Again, the paradox...again counterintuitive.
With still more spiritual growth, this is subject to change, but right now I submit that spiritual growth demands the end of our reliance on "common sense." Paradoxically, our answers now seem to question our utmost trust in the God of our own understanding: Against our want-to, will we out loud admit our doubts, fears, trepidations?
When the answer is of God, as all spiritual answers are, it seems it must needs be counterintuitive. Thus, we must admit our doubts out loud for anyone to hear...or not. Ah, the crash and burn of ego. God arises in our consciousness from the ashes of our ego's flameout...and we are reborn as Love.
That may be the real test of our understanding of our chosen God. Looking back, I realize that until I passed my own test, the God of my understanding was just so many pretty words.
A comfort to me is knowing that there is no God in yesterday, there is no God in tomorrow, there is only God Now.
Thank you.
