To be truly secure, we must begin to find a source of security within ourselves. -- "Words to Live By," Eknath Easwaran, January 29
Ah, that "sense of security within ourselves" is our past lessons learned. That which, when the same-old-same-old comes calling again, we forget we had learned.
Comes the recalled lesson, growing deeper to lift us higher: We mentally chew our perceived foe a new one, then we edit that and "forgivingly" chew them a new one, then we repeat...until one fine secular moment we're flashed into spiritual awareness, and we know the answer: Agree with your adversary quickly.
We will know this as our personal truth for this situation, and we will recall when we had a like experience before. We received the same answer which proved right as love came from it.
The mini miracle is we do not beat up on our self for having forgotten. The major miracle is we intuitively know that forgetting in order to remember is God's will, God's way...counterintuitive is solidifying its part in our life.
We must go beyond reason to love. -- Thaddeus Golas
Thank you.
