DIFFERENT WORDS, SAME MEANING

Resist not evil (Matthew 5:39)

And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone....  (The Anonymous Press, p 84)

It seems everybody loves you until you start showing them who you are...and how you got to who you are. Then it's, "Whoa, Nellie!...bridge too far!...too much information!"

We realize that is how it needs be. That is the human condition...needing to learn that which we need to learn starts by our resisting the source, the subject, the meat of the matter. Because what we need to learn is not of the material mind...cannot be reasoned to a spiritual conclusion...welcomes resistance to that which it teaches, i.e., resist not.

It is that very resistance that breaks down the niggling, nattering, yes, buts of the reasoning mind and lets God's sliver of gold shine in us. It often feels like we are on that wrong road again, but we learn if it seems to make no sense, we are on the right road...in fact, heading in the right direction. 

My lighting rod came when I was first introduced to resist not evil (Matthew 5:39) which was a throw-away, fuhgettaboutit it, line to me. But it intrigued me, as in, how? How can that have stood the test of time? And still stand? 

The lighting that struck my rod came when I was led to my truth, same meaning different words: And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone....  (The Anonymous Press, p 84). 

I knew and I knew not how I knew, but my mind was opened to a new light, a new way. A way to not think. A way to realize...to wait, let, surrender, trust, accept...not to understand but to receive.

Not to understand resist not evil but to receive it, we cease fighting anything and anybody physically, mentally, spiritually. Which may not happen in toto until three days after we are dead. 

I'm good with that...I know I'm heading in the right direction...trusting God even, or especially, in the midst of my doubts.

Thank you.
