THE MEANING BEYOND THE MYSTERY

Faith is not belief, an assent to a proposition; faith is attachment to transcendence, to the meaning beyond the mystery. -- Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

According to me, to believe...truly Believe...is to not know. To not have the capability of "getting" that which will make "it" all clear to us. 

God's blessing is received not by our reasoning mind, but in the realization of still more spiritual growth. To inner-know...that is the blessing. 

We must go beyond our reasoning mind's abilities...if we are truly seeking still more spiritual growth. 

The promise is great, the doing is slow and slower still. It is virtually a surprise when we realize we have received a glimmer of truth. It is not of the reasoning mind...which leads to questions, more questions, and finally faith. 

If we w/could put faith first in our reasoning mind...ah, we would not have a reasoning mind. Panic would ensue...led, of course, by our reasoning mind.

We go beyond reason at our egoic peril. There be God's job. 

I am told that when we get where we are going...whenever that may be...we will know, and we will know that we know. And we will know to tell no one for as we live It, It will show Itself.

Thank you.
