My note in my God Calling on October 10, 2013: Blinding flash of the obvious -- We seek still more spiritual growth not for the knowledge but for the experience...to experience the Father within/without. Thank you.
Of interest...if only to me...I had the very same BFO today, October 10, 2022.
Apparently, we seek to experience oneness even after we have realized oneness...often and oftener and repeatedly. We must if we are doing it right.
There's the conundrum..."doing it right" is as we become smaller. We become smaller as our ego continues to lose ground...which our ego chaotically resists every inch of the way.
Without still more spiritual growth...and for that matter with still more spiritual growth...our doubts, anxieties and remorses often spring forth showering gutbucket fear. Which we resist not, letting ego be reduced by its own attempts to grow larger.
Paraphrasing Fr Richard's morning Meditation today: God offers us the grace to humbly recognize our littleness rather than to become big. Otherwise, most of our action is merely self determined, and we cannot hear God's will for us.
Comes again, our long-ago, still perfect, BFO: Fear is God in camouflage calling us to Him.
Thank you.
