Each time I read that quote, I know it for the truth...about all of us. But it only counts personally if I know it about me, then I seek better from me.
If we're spiritually serious about exchanging the egoic mind for the spiritual mind, we are inviting a whole new level of understanding to come calling. We say we believe that our Father knows our needs, that we seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. We say.
We are on the path toward learning the difference in saying and believing and proving the truth of the matter. As in, "seek first his kingdom" requires that we have an idea for our own self what his kingdom even is...what it represents to us personally.
To me today "his kingdom" is out of self, deeper within into a higher dimension...there, where his righteousness lives.
"His righteousness" is spelled out in the Sermon which goes entirely 100 percent against the egoic mind. It boils down to upside-down, mirror image, give over, give up, give in, and others first...our Father has our back.
As I continue to seek still more spiritual growth, I expect my understanding to change, to be upgraded down...shucked of its pretensions in fact. That's been my experience at any rate, but I hope I'm not surprised when "not what I expected" happens.
Again, and yet again, We must go beyond reason to love.
Thank you.
