in charge and on God's timetable...me trundling behind, nattering, "Are we there yet?" And that's when I'm doing it right.

This I believe, and maybe only from my eyebrows up but that's a start: All that we see as fearful is of God. We can welcome it with our thank you prayer and be set free...in God's good time.

It is I: be not afraid. - John 6:20

Thank you.
