Pure consciousness is never just me, trapped inside myself. Rather, it is an observing of “me” from a distance—from the viewing platform kindly offered by God (see Romans 8:16), which we call the Indwelling Spirit. -- Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation, August 17, 2025
My morning blinding flash of the obvious: Resistance is acceptance in a hair shirt.
Ah, it is the hair shirt that we resist. We must needs resist not but move in with, i.e., seek deeper, welcome...resist not.
To move in with is found in our still more spiritual growth...spiritually we cannot move in with as it appears to our reasoning mind eyes in the moment. Our gift is in our raised consciousness...the realization that nothing is personal to us.
All is of God...the gold in our dreams, the worms in our fears...all in, around, between, above and below are of God and for our spiritual benefit.
Resist not evil. -- Matthew 5:39
Thank you.
