The thought crossed my mind as I brushed my teeth this morning...I wondered if it is that unbelievers do not not believe in God, it is that they don't believe in their own idea of God.
Which led to the obvious suspicion that it is our own idea of God that is the only block to God. And then to the question, what if there is never a block to God? Just a personal inability...or personal refusal...to accept the reality of God.
For those of us who do desire to know God aright, I suspect it is our desire, linked with our inability, to completely turn our self over to God that keeps us in self will...trying to do God's will through our will, or our idea of God's will...with the end result being we seem wishy-washy at best, deluded at worst.
Since, however, all paths do lead to God, our end result is our sliver of gold...it is that feeling of wrong-again-naturally that is our real angel in disguise, or our golden goose pushing/leading us ever forward...or higher to a deeper place.
It's basically the same realization that it is the pain we pray to be relieved of that leads us to God...so praise the pain. It is the praise, the gratitude, that transmutes our resistance into acceptance. And we know peace.
Thank you.
