Hard and soft, difficult and easy, painful and ecstatic do not eliminate one another; they actually allow each other. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditations, October 11, 2024
That, then, is our way to Oneness: Each opposite melds into the other...spiritually. Spiritually, the Way that opens us to a new life.
No doubt material mind can clone it, or scientifically make it appear to happen, almost always for profit, but for us its value is in its spiritual nature. The higher concept of oneness has no outer or profit value...only inner or peaced value.
Hard and soft, difficult and easy, painful and ecstatic...the lesson we are learning is that we must walk through the hard, the difficult, the painful to reach oneness, to become Oned.
It's the same old, same old, made new again...we hold our nose and take a leap of faith. Doing it right in faith is to crash and burn to arise from the ashes happy, joyous and free.
To get there, our reasoning mind must be changed...changed from self-determined objectives to unselfed, of-God, objectives. We must be unselfed for Self to be freed.
Our good news is that we ever have been heading in the right direction...we are well on the road out of self into Self, God's will, God's way,
Our great and glorious news is this is the path we will follow for the rest of our life...lives.
Thank you.
