Contemplation Makes Rest of Longing
At times, my longing to know God can be a big pain in the ass. It’s not that the Divine is hard to see, hear or experience. In fact, quite the opposite. The incredible need to open my heart is the longing and that desire leads to all kinds of roads that shred the ego and come at the great cost of intentional suffering. The ability to lose your life as you become a fostering agent of love to those in front of you. That is the pain in the ass, but well worth it! Contemplation helps you rest. Contemplation eases you into a unitive consciousness that reassures you that you’re joined to the universe without the need to “perform away” your longing, start the next great movement, non-profit or write the next best selling spiritual manifesto. Contemplation leads to a better understanding of your longing to be loved and to love without worry or dogmatic approach.
