[The following is a reprint of my post of November 15, 2017.]
In spiritual growth, there is a different...a better...way of hearing ...we hear from the 4th dimension where peace, love and joy flow freely...on the material plane, our ego-victory thinking does our hearing for us. -- Blinding flash of the obvious.
What needs to change, I'm coming to believe, is my hearing. According to me, we hear that which we want to hear the way we want to hear it...then react to our interpretation of what we chose to hear. If we hear pretty, we respond in kind; if we hear not-so-pretty, we react in kind.
With still more spiritual growth as our singular life goal, we find a new way of hearing. It is not ours to work for, to attempt to "get." No. It is the free gift we receive from living not for our gain, but for the well-being of the other...which is one definition of still more spiritual growth. Knowing and showing that God has our back frees us up to think, then act, for the other's good.
I suspect that this takes a lifetime to learn unto doing as we breathe, but it's a lifetime well-lived.
Thank you.
