Just change your mind...seems simple enough. Who knew there's a real process to it? Which process begins with our not trying to change our minds.
We get to experience the trepidation of un-knowing: We don't know, and we don't know what we don't know. That can leave one feeling clueless and powerless...the mother of hopeless. Which is fairly hard to love.
Then we are gifted with the why of our feeling so clueless and powerless. It is because we start off in our own mind trying to think of ways to change it. And that can't be done. That's akin to staying in our own bed trying to think our way into a new home...in a different city.
The realization that we want to...that we need to...change our minds begins the process. Then we learn through trial and error that the change is not in saying how right you are or how wrong I am. No. The first step in the right direction goes beyond reason, giving us a strong sense of "this feels wrong." That's because our reasoning mind has always been our safety zone...our ultimate security.
Here comes God to save the day!
We discover our great gift is our hopelessness. It's the necessary that sets us on the path into a new consciousness. We get a glimmer of the fourth dimension within us. Ever so slightly and oh so seldom, but we know from our toenails up that this now is where we want to live...and that it is possible.
We have changed our mind. We have been lifted from the false and fleeting security of the mental and delivered deeper into the true and forever security of the spiritual.
The bad news...we get to do this repeatedly, daily, forever most likely. The good news...same goes.
Thank you.
