THE TRULY SELFLESS

I was reminded earlier this morning of a thought that came to me awhile back; i.e., we, the yous and mes of this world, may achieve sainthood on this earth, and others may see that in us, but it won't count if we see it.

I've been pondering that, as to whether I really believe it. Is it true or is it just another glib thought that passes for higher consciousness when it's only self consciousness?

Right this minute, I'm thinking it's true only to the extent that the truly selfless, the so-called saint, does not see self as separate...s/he lives in the higher consciousness of unitive thinking, One. To see our own self as in some way separate (the saint) and not see all in our world the same is to fall back into dualistic thinking. In plain words, if we see our own self, and only our own self, as "saint," count on it, it's our ego doing the seeing.

I'm guessing it's that very, very fine line between self-acceptance through God's eyes. in which self-acceptance encompasses warts and all, mine and yours, and self-acceptance through our ego-victory eyes which can only see I, me, mine as acceptable.

I'm getting above my own self here. That's where I go every time I ponder that thought. But then I tend to believe that resistance is the only block to still more spiritual growth...so I'll keep pondering.

Thank you.
