We need to move from the superficial or 'outer self' to the true self or 'inner self.' *** Our spiritual journey consists in nourishing and watering and caring for this God-seed that is in all of us. -- Meister Eckhart
That is the gift I was given many years ago...realizing the God-seed already within me. The rest of my life to date has been uncovering it...thank You.
Having been given such a gift, it is hard to accept that fear would...or could...enter our life. Well, it can, it will, it does...what I have come to believe is that, too, is God's will, God's way. By the very fact of the blinding flash, nothing turns us to God faster than fear, we can accept that God's hand is in it, too.
This, then, is our calming rite: When, not if, we feel fear, of course we resist! Until we recall that we meet fear by nonresistance. To repeat...to emphasize...it is when, not if, we feel fear. To expend our energy trying to not feel fear is a self-determined objective whose egoic goal is to deny God's will, God's way.
We cannot deny human nature...which is to avoid fear, period, and that, too, has God's hand in it. Trying to avoid fear is the impossible objective that turns us to God...pray thank You.
All of this brings us to acceptance. I am convinced that acceptance is the seed of the God seed...impossible to "get," but by grace and by God. ours to "receive." Be ready.
Thank you.
