SIT AND WAIT ON THE LORD, II

[This is a reworked reprint of my post of  November 4, 2016.]

In pondering the concept of impersonal love I'm trying to find an apt description for my understanding of it. It is clearly spiritual, but then what? Nonresistance may best fit it, the hook being that nonresistance cannot mean doing nothing in the face of evil. Some famous someone once said that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

Yes, but...there's the Sermon's "resist not evil." What about that?

Ah, here comes the sun! Resist not evil must take us into a higher consciousness...where we rest in the understanding that the Father knows our needs. That is the place we need live. We resist not...in Love. Love is not only the home of our inner Source, it is our inner Source. 

Nonresistance, Love, is what releases our higher power. That power that changes an ugly-appearing situation for the better is not in the reasoning mind but in our higher consciousness.

Resistance is reasoning mind over thinking, ever analyzing, keeping higher help at bay; nonresistance opens the door for our Source to flow forth...I stand at the door and knock.

In general, we don't live 24/7 in a state of higher consciousness, but that is why daily we need to make our self available for God. 

We set aside time every morning, inviting God to change our mind, to detach our thinking from our material wants and open our self to unknowing. Blinding flashes often follow.

Sit and wait on the Lord -- Psalm 27:14

Thank you.
