Again I am reminded that it is not only that we must be willing to change our mind, it is that we must be willing to change our way of thinking...constantly.
When first we get that God can and will intervene in our lives in our behalf, we think we're home free...and we are! Our lesson to learn is that our ego will never concede that fact without resistance. It is our ego's resistance that tells us the chances of God intervening in our life in our behalf is just a fantasy. It is at that point that we make our choice...again...to follow our ego down that rabbit hole or to throw in with God and try not to be as nasty as we want to be.
Our new way of thinking is to welcome that resistance...in the past we fought that battle and lost every time. I know better today than to fight my ego Lucy's trauma and drama...which doesn't mean I never do, I just know better. When I catch myself doing it one more once, I laugh at how tenacious she is rather than beat me up for being so lax...and often that is as good as I can muster.
The secret of living for still more spiritual growth is to surrender to the fact that we can no longer understand...realize...a deeply spiritual truth (e.g., agree with your adversary quickly) and indeed make the change with one or two, then go back to slinging mud and trash talking them if only occasionally.
Still more spiritual growth has very little to do with talking it. It is all about walking it...until we're breathing it.
Thank you.
