I remember when first I read that Rohr quote...in 2015. Since I wrote about it at the time, I know I realized that represents resist not evil in a wrap. God reveals my real faults to me by other people's opinions of me? There...precisely why we mustn't put our trust in the reasoning mind. Therein lies the difference between seeking psychological help and seeking spiritual growth.
Psychological help is about discovering how to stand up for oneself, how to speak our truth for ourself. In short, the impersonal love of oneself. Spiritual growth is the realization that God's love is All, and we experience it fully by our personal love of giving it away for the benefit of others. In short, to love...without exception. Which is not available through self-will.
Our first need is to love ourself in a healthy manner which opens us to the spiritual realization that giving for the benefit of another is the pearl beyond price...is, in fact, the gold in life's dailies. Until we accept that, we will keep looking in the wrong direction trying to correct what we are egoically seeing, thinking, doing, being.
Whether we know it or not, God's love is All, and we experience it fully by our personal love of giving it away for the benefit of others. We are digging deep within for our realization of that, to then love it unto living and breathing it.
Thank you.
