Our life is all about what we thought...because that's what we got. With the majority of us spending our lives trying to place the blame for what we got. Always looking out there...parents, teachers, friends, lovers, God. God being the final culprit.
Some of us are called to organized religion, some to spirituality, some are atheists, comfortable with no God at all. Then a lot of us just rely on a mix-and-match of the various named religions. (Google names the major religions of the world as Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Christianity, Taoism, and Judaism.)
Underneath it all, I wonder if we all don't rely on the God of our own understanding...disguised however we need It to be. We just never had the nerve...or our own permission...to own it.
That is no wonder for it is a heavy responsibility. To own it is to live it.
Living it is the beginnings of our understanding the invisible, unseen and unseeable, God of our own understanding...and grace. The grace of ego-deflation in depth. Ah, need face-to-face.
Now, we look no further than our Self for help in times of need, for relief in times of stress. That's how we learn that nothing turns us to our God faster than fear, a.k.a., personal need, personal stress, personal ego-trials.
Without need we would never turn to prayer, to meditation, to a Source deeper that our ego, higher than our self-determined objectives.
To own it is to live it...to live it births need. Need is of God...get grateful, get grace.
Thank you.
