Grasping the inner meaning in our still more spiritual growth is a slow process. I'm convinced that's why we are given the often snickered-at spiritual how-to books.
That's where I first realized what we see is always ourself, not to mention we are never angry for the reason we think. I unashamedly admit I "got" both of those a lot quicker and easier than I "got" resist not evil and if someone slaps you, steals from you, curses you...love anyway.
These how-tos may be, as some say, "spiritual pablum" but when spiritual pablum feeds you, eat spiritual pablum is my answer. That they do not take a lot of effort to grasp is the good news...that's what makes them such great starters. Rest assured, spinach will come.
I often say, the Sermon on the Mount is my inner guidebook, and I am blessed that it took as long as it took to grasp unto realization even the first level of its meaning. Doing it is a work in progress even as understanding the levels continue to grow me deeper. I expect that to continue until three days after I'm dead, please and thank you.
From wherever our spiritual insights come, the Bible, the Koran, spiritual pablum, wherever, there is but one meaning: This, too, is love, now laugh.
Thank you.
