Paul is dictating a letter to some people he loves on a subject he loves, expressing the honest, unedited, natural flow of his thoughts and feelings…. If we read Romans keeping these realities in mind, I think we will become more sensitive than ever to the wonderful dace of the Spirit of God and the mind of a man in the context of a community in crisis. -- "Richard Rohr's Daily Meditations," August 15, 2025
To me, this explains the gift to me of "thinking backwards" being the Way to God consciousness, i.e. the wonderful dance of the Spirit of God and the mind of a man....
My "thinking backwards" floated into my consciousness many years ago...I did not question it, nor have I over-talked the concept. To the best of my inner knowledge, I have lived it without questioning.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but my "thinking backwards" is putting the reasoning mind in its rightful place...behind my spiritual insights while ever letting it have a say in my life. God allowed our reasoning mind, too, so our job is to keep it finely tuned...ready for God to use when, if or as the need arises.
In short, this is our life today: God's will, God's way.
Thank you.
