Readiness. The readiness to let go. The word is not willingness. It is readiness.
I just got a nudge-flash...all of our studying, pondering, writing, journaling, thinking, talking...to self and others...seldom brings us to the critical readiness point to see the vision of the whole. That can become the block to the critical consciousness...spiritually raised consciousness...we seek.
We cannot enter into that vision on want-to alone...or on sincere striving, doing good, speaking holy words, etc. My go-to is the story of Saul, a persecutor of Christians, on the road to Damascus...he was knocked off his horse, blinded by the light, yadayadayada, and became Saint Paul the Apostle. Obviously, he was not an over-analyzer of God.
Our reality is that we are not looking to be a saint...we are seekers of a higher vision than our reasoning mind can grasp. We go to God for God, and that is all. It is the all that is God's blank to fill...ours is to continue prepping our self for a kinder, gentler way that will benefit our self and others who are seekers, too. God's will, God's way.
To get out of this repetitive cycle, we have to allow ourselves to be drawn into sacred space, into liminality. All transformation takes place here. There alone is our old world left behind, though we’re not yet sure of the new existence.-- Ibid., September 26, 2023
Thank you.
