The Direct Approach: Modeling - "The Main Path" and "Broad Road"
|
If you wish to know and will come to me, |
The truth of origin, the truth of any and everything is revealed to a sincere mind that wishes to hear it and is willing and able to follow, in all matters, the reasoning that flows from pondering and understanding the truth of origin, the truth that this universe is the body of God. That truly sincere mind then quickly realizes God's free and unlimited workings and the joyous life that flows from awakening to the reason of heaven by quickly and naturally replacing the unstable self-centered foundation of the mind with the unchanging totally stable foundation that is the reason of heaven. Though at present this direct approach is a rather rare encounter, it is none the less the ideal way to single-hearted salvation.
Though the direct approach is a rare encounter, let's take a moment and go through it just in case there is a mind present that is ready to awaken. Also, since it is appropriate in all matters to ponder the truth that the whole universe is the body of God, the matter at hand is certainly no exception.
So please if you are not already doing so, starting now, please ponder that this universe is the body of God in all matters.
