Quoting Rohr's September 27th Daily Meditation: "Paul says he experienced God telling him, 'My grace is sufficient for you. Power is made perfect in weakness.'"
That morning's realization that Thy will is all I need...is all we need.
We realize that at a deep level...trying to bring it back is staying in the egoic mind. Bask in it...let it be...do not study it for it is diminished through analitical study.
Trying to walk in our BFOs is counterproductive...the "trying" stays us in the material world. Howsomever, not trying to walk in our BFOs is counterproductive...not trying stays us in self.
A blinding flash of the obvious changes us without our effort or head-knowledge...whether we know it or not.
Actually, we are often...usually...the last to know of our change...or to realize it fully, for sure. Others may notice, sometimes adversely (ah, there it is, the unintentionally beneficial) and remark or not...it is our inner self, our deeper level, God, that completes his work.
We experience that in God's good time...often when we quit trying to make it happen.
It seems we are not that free to be honest, or even aware, because most of our wounds are buried in the unconscious. So, it is absolutely essential that we find a spirituality that reaches to that hidden level. If not, nothing really changes. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, September 27, 2022
