It made my life considerably simpler when I began to believe, to do, what I was told...such as, we go to God for God and that is all or we become what we meditate on. I was one who joyed in disproving, or at least in doubting, most spiritual things I heard. I tended to over analyze, so to speak.
In going to God for God and that is all, we are blessed with many insights. Those insights are our ponderables. Which does not mean we talk it indiscriminately for there's where we get into the intellectual proving/disproving...there's no spiritual freedom there. No, we just ponder...or meditate on it until "we become what we're meditating on." We make that insight our own by realizing its very essence to us personally. As in, what is that to me?
Right now, I am pondering forgiveness...not at all by trying to figure out how to do it, but by simply thinking "I forgive" when I realize I'm at a mental stumbling block...another resistant (judgmental) thought. I do not stop to justify me or to excuse them...that's just more mental meanderings. I think or say "I forgive" and move my thoughts on to, say, lilies of the valley.
I am a far piece from reaching the break-through where I know forgiveness as I breathe...where I realize that freedom. But I do know that moving my thoughts off my nemesis of the moment frees me from my nemesis of the moment, and I walk free in my own head. That's close enough to perfect for me.
Thank you.
