Years ago I recognized my problem...that I was one of the sick, the halt, the lame yet held myself to the same account as the fine, upstanding and well-adjusted ones. Then, the gift of desperation came to me in one sentence: Quite as important is the discovery that spiritual principles can solve all our problems.
I am finding, to my stunned and denying self's surprise, that attaining the age of 80, 50 of them heading in a spiritual direction, has opened my memories to a different but same-old-same-old snaggle. Going to a deeper place higher did not bring me my self-determined new and glorious horizon.
Circuitously, it came to be better than that. It began by exposing a teeny corner in my mind that held a dust bunny or two that I had missed, or simply discounted as unimportant.
Lesson learned: Never discount a dust bunny...they will come forth and they will claim their due...and we will remember All Things Are Of God. Thank you.
Here's the blessing and the comfort...being returned to the natural mind, we rediscover that the natural mind stuck in reason cannot unstick itself. Again and yet again: Quite as important is the discovery that spiritual principles can solve all our problems.
We must go to a Power greater than our self...to seek a mind more expanded and expansive than the egoic mind can even imagine. Face it, if ego could imagine it, it'd try to top it.
Weeping, we see, we recognize, we accept that the new and glorious horizon is our problem in full view, i.e., a self-determined objective, which problem has but one answer, humility.
Humility comes dressed in love and laughter, decked out in four words, I do not know.
Thank you.
