There was a time, not all that long ago, when I found it necessary to define for myself the meaning of spiritual...the meaning to me personally whether it connected with anyone else or not. And I found it...to me spiritual is to have a sense of peace and purpose. For me that is not possible without a heart connection with a Higher Power, namely, God.
I pretty much feel the same today about love. My need is to uncover what love means to me...my inner definition of love.
Interestingly, Fr Richard's today's Daily Meditation is all about love, the inner meaning (or source) of love.
Idle thought...nonresistance has long been talisman-like to me, stemming from resist not evil which was a first of my blinding flashes of the obvious. Today I go with resist not, welcome, and then call on the prayer that Meister Eckhart assures us is the only prayer we will ever need in our lifetime; namely, Thank You.
The only prayer necessary for me today is Thank You which cuts out my trying to use words to convince God to do my life my way: Something scarifying this way comes, thank you...likewise, substitute beautiful or even beneficial for scarifying, just pray thank you.
But back to my attempts to reach my definition of love. Right now...subject to change, of course...I find nonresistance fits. When done right, nonresistance prettied up is acceptance, plain and simple. Maybe love is accepting nonresistance with a welcoming mind, unquestioning, peaced...and that is all.
I'll let that be until I'm gifted with a deeper understanding, higher.
Thank you.
