Per Jung: ....we all must find an inner authority that we can trust that is bigger than our own....When we are able to trust God directly, it balances out the almost exclusive reliance on external authority....He wanted people to recognize those numinous voices already in our deepest depths. Without deep contact with one's in-depth self, Jung believed one could not know God. -- Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," November 21, 2021
I take heart in reading what Jung believed and lived...in particular, "He wanted people to recognize those numinous voices already in our deepest depths." I know "those numinous voices" are my BFOs...even if I did have to Google "numinous" just now.
My inner authority has found me, I am coming to trust it...and I do not doubt I will be "coming to" till three days after I'm dead. Ah, but I am heading in the right direction, and I am grateful.
My blinding flash of the obvious of a few days ago is growing clearer: My prayer that I learned from my mentor, "Lord, Come to my aid," can only be effected by my using that aid already awaiting within me.
It feels like I am knowing more deeply each minute that his aid has ever been with me/within me, just waiting for me, for my hands, for my feet, for my head and heart to start the process of using that aid...without will, with a peaceable heart.
This is not new news, it just feels truer as it moves deeper within me.
This is the life-lesson we all must walk through, if not in this lifetime, the next, or the next...the time is ours to choose.
But if not now, why not?
Thank you.
