I am here on this earth for the single purpose of being an outlet for God's fountain of Good. Which leads to my question: How? -- my blog of December 28, 2016
Most Christians have not been taught how to plug into the 'mind of Christ....' - Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," January 1, 2017
I love when I feel like I'm parading my ignorance, and I learn fairly quickly that it is not my ignorance, that I am not alone in this quandary also known as life, that it is mainly just the human condition.
I suspect the reason why many of us are unwilling "to parade our ignorance," is because we bought the theory that not knowing, just not knowing, is ignorance. Most important, we got to pick the person to blame for teaching us that. To accept the truth of the matter, that it was our ego...Lucy!...plain and simple that dictated our beliefs, would require us to change our own mind. In other words, to flat out take responsibility for our own thinking.
Our willingness to let our ego do our thinking for us was then and is now the source of all our woes, according to me.
Unless and until we become willing to ask, often and more often, how to plug into the God of our own understanding, we will stand in the shadow of our own ego, cussing and crying, whining and whimpering. Our life away.
Choose you this day whom ye will serve. -- Joshua 24:15
Thank you.
