Contemplative life flows in a circular pattern: awe provokes introspection, which invokes awe. -- Fr Richard's Daily Meditation, August 30, 2023
According to me, life itself flows in a circular pattern...from birth, we move out and up, are met with our life and move down, are met with our life and move up. It is the decisions we make at the point of movement that determine our physical, psychological, spiritual life experiences.
We are heading in the wrong direction when our emotional needs rule our life. Likewise when we shut down our emotional needs and live from our own intellect. Many of us today...too many of us in my less-than-humble opinion...head for the shrink's couch, taking care of the head being our priority. That is not a wrong decision, to depend on it is the problem. That stays us in the surface answer...analyzing the problem, our momentary satisfaction our goal.
In this regard, it is not our first thought but our last thought wherein we find our answer, in the Light Divine...smaller than a pinpoint, the Light of the World.
That is where the answer to our upside-down is found, in such as Resist not evil or Welcome! There we discover the spiritual nature of upside-down...which is beyond the reach of the reasoning mind.
In the short prayer of thank you, we find within the divine light and accept the less-than-wonderful facing us. It is not magical, it is metaphysical that thank you solves, dissolves, resolves all our perceived problems. Not quick, fast and in a hurry as the material mind demands, but God's will, God's way in God's good time...for our benefit.
Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all of my problems. --- Anonymous
Thank you.
