THE GREAT RISK...TO GO BEYOND REASON, II

[The following is a reworked reprint of my post of  October 19, 2017.]

It is impossible to describe spiritual growth, or, who's kidding whom, God. Yet, if we don't try, we die. Only our ego will live on, gaining strength through fear...and a fearful ego is death to the peace, love and joy that is already ours.

It is counterintuitive but we grow spiritually stronger by giving in, detaching from, ever seeking to be smaller never larger.

Our reasoning mind fears that is growing us weaker, is being conquered by our (imagined) enemies, is never getting our own. "Our own," of course, is exactly what we need give up, detach from...loose it and let it go. "Our own" is our ego's feedbag

Still more spiritual growth does not come by way of thinking about it. Paradox alert! We must think on it in order to realize that thinking is not the answer. The answer is earned trust. That's how we get that two-ton mental door to our Soul opened. Opened to the fourth dimension. Opened in order for a Higher Power to flow forth.

It is living that earned trust that lifts us to the place where God lives our life. The great, gettin' up morning is when we realize that God has ever lived our life. In our inability to see or to touch that Higher Power our reasoning mind will ever balk at believing.

That is the great risk...living our earned trust. Ah, we must go beyond reason to Love. 

Thank you.
