Again I am reminded that the hardest act life asks of us is that we change our mind. Ah, but it is the underneath message that takes so long to catch, realizing we change our mind not from "I am right and you are wrong to I am wrong and you are right." No. That's reasoning mind still in charge.
A changed mind is our material or rational mind being upgraded to the deeper fourth dimension. Our mind is changed from reliance on our own reasoning to resting in our unknowing. Where reason is a hindrance and unknowing is a gift.
For my own walking around purposes, I consider that I received the barest beginning of a changed mind by a blinding flash of the obvious concerning mirror image...that which I consider to be God's view. Our "Oh, No!" or life's cataclysmic crash-and-burn that we prayed so hard to avoid...it grows up to be our pearl beyond price. Then our "Yes!" or our $2 bet that returns more money than we can count turns out to be our cross to bear. There...kiddie-korn examples of mirror image.
It is said that an authentic spiritual experience comes through great suffering or great love. I choose to believe that an authentic spiritual experience is daily life on God's terms. I've found that my greatest suffering brought me the pearl beyond price which brings me great love...and I cause me pain whenever my ego Lucy breaks out her football, and I go for it.
Hey...that's when I'm doing it right! How else am I going to get to God consciousness except through my reasoning mind failing me yet again?
I recall that it is in that great unknown-to-me that miracles materialize...we pray thank you and God's you're welcome transforms us and our problem.
Thank you.
