Where We Are

I believe that God meets us where we are (in ultimate reality there is no place where God leaves off)yet in order for us to come to a sense of God realization, to have a true expereince of transcendence we need to begin to empty ourselves of the non-essential items that complete the ego. Many schools of mystical thought insist the ego must be reduced to nothing to fully know the mind of God (Self)and I will leave this to better minds to debate. The truth is (and it's simple)our ego thoughts keep us bound to a mad, mad world and thoughts steeped in the silence of the heart set us free from fear, worry and negativity. But how do we get there? It's still simple, it's just not easy - forgive. Forgive ourselves for the ego driven thoughts, forgive those whom we blame for pushing our ego-bottons, forgive, forgive, forgive. Until there's nothing left to be forgiven. And that may take awhile (lifetimes)The funny thing is though - the more we forgive the less stress we produce the less hold the ego has upon us. Reptition builds strength and habits and also begins to empty our hearts of ego - with this emptiness comes a welcoming space for only one thing - God (read: Love) God meets us where we are - and in return we create a welcoming space for this reunion. Begin now.
