Out of love, the Father abandons the power to perpetuate suffering because the deeper and more authentic power is what redeems, heals, and restores. -- Rhineland mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg
I suspect this is my gifted theory of the reasoning mind (the power to perpetuate suffering) versus the spiritual mind which is the reasoning mind abandoned by God with love.
Learning to accept that we are already loving persons may be life's hardest lesson. Hardest because it requires first that we get over our own self.
Here's our first and our last lesson, I'm guessing: We'll be getting over our own self three days after we are dead. If we are doing it right. While God grins. Lovingly.
Thank you.
