Nonresistance. Face it, the word nonresistance shouts "loser," at least to the spiritually unformed mind...and a long time into the spiritually forming mind. The reasoning mind comes to our aid when we become willing to want to believe. We can ponder with selfless intent.
Nonresistance to those who have crashed and burned and experienced utter hopelessness, the absence of self-will, know gratitude for the resultant miracle.
My recent blinding flash expanded my awareness. We call many things "miracle" today...but I suspect that actual miracles seldom occur purely because we are living in the flow of grace now. That first miracle of crash and burn has never stopped, it is just continuing with the flow of grace through us.
The sooner we detach from one-shot-miracle thinking to the acceptance of grace in our life's happenings, the sooner we can believe without our fingers crossed. Our realization and acceptance allows us to believe in God's blessing of a defeated self-will as a continuing spiritual necessity.
Let go and let God is not just an old adage.
Thank you.
