"God will not give us more than we can bear." While that is generally taken to mean that God will not load this donkey down with more burdens than can be borne, it means much more than that.
As fedele d'amore of our Source, we are not donkeys, but open conduits of spiritual energy. We will not conduct more spiritual energy than we can withstand. "God will not give us more than we can bear."
When our lives are little and small, our aperture for conductance constricted, we will not be given much spiritual juice. And at a time when it feels as if we need it the most! For ourselves.
It doesn't work that way. We are in partnership with our Maker. This is a two-way street. We make our Maker as our Maker makes us. Our Maker looks to be borne and cannot be born without womb room.
The lover, one in love, is capacious, wide open, roomy, free while remarkably attentive to the one loved. The open-hearted lover can bear much. Radiant energy flows through. No more than one can bear.
God is not the cause of our burdens for the most part. God or the Source provides all. It is Man who takes what God gives him and makes his fellow men pay for God's gifts of food, water, and land. Human society and our own minds are the causes of our troubles and burdens. And, those burdens will increase and cause the afflicted to either commit physical suicide or psychological suicide when the breaking point is reached by the "small" me. If the latter happens, all burdens (especially mind-made)are lifted with the death of the false self and the Source emerges. The burden of Suffering is one path to Enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteBut as you state, God is with us and loving us all the time. The problem is that we can't feel that love because our minds cut us off from it and God.
George I always appreciate the meaning you bring to things. It is fresh and refreshes me. <3
