LOVE...THE ULTIMATE IN NONRESISTANCE

I’m not going to call the True Self just 'life' or 'being.' More basically, I’m going to call it 'love.' We were made for love and love is who we are, as I believe we are metaphysically created out of the infinite love relationships that are the Trinity. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, October 1, 2023

That speaks to me...I need to ponder love as nonresistance...and that, too, is for my benefit.

I have posted a couple times recently about being gifted with the phrase and this, too, is for my benefit. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving! It fits most everything I've run by it...most everything, baloney! Every less-than-wonderful thing I've held it up to, it has fit. 

The fit, of course, is in the change of our mind. We wouldn't test it on a "good" happening...of course that'd be beneficial to us...but on the fears, the hasn't-happened-yet-but-what-if-it-does? things.

There's our pearl beyond price...it takes away our fear of the non-event or the not-yet event. 

An unfearful mind is God's territory...our work is over. We long ago learned we cannot change our mind by self-determining to change our mind...we go to God with thank you, and be peaced.

Thank you.
