They that have revelation must live it.
Whoa! I have felt that I have had revelation many times, and often it turned out to be egoic hope...but I don't fault even that. Face it, egoic hope just needs to get shed of the egoic part.
"Just." Uh-huh.
I have learned...am still learning...of the two levels of learning, i.e., spiritual and material. Spiritual is of God, material is of the egoic self... getting rid of any egoic idea requires direct interaction with our Father. our Father taking the lead.
Ah, there it is...the Gordian Knot: Our Father does not take the lead, our Father is the lead.
Giving over, giving up, giving in to that is the important, all but impossible, deal. Especially when we so earnestly want to do just that.
There...another lesson in learning, Want is THE self-determined objective...that's how we come to realize that it is not our want that hinders us, it is the result of our want that hinders us. I have wanted still more spiritual growth for nigh on fifty years...and I've gotten it, only not how I pictured it. I saw it as making me not only feel good but look good.
Who would envision that showing your bumm in public is a spiritual act? Who would pray for that?
To the material mind, praying for that is the self-determined objective of a misguided soul...I almost put "of an egomaniacal fool" but that is a tish strong.
Learning, and then acting on what we've learned, is all there is to still more spiritual growth, isn't it? Because it requires giving over to the unthinking, invisible, silent Spirit within. Faith, in a word.
God is so good to us...God is so good.
Thank you.
