Resist not evil. -- Matthew 5:39
I first came across that verse from the Bible sometime in 1972 or '73. My original response, my reasoning mind's response, to that single verse pushed, led, nattered, irritated and agitated...loved...me into seeking still more spiritual growth.
I have lived that off-and-on, imperfectly, half-assed, just barely and with a vengence, ever since...always and ever for my spiritual benefit whether I knew it or not.
Some of my flashes, morphed from my meanderings:
We resist not in love, which is not only the home of our inner Source, it is our inner Source.
We resist and know that ego, riding fear, is whispering in our ear. We resist not and welcome God, love, whispering in our ear.
Resistance lives in our reasoning mind, ever thinking, ever analyzing, ever keeping higher help at bay.
Nonresistance, love, opens the door for our Source to flow forth. (I stand at the door and knock.)
Nonresistance releases from within a power greater than ourself, and that exchanges an apparently less-than-wonderful situation for the better.
Nonresistance is not of the reasoning mind, it is of higher consciousness, God's hidey hole, or, love and laughter.
