Resist not evil. -- The Sermon on the Mount
According to me...today...the secret to heaven is nonresistance. The secret of the secret is that our self-determined nonresistance is our reasoning mind trying harder...which is resistance.
Nonresistance is spiritual consciousness, ergo, we give up self-determined objectives through God consciousness...without our controlling it. Often, as our spiritual consciousness deepens, we do not realize the fact of our release until one day when we are looking back, and we comprehend the wonder of our seemingly inadvertent happy.
I'm considering this: Everything we resist qualifies as the Sermon's "evil." Face it, what we resist must by our resistance be unwanted...harmful, if only to our peace of mind.
Quick thought...I'm also considering that avoidance is not resistance. We get to prove to ourself that we are willing for the change we seek, so we begin by avoiding our "evil"...uh-oh, and find that we can't!
Blinding flash of the obvious: Avoidance is not resistance, it is "doing it wrong to get it right." This is the necessary crash and burn, when our angels lift us up, dust us off, and guide us through our U-bie, deeper to a higher place.
I go back to a favorite...'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.' -- Nikka, 6.
We can't get better directions for life itself. Look deeper, that is nonresistance...shucked down is anonymous to our own self interest...further down, and there is love, God's hidey-hole, the highest plane.
We must go beyond reason to love.
Thank you.
