I awoke this morning to a blinding flash of the obvious: Our deepest spiritual growth is unknown to our reasoning mind.
When I went into my Quiet Time this morning, my first reading was from Easwaran: Now the name of Jesus is a concrete and powerful means of transfiguring men and women into their hidden, innermost, utmost reality. --The Invocation of the Name of Jesus
There...that is it...the secret to our not "feeling" the transference, the transformation that is promised. It is hidden from the material me, the walking around human, our world.
But it is hidden within the walking around me, you, us.
We seek still more spiritual growth not to add on to our spiritual self but to uncover that which is already within. Again...we already have that which we seek.
I do not know how to find this. It may be that we cannot know the how of spiritual growth...we do our spiritual growth and are filled with gratitude. I sense that I must talk this not...tell no one...or, Tell No Man (from somewhere in the Bible).
In our silence God does his perfect work.
Thank you.
