THE GIFT OF UNCONSCIOUS AWARENESS

As we delve deeper into spiritual growth, we begin to see that the human condition is a needy condition. To the human condition, spirituality comes second, third...or last no matter the number. Even as we acknowledge the necessity for spiritual growth, our material mind is working the angles...how can this work for me?

If we do not grow spiritually, accepting ego reduction in-depth, i.e., ego deflation...because if we're doing it right, that's our reward...then ego-victory thinking will be our guide, ever ready to challenge. 

It's a hard lesson learning that to outwardly win an ego challenge is to inwardly lose a step in spiritual growth.

It is a slow process, this coming to realize that our need is to live by a higher standard than is accessible to reason...open to God and grace and inner growth. No longer living first for our own benefit...after all, God has our back...we are now living for the benefit of others.

We sense God's hand is in it even as it outwardly shows without our conscious awareness. That is to live the peace that passes understanding.

Thank you.
