The goal of spiritual practice is to be in the flow of presence, to be tuned in to Spirit. Here we learn to forgive all perceptions of suffering and lack we have placed upon the world. Decision-making becomes simple and easy with the Spirit. It only seems difficult when we attempt to run some aspects of our lives by ourselves. This is where all sense of struggle comes in. When we completely let go and let God, all struggling comes to an end. In its place we find happiness, joy and freedom. It is a state of mind that cannot be shaken, regardless of outcomes in the world of form. Under Spirit’s guide we ride the intuitive flow of our heart, and Joy is our destiny.
“But the ego is the attempt to think apart from, or against God. We are here to forgive what the ego made, the reaction to God… the death wish. As long as we are invested in the world of form, the parts rather than the whole, then forgiveness escapes us. We have to see the world in a unified way before it will disappear from our awareness. Forgiveness IS that unified perception. We become so invested in forgiveness that the world fuses together in our perception, and our mind comes to a sense of detachment from form outcomes, expectations, and goals.”
