My deepening sense is Love comes in a single dot of Divine within...within each and all, everyone and everything. I understand it not at all, but I do believe that none...human, animal, plant, water, stone...is without that minute dot of Divine.
I believe our dot of Divine is nourished by Love, nonresistance to what is, and it grows us by our missteps, mistakes and errors in judgment.
Slowly comes the dawn, that which our reasoning mind resists, any mistake, is that which God adores for those are the slivers of gold that paves our way back to him.
Our resistance to what is...our resistance to Love in a word...is fed by our continuing reliance on our egoic mind.
The inevitable crash and burn for us is God's hand up, up to the higher consciousness of Love...nonresistance to what is. Which, in God's good time and our willingness to be open, we realize is acceptance.
We are lifted out of resignation, stuck in self, up to a higher reality, acceptance.
According to me, resignation is self-centered fear, stuck in self not daring to trust a power greater than our puny self. Acceptance is unquestioned reliance on a Higher Power, that single dot of Divine which lives in us solely for our benefit.
We don't get to God by doing it right, we get to God by doing it wrong. -- Fr Richard Rohr
Thank you.
