My good friend, Jose retired and living in his home city of Bilbao, Spain has been exchanging words with me on the impact of the ongoing pandemic on the lives of his extended family. Mindful of his own experience listening too, and following the guidance of his inner inspiration some forty years ago, saving his life Jose implores his family to spend time, every day in total silence permitting divine wisdom to flow, offering remedies to all that unsettles.
"The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand." ~ Rumi
Meditating is about letting go of our struggles to resolve those matters that are causing us so much anxiety.
The answers to all our troubles are waiting for us to take our time to listen too, and follow the advice gushing from our inner life.
Relying entirely on our senses will inevitably encourage us to ignore what can appear to be uncomfortable guidance flowing from within our thoughts, leading us in a direction contrary to our rational assessments. Here we are invited to trust, or grow faith in the counselling asking us to take one step at a time. Faith in God is a life long process of self discovery, whereby our faith grows, and deepens in response to the discovery that divine wisdom rewards our trust in Our Father's enlightenment.
“Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.”~ Thomas a Kempis
