God’s love is infinite, a concept the human mind cannot form. The divine notion of perfection isn’t the exclusion of imperfection, but the inclusion of imperfection. That’s divine love. -- Fr Richard Rohr
I wonder if higher consciousness isn't a land of yes and that is all.
Whatever appears to our consciousness...yes. We need note that trying to do yes before we are readied is the reasoning mind trying to get a step ahead of God, a veritable guarantee to crash and burn.
Ah, that crash and burn, too, is yes because invariably it is fear filled...and nothing turns us to God faster than fear.
Allowing our mind to open to the possibility of living in yes is where we are today. We did not realize it, of course, never having entertained such a possibility, but that feels like the foundation of all spiritual growth.
Face it, what else could resist not evil possibly mean? That which is my favorite biblical advice...not being a Bible reader, I consider those three words to be my Higher Power's special gift to me, another step out of self...resist not evil is to live in the land of yes.
That seems to be where we are now being directed...to live in the land of yes. To rely less on material mind, i.e., reason, and more on spiritual mind, i.e., God. We learn to live unafraid of evil by not resisting evil. Reasoning mind balks, spiritual mind invites.
We are living in love if we can maintain a daily yes. That doesn’t mean we don’t recognize injustice and stand against it, but we don’t let our hearts become hardened and our minds become rigid in its judgments. Love is always a yes. -- Fr Richard
Thank you.
